People do get older. But the last two seasons have been injury plagued.

If this the end for Snitker, as it appears to be, he should be congratulated for an incredibly successful managerial career. Almost self evidently he was a great leader of men. His teams fought incredibly hard for him. He was a positive influence on the organization and the team would likely...

Why are folks so high on Fraley? I don't get it.

I'm not that concerned about draft picks.

Not so much an excuse as an explanation in my book. If all the bad stuff happens there isn't much you can do.

He was the QB and good, but can't recall his offers. I can't remember if they won a state title with him but I know they played for one. But seems like he was baseball all the way.

Shumate was a stud at Hartsville HS.

Well that should be every Saturday for the rest of the year. Maybe Sundays too if you're any kind of drinker.

Possibly the Braves didn't ruin him forever then.

While the Rays are maybe too smart for us, it would be a very winnable division if that still would yield playoff berth.

Pretty sure the contention is the splitter is itself shitty but I could be wrong.

Saw that he won player of the week.

I feel when they took the Braves out of the NL West all tradition died. Burn it all down!

I mean if we can isolate the effectiveness of the pitch now when it's apparently in good sequence with other quality pitches... Seems like we could isolate it when it wasn't in sequence with good pitches and see just how shitty it was on its own?

Cutting him probably. I think the movement to have pitchers throw as hard as they possible can for shorter periods has as much to do with roster changes as anything. Clubs used to worry less about throwing these dudes into LF in the good old days. Do not really do that any more. Seems like...

What was his xwoba and whiff % on the splitter when he was ineffective overall?

That's wild coming off arm surgery.

I think probably you should worry if a college prospect is looking overmatched in low minors.

But the extensions have generally been for slightly less money than anticipated market and do not extend as far into projected decline years. It should work out better for team, but you can't really control who gets hurt and who doesn't play well. I liked Riley's the least because he seems...

it's just hard to picture the Braves being the high bid on a long term contract for the top free agent. I'm not sure that's ever happened with a position player. All evidence is that AA might price enforce with free agents but won't overpay for decline years.
