What happened to Wentz

Just out of curiosity do you gus think there os anything Profar can do at this point to redeem himself to Braves fans? Like if he remains on the team and was a key part of a championship run next year.

The Phillies are a bunch of losers?

They will both likely begin the year in a 6 man rotation

Dodd is a RP not a SP but he likely won’t break with the team because we already have 3 lefties and he has an option. If something happens to Lee or Bummer he should be getting the call though

They’ve been saying he’s a Furcal/Betemit hybrid from a prospect standpoint

Freeman played chicken with the Braves and eventually the Braves decided they needed to make a move so they weren’t left hanging. A classic case of FAFO for Freeman.

Now that could make some sense especially considering the Braves are corporate run. It’s possible that AA was authorized to push up to tax 3 at the start of the offseason but after the news had to pivot to closer to the tax 2 line mid offseason. If that is what happened it also would not be to...

Called it

It’s not impossible that he returns very late in the year but that is the most likely outcome

Has anyone heard any Waldrep updates? That seems like the exact surgery recovery timeline someone around here was saying yesterday when everyone was acting like he’d be done for the year

Our bench as currently constructed lacks a quality LH bat. We’re pretty strong on versatility with Dubon Mateo and White so we could likely sub out Wisely for Smith

The problem with getting Ryan 2 months ago though is it would have likely taken 2 starters from our depth this year to do it. So now we’d be down 3 starters.

So if AA signs a SP now then all is good right?

This has been the Dodgers model exactly. They just have the luxury of using 10 TOR pitchers.

We’re still several injuries away from even thinking about having Carrasco pitch MLB innings this year.

I’m actually still holding out hope. People say you need 10 SP to get through a season and since we haven’t lost anyone for the season i just see it as we’re still figuring out who’s the starting group and who’s the reinforcements.

I’m not sure investing in a pitcher over 40 who has only started 26 games over the past 2 years is the best way to mitigate our injury risk

The information we’ve received about their injuries does not indicate that. Even on the long end of their recovery and ramp up timline we should have them both back by the beginning of July. It doesn’t appear SS2 or Waldrep are dealing with any kind of ligament damage so its just a minor cleanup...

Having AA say that would be a serious issue because SS2 and Waldrep should already be back by that point and AJSS should be out the whole year.
