I don't have any idea what Nacho's defense is like at shortstop, but he at least gets on base at a high clip. No power to speak of.

Nacho was promoted as well.

Sorry if I missed this earlier in the thread, but is Owen Murphy injured? Seems like he hasn't pitched in a while.

I think this was mentioned earlier in the thread, but I listened to a podcast with Garrett Spain the other day and he basically said the Braves have instructed AJSS and Waldrep to not use their best pitches in order to develop other pitches. If that's true, it helps explain the struggles of AJSS...

I don't think we'd be doing Waldrep any favors by calling him up now. Elder is fine for now.

That's encouraging, since neither AJSS nor Waldrep have been lighting it up.

Maybe they're going to trade Iglesias?

They're clearing 40-man space for when they sign Yamamoto and then trade Fried to restock the farm. (I'm not being serious).

From Fangraphs on Roddery Munoz: His fastball resides in the 95-96 mph range with ride and run that explodes in on the hands of righty batters, and he mixes it equally with his plus slider, with both clocking in at 46% of his pitches. He throws the slider in the 89-91 range and it features...

An OF mix of Acuna, Harris, Conforto, Grossman, and someone like Randal Grichuk would be great.

I was agreeing with you.

Harris has a 98 wRC+ against lefties this season, and Heredia has a 101 wRC+ in his career versus lefties. So yeah, I don't really see the point in platooning Harris.

He pitched last night.

What about Darvish AND Wil Myers?

Oh my god, man. I'm extremely sorry to hear that. I can't imagine what your family is going through.

Is there a trade partner (mutual salary dump) that makes sense with Ozuna? Him for Darvish and Myers? Contreras could theoretically take over most of the DH plate appearances.

I don't understand why Snit keeps deploying Heredia in the corners.

Too bad we traded our secret weapon in Bryse Wilson.

So I guess Michael Harris will start at High-A?

If he continues pitching relatively well, I could see Ynoa getting 20+ starts this season. It seems likely that at least one of Soroka, Fried, Morton and Smyly will be on the IL at any given time.
