My initial impression was similar, #3 or # 4 starter or a good late inning reliever. I would like to see him throw a 2 seamer.

Schwellenbach looks like a #3/4 starter or late inning reliever. That fastball is no bueno. A sinker may compliment his breaking pitches better.

The Braves went after Murphy after seeing our issues with stolen bases in the postseason and the rule changes that were going to lead to more steals. I don’t think they believed Contreras would improve the way he did defensively.

Remember when Kelenic lowered his hands in spring training? It’s back to looking like the crap mechanics he had before.

All of a sudden our pitching stinks.

Stop hitting everything on the ground it’s annoying.

AJSS is always getting pounded.

No he wants to be on the west coast.

He didn’t look good. Lot of big healthy swings against him. They were legit homeruns and Realmuto almost took him yard again. He needs a lot of work with his off speed.

Strider is such a baseball nerd I don’t think he’d waste time throwing a pitch if it didn’t have really promising data feedback. He knows what he’s doing.

Bring back Duvall. Gives us insurance in case Kelenic sucks, Ozuna regresses or a major injury.

That’s exactly what he’s doing. He’s hoping to hit on cheap mainstays to free up money to spend elsewhere. Spend a bit now to save a lot in the future.

That Lugo deal is fine based off performance, but there’s significant concern over his elbow holding up. It’s a ticking time bomb.

I am fully aware of his prospect pedigree. I just don’t think his talent or tools align with where he was ranked. If AA thinks he can squeeze value out of him, great. I was hoping for a better bat in LF. Disappointed that this is what we end up with. But AA is a great GM, he could still have...

Not really, he’s a corner OF with major swing and miss issues. The upside is an above average platoon bat. Don’t think that’s worth taking on 2 turd contracts and cutting into the budget.

Evan White’s contact too. Ugh.

Kelenic is not good, we got him because we are taking on Gonzales’ contract who sucks. I wish we weren’t taking on that contract. Have no desire to watch him ever pitch.

Kelenic has had one good month in his career.

Ah ok, I can see how that would help with the fastball playing up. But what about with breaking pitches, how does spin efficiency make those pitches play up since you aren’t relying so much on rise? We saw Ian Anderson’s lack of spin on his breaking stuff catch up to him when his fastball lost a...

Doesn’t AJSS have poor spin metrics?
