He played for the University of Alabama, so CrimsonCowboy will have to hit up his sources for a complete rundown.

You are ignoring the value of great hair ala Dansby! Braves need the flow!

"Protection" has pretty much disproven as a rock-solid indicator of much of anything, but what you say is so true. You can see it in how carefully they pitch to a couple of Braves' players knowing that 6 through 9 most of the year has been a cakewalk. And it's not only because they haven't hit...

Valuable in the right situation. He's probably a 4.5 OF, which works in the short-term but I think a team needs someone better over an extended period if a regular goes down. Great tools but it doesn't appear he's going to get to a skill level to maximize them.

Allard was one of the top-ranked pitchers in his draft, but he had a back injury his senior year and Clark and company decided to go ahead an pick him anyway. I wonder how much money Carter Stewart has made in Japan and if he has ever considered coming back to the states. He's pitched fairly...

He was using his secondary pitches to set up his fastball and that maybe shows up in the scouting report for his next opponent, but he had pretty good command until he started tiring and it worked today.

No, no, and no. Can't believe this is that difficult.

To show my mastery of baseball knowledge, I was disappointed when Hayes was off the board 9 picks before the Braves' drafted Austin Riley. Hayes has just never learned to hit. Negative O Bwar the past two years. Defensive wizard with a balsa wood bat.

Not very good at Baseball Savant. Really hard to tell today. He really pitched well early but he was clearly running out of gas. Statcast had him hitting 94 a couple of times, but he was pitching backwards for most of the game.

Snitker is so old school. The only reason he's getting Wentz is that he doesn't want him to get the L after pitching so well.

Usually with hitters, you pretty much know what you have after a couple of seasons. With pitchers, every now and then you see a guy who has struggled find a period of success. Morton is an example of that. Best example (at least for me) is Mke Scott, who pitched for the Met and stunk and won...

Only thing worse than watching Bucknor is listening to Rex Hudler on the Royals' feed.

The player was coming up through the minor leagues with his original organization but did not play for the Braves during the H.W. Bush Administration. His Braves' tenure was in the mid-90s.

Reminds me of a story in the Minneapolis paper recounting all the misbehavior in the man camps during the oil boom in North Dakota. They called a Twin Cities' 5 a Dickenson (ND) 10.

He looked like he was going to be a solid major league pitcher when he came up with the Tigers, but it--and this is an understatement--hasn't come together for him at all. He's not facing the '27 Yankees today, but it does appear he was some parts to his game that could amount to something if...

The way Wentz is pitching, one of those guys will have to go to the bullpen.

Not that it matters as much in the modern game, but I've only seen a couple of Wentz' pitches in the upper zone. He's keeping it low in the zone.

Braves' problem is their corporate patch. Their season has been wearing Quikrete overshoes all year.

I can see why you would think so, but not the guy.

The player who played for the Braves wasn't from Minnesota. The minor leaguer I spoke with regarding the first-rounder was.
