Raw stuff is an indicator, but it loses a lot of value when you can't apply it in the optimum situation during an AB. Waldrep's control has been pretty iffy in the high minors and the majors. He can't use his "out" pitch if he's constantly behind in the count.

Tough grader.

Not to nitpick, the Schwellenbach was a top 100 guy and the Braves were rumored to be considering him in the first round. In fairness, he was pretty much viewed as a top-end closer by most services, but the Braves have done a great job with a lot of the pitchers they draft (going way back) and...

The call from the manager goes down to the bullpen and he has to have a reliever warm up immediately. "Get Riley! Quick!"

Everyone in here used to bemoan that Keith Lockhart had some Polaroids of Bobby Cox. I think Chavez has about two hours of video of Anthopoulos and a goat.

How the f*ck he's still drawing a major league paycheck is beyond me.

I don't follow the draft like I used to, but like a few others have said, I can't remember a draft with so many MIFs taken in the first round.

A rapid run on both HS and College MIFs.

He looks like he's become a classic AAAA guy, but he's had his moments at the big league level. Consistency hasn't been there.

I wouldn't be surprised if Burkhalter gets called up to the big club at some point this year There has to be a 40-man decision on him after the 2025 season and he'll likely end up on it. Being on it now wouldn't be premature unlike the promotions of Waldrep, Fuentes, and Smith-Shawver have...

I think guys on expiring contracts will be the guys that other teams may want. As it relates to Ozuna, it's likely that only teams with a hole at DH will be interested unless they want to take the risk of sticking him in the OF. Iglesias has experience and although I haven't looked at his page...

I beg to differ (and you know that I respect your acumen). One of the cardinal rules (or should be a cardinal rule) for teams not the Yankees, Mets, or Dodgers is that you don't pay players who are playing for other teams (or in the case of Evan White not playing at all). My comments are...

What makes it feel bleak is that the pre-season odds (which I always take with a grain of salt) had the Braves with a > 90% chance of being in the playoffs and a healthy chance at winning it all. No one was kidding themselves during the bleak Eddie Haas/Chuck Tanner/Russ Nixon era. There is a...

I did for about an hour yesterday. Sent an email to the webmaster that bounced back, but things shook out shortly thereafter.

That's the stuff you work on in the minor leagues. Calling him up was another questionable move by the front office.

They are all pretty laughbable. I don't follow the minor leagues across the game like I used to, but none of these offers are anywhere near what the Nationals got for Soto.

It's not any of the individual extensions. In isolation, they are all reasonable deals. The problem is the sum total of the extensions that have limited flexibility. The front office made some assumptions that no one was going to get injured and that performance for all of the guys would...

Harris' glove alone is worth the risk both for the Braves and anyone else. Unless he has a physical breakdown, at worst you just put him in CF and have him bat 8th. He rediscovers his offensive game and you can move him up. He's in Francoeur territory when it comes to plate discipline, but...
