With the injury to Sanchez, Camargo is recalled to Atlanta and will be ready for tonight's game. Drive on over....

Question that I have been thinking about as I ponder for spring training. How many Lefty starters is too many in a rotation? Over the past couple years (prior to last year), Atlanta was devoid of Left handed starters. Many added that this fact put them at a disadvantage for a few reasons...

I know it has been a generally bad season for the MLB team, but it is ending exactly like I had hoped.. Julio - showing signs of getting back on track (although I would not mind him being traded) Folty - last 2 starts look like he is coming back down to earth (he is what he is) Newcomb - taking...

Here is what I think they are trying to do for August 1st roster. If they get it done is another question. Lineup Inciarte (CF) Albies(2B) Freeman(1B) Kemp(LF) Acuna(RF) Flowers(C) Camargo(3B) Swanson(SS) Bench SROD Micha Johnson Adonis Suzuki Rotation Gray Folty Newcomb...

With the promotion of Weigel, the Gwinnett Braves rotation now boast 3 legitimate prospects. I want to see how the prospects perform on a daily basis. That is one of the best parts of this forum. However, Mississippi, Florida, and Rome was getting all my attention. Now Newcomb, Sims, Weigel...

Of all of the pitching prospects the Braves have, Gohara seems to be the least talked about. Last night, he continued his early season dominance. Of course for the Braves he is OLD for his level being 20 already at A+. On the year he has a pretty good line at 4 games, 21 IP, 1.29 ERA, 1.05...

With Kemp being reactivated, it is a good time to adjust the line-up. How would you do it if you were Snit. Mine is: Ender Phillips Freddie Kemp Marky Swanson Adonis/Peterson platoon (it is a shame when a guy hitting .217 against righties is a major upgrade) Suzuki (until Tyler is back)

Dont look now, but the rotation just went through with every starter pitching a Quality start. If we keep getting production like that it bodes well for the team (W/L, value for trades, development of pen, covering up for obvious deficiencies).

Has it been announced yet where each prospect is starting the season? I saw Soroka is starting a AA, but I would like to know about everyone else with a couple key ones (Fried, Acuna, Riley, AJackson) Is there a central location for me to look.

Was thinking about which 2 SPs we will add and it made me think we need room for a prospect that has a chance to be a TOR guys (#1/#2). So with so many pitching prospects who do you think is going to be a TOR guy and when? Whalen, no, 2017 Newcomb, YES, 2017 Sims, no, 2017 Povse, no, 2018...

If NY loves Folty and has an extra catcher, then how about we work a deal. Folty / Mallex for Sanchez

I know all the talk is about who the two new SP will be. I think we all assume Tehran, Folty, SP, SP, Wisler will be the rotation. Depending on those two new SP, I like the looks of that. BUT, I think we are going to have a major step forward next year. I believe Newcomb is the sleeper that...

I find all the talk about the rotation puts the rebuild into a questionable holding pattern. If they get 2 - MOR or better SP, then they have a lot of prospects that they think are close that will possibly have to wait for a while or what do they do with them? I think the rotation will be...

As I think about what the Braves should do for next year a couple questions come to my mind. The most important question about what they should do is what do they currently have. Folty is a big question. How do you project him for 2017? He has shown really good...and rally questionable. On...

The whitesox do have a problem with Sale's attitude, could we strike? Mallex (they need a CF), Wisler, Cabreara, Ellis... seems like a combination of extreme talent (Mallex, Cabreara) and potential (Wisler, Ellis). We could then sign Colon and have a staff of Sale, Teheran, Folty, Colon, Best...

The braves offense has obviously had a great 5-6 games, but if you look at the results of the braves offense back as far as the first of August you have to be somewhat excited (unless you wanted the #1 pick). So the current lineup appears to be pretty good. Now I know a few hitters are hot...

It will be very interesting in the outfield now that Mallex is coming back. There is much speculation about who (if anyone) should be traded this off season. - Marki of course is a board favorite to trade, and his 2nd half could have raised his value. - Ender vs. Mallex is a common topic...

I am not sure I give a lot of stock in finishing out the season strong as an indicator of following year performance, but I do like to see prospects get it as the year goes on. Sometimes it just clicks. I have enjoyed watching the results of key pitching prospects especially. I decided to...

Don't look now, but Ender Inciarte is becoming what some hoped he would be in the Miller trade. Namely a quality defensive CF with good to above average hitting (primarily OBP) and good to above average base running. His CF has been quality all year...check His base running has been...

I have been watching the Braves for many many years and although it has been up and down, I can see exactly what they are trying to do with the pitching staff and I have to say I love it. Like Bill, I think that a pitching first approach is still the best way to build a consistent winner in the...
