Yea I can't see how the Braves view him as a starter. They see the premium stuff out of the bullpen and with our SP depth there's no room. Luke by far has the most upside out of Jenkins and Feigl. Look at the value premium power RP's are going for these days. I love how we're trying to...
I like this. I was never impressed with Jenkins. Yea on the surface he has good stuff but he has horrible control and can't strikeout anybody. In my opinion he settles into a long reliever or 6th inning type RP.

The major difference in this deal is Moncada. We weren't willing to move Swanson(which was the right move) so of course we had no shot. But even if we offered Swanson, Moncada is the better prospect. That's not a knock on swanson at all
3rd and 4th pieces are better in that from braves. But Moncada is a more valuable piece then Swanson. Kopech and Newcomb are similar but I prefer Kopech
