Agreed. They said Duvall had some health issues (likely related to Diabetes) last summer that really hurt his performance. Looking at his monthly splits that would make sense. Assuming that's under control I see no reason he can't return to being a plus hitter against lefties. That and as you said can actually play defense. I think he will be an asset to the team.

Now reading where Folty and Gausman may not be ready for the season.

Plus, Touki’s getting bombed.

I’m not really worried about ST stats but elbow and shoulder soreness aren’t good signs at all. If they evaluate Folty and see that he would have to have TJ surgery then they would probably use up any money they have left over to sign Keuchel.

Didn't this happen to us before? The year we went out and signed Ervin Santana

Folty hurt, Gausman hurt, Gohara hurt, Soroka hurt, Touki sucks. Happy Thursday lol

Haha! I don’t think any of these are bad injuries. Folty said he would pitch if it was in the season. Just have to be careful with these guys in the Spring. Wright looked good, btw. Maybe he steps up.

I think we lost Medlen and Beachy for the year on back to back days that spring. Minor was maybe out for the whole season also? Can't exactly recall.

I know it's a bit of the in-the-moment reaction, but the Braves have hurt pitchers and a front office that won't spend money while the Phillies just signed Harper (albeit to a horrible deal). What a dumbass organization we have.
