2018 Offseason And Targets

[Dalyn]

Our pitching staff right now...

Cubs DFA Duensing. Braves might have interest.

That 7 BB/9 in 2018 is appealing

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Five spots left on the 40 man. I am surprised Winkler is being sent down, especially with Minter and O'Day not going to be ready for Opening Day. Could an opening be made for Kimbrel? Could be....

I hope we get a real look at Fried.

 

[Heyward]

Braves invested alot of resources and time into these pitching prospects. We're about to find out why. The Braves rebuild if it's a large success will depend on how the SP's turn out to be.

They have 35 on the ST roster. Being optioned to AAA doesn’t remove someone from the 40 man

 

[UNCBlue012]

Opening Series pitchers have been set - Julio, Wilson and Wright.

 

[PurpleBrave]

Fried starting or in pen?

 

[thewupk]

So does Duvall still get his money by just being optioned?

 

[thewupk]

Fried starting or in pen?

I'd start him but I dont think newk goes to the pen yet. And we wont need a 5th starter for awhile.

maybe appalling is the better word...he was good 2 years ago

3 righties against the fillies...makes sense

 

[Heyward]

Going young in the rotation, time to sink or swim.

That's right. I didn't post that well.

 

[Oklahomabrave]

I think Kimbrel signing with us is very likely. And soon. Either 3 years with an option or 4 years.

Our pitching staff right now...

Agreed. That’s a 79-win staff right now. I want to see our young pitchers get a chance in the rotation (minus Newk, who we know isn’t very good), but that bullpen is atrocious. Add Folty and Gausman to the rotation, and Minter and O’Day to the pen and things are looking a lot better. Add Kimbrel and things are looking great.

Yup. It's about time AA gets off his lazy ass and makes the move for CK.

He'd definitely lighten up the locker room, but I think he's a little too raunchy for our young player's sensibilities.

I give that joke a D-
