4/12 gdt: Lets win

[Hudson2]

Grissom has to get the call

 

[The Tariff King]

Do you go with Shewmake just because his defense is probably better suited than Grissoms? Or do you desperately think Grissom's bat is going to come in and do what he's doing in AAA?

I haven't seen Shewmake's numbers to start the year, but I would say we need steady defense at SS right now more than wishful thinking of a bat.

 

[Hudson2]

Arcia has been pretty good on both sides of the ball so you’re gonna have to pick your poison but with a few black holes in the lineup already I’d hate to have another one with Shewmake.

Harris is coming back soon. D'Arnaud may be another week out. Rosario has been showing signs of life the last few days. So the black holes are starting to disappear.

 

[PawPawMaxwell]

Is either Grissom or Shewmake the long term answer? Damn sure dont want long time with Adrianza.

 

[Hudson2]

Shewmake is hitting .184

 

[jsebe10]

Vaughn removed from Gwinnett lineup. Looks like he’s coming back

 

[chop2chip]

Best case scenario is the fracture heals quickly and Vaughn hits the snot out of the ball while he’s up and the Braves find at bats for him in a super utility/DH role

Shewmake is hitting .184

Practically lofty for him.

So Nick Castellanos had a very similar injury 2 years ago and missed two weeks (this happened during his career year so obviously his bat was unaffected).

Hopefully Arcia is looking at a similar time table.

lol @ expecting Snit to juggle Vaughn around the field and give the regulars a rest day.

 

[mfree80]

More likely for Grissom to be in LF than utility.

After the next few weeks of course.

 

[msstate7]

Grissom not in Gwinnett lineup

Life uh finds a way

Grissom proves he's ready and we DFA Ozuna. The dream.

 

[USMA76]

I was shocked last night when they told us the x-rays were negative based on the impact location and Arcia's reaction to being hit. It was similar to what happened to Freeman a few years ago.

My optimism was brought back in line to the reality of the fracture. I hope he heals quickly.

 

[Hulavol]

Equation is simple: (number of runs Grissom drives in >Arcia) - (Number of runs Grissom’s defense gives up >Arcia) then we are all good.

I worry more about it lingering. Of course, Grissom could come up and take his job, making this issue null and void.

 

[Enscheff]

Anyone looking at any stat right now other than plate discipline stats like swing rates doesn’t understand sample size, and should probably stop chiming in.
