Swanson looking a bit overmatched quite a bit these first couple weeks. He might just settle in as more of an average player than the 3+ win guy we were hoping for.

His RBI single was great.

I think hitting him second is asking a lot. But we will see. I'm not on the dansby is great train yet but I'd still bat him above Adonis Phillips and our catchers
 
I love watching his pitches in slow motion. It really gives you insight into how much it moves. How does anyone hit it when its on?

It seemed to have the hitters (and catcher) baffled even when it stayed in the strike zone. I think pitching in Sky Dome hurt him the last few years. He's going to turn out to be our best signing last off-season. I love the option for the second year.

More importantly that even when he has a bad game it's almost always 6+ innings. If the starting pitching comes together I think the braves have a shot at finishing at or above 500 this year.

I'm not so optimistic about Colon and Jaime Garcia. We'll see.
 
Glad to see Phillips coming around. Thought he was going to go E-bar on us. He still doesn't know how to walk but we knew that.

Ozzie is starting to thrash AAA. It is going to be interesting to see how the FO handles this. Especially if Phillips is still winning us games.

I've read here some saying move Phillips to 3rd. Is this even a possibility?

Phillips has always been a low walk guy. You need some combination of defense/BABIP/power from him to generate any value. He was a decent player as recently as 2015. He might be able to give something close to what he produced that year.

He was awesome second half last year a's well.

I think he stays around till deadline. If we are in contention I still worry front office won't have the stones to trade him.

But if he's a 280 plus hitter with some power and good d on a one million deal then he should net us a useful pen arm prospect
