Max Povse wasn't as sharp today. Had a reason. Rocket Wheeler said after the fans he pitched despite feeling ill.

Kind of funny that Wren was judged as having a bad farm but a lot of the guys we're following closely we didn't acquire via trade are from his tenure.

Also some of the international signings from his tenure were pretty nice parting gifts: Albies, Acuna, Yepez.

Yep. Looks to me when the Heyward window opened in 2010 he was drafting for short term needs because we had an outstanding core in Freeman, McCann, Heyward, Minor, Medlen, Kimbrel, Venters. Kind of like when JS depleted the farm for Tex. But he has given some nice kids for Zeets to follow.

Opposite field, RBI double off the wall for Rio Ruiz in his first AB.

Wren was a mediocre GM. Not worth defending or grumping about. He's the Nick Markakis of GM's. He's technically worth the contract, but meh.

Wren was not great drafting

But he got fired bc everytime he spent significant money on a player outside braves country it was a total disaster. Then he was an all accounts a hole on top of a terrible fa buyer.

Well of course most of the guys in the system that we didn't acquire via trade are leftovers from the Wren era. But how many of the guys we're truly following does that include?

Judging solely from the stat line, it looks like Fried pitched ok. As long as these young guys are striking guys out and not walking a ton, I'm fine with it.

Touki and Sanchez are the obvious ones who aren't doing that right now, but everybody else seems to be pitching at least pretty well.
