What does everyone think of this gem of a lineup?!?!

9/20 Braves vs. Nats (7:35)

Albies 2B

Camargo 3B

Freeman 1B

Markakis RF

Suzuki C

Garcia LF

L.Adams CF

Swanson SS

Sims P
 
For the life of me I don’t understand why Garcia is getting a start and batting ahead of Lane and Swanson...throw Camargo in the OF and leave Ruiz at 3rd, Camargo couldn’t be worse than Adams, Kemp or Garcia

Also, was Sims scheduled to start? I know it doesn’t really matter but just leave the guy in the BP and see what you got there... I thought Fried would get the start even with Folty missing a start
 
Just because ... I'd to remind 50 that he thought calling up Minter was "incredibly dumb move." Yet another reminder that we should thank God that no one on this board is in the ATL front office.

If Albies isn't going to steal with 1 out and Camargo batting, when exactly is he going to steal?

The failure to develop what could be a nice running game is one of the single biggest things I hold against Snit.

i don't remember much being said when he was picked...i do remember some negative reaction to the Soroka and Riley picks that year

The reaction I remember is that some felt drafting a TJ recovering patient that high was a waste. Soroka indeed drew negative comments because several of the self-proclaimed experts couldn't find scouting info on him (he was not an obvious guy, to be sure). The Riley pick; wasn't there a sentiment that he would or should be a pitcher? I may be wrong about Riley; the Braves have had a bunch of guys who fell into that category.

I remember Riley being looked at as pitcher but I think by the draft most thought he was a hitter. The main objection I remember about it was that he probably would have been available with our next pick.
