I'll take that!
Lastella is interesting. He has doubles power with excellent on base skills. Thats exactly the type of hitter this team needs.
Yes and Yes!

If all the Braves can get for Uggla is a few million in relief, then it isn't worth the risk of him rebounding with another team. It would be a nightmare for Wren if the Braves only saved a few million bucks and then Uggla went on to hit .250 with 25 HRs for another team.
If Wren can't get significant salary relief he will just make Uggla compete for a roster spot. If Uggla ends up in AAA, so be it.
Everyone, prepare to be shocked......
Tommy LaStella walked in his first AB!
SHOCKING!
If I was Fredi looking at my roster in Sept and all I had in my arsenal was Elliot, you can believe I would be going to see him play in person at the very least.
Shocked again. First AB tonight......a walk
Thats now 5 walks and 0 K's against what is supposed to be potential major league starting pitching.
Out of all 16 guys on the team, he is the only one with more walks than strike outs, and he now has 5 to 0. But he has done that his whole career. I simply do not know what else this guy has to do to make people believe he is for real. He is an on base machine.
I'm not expecting a star but a really solid major leaguer.
He is now at 6 walks and no K's. Just awesome.
maybe a Matt Carpenter type. I'll take that 7 days a week.
La Stella went 2-2 with 3 walks today.
The 2 hits were both doubles!
