Who?

Geez, we are really scrambling right now. News can't be good about Medlen.

I'm guessing more depth. He had a 4.25 ERA in AAA last year and has a career 6.82 ERA in the majors. I guess the one small potential positive is that he has a career 3.98 xFIP. His HR rate is insane though.

You're not allowed to steal your own material!

Let's shy away from thinking the worst. This could all be precautionary right now.

Not sure if this means things are bad for Medlen, or they're doing this just in case. Definitely have to be worried about Meds at this point.

Don't read too much into it, Braves beat guys are saying it's just AAA depth.

Thats what it looks like but it still looks odd happening less than 24 hours after Medlens injury.

An extra condom, hopefully.

With Minor and Medlen both possibly being on the Dl to start the year and who knows about Floyd, just simply depth. At this rate or injuries, Garcia will be our ace soon.

 

[nsacpi]

Ian Thomas or bust! That should be our slogan for the year.

 

[Heyward]

Not good, Meds probably needs TJ.

 

[stpeteirish]

this guy's major league numbers are awful. AAA filler at best,pretty bad in AAA last year and if the White Sox have no use for him...

 

[NinersSBChamps]

And Beachy is fine. Just needed a clean up.

You are clearly wrong about Beachy...so maybe you are wrong about Medlen too.

We should make them smear pixels all over themselves first.

From the years of reading Zito's posts, we would need a ton of pixels. He's said on more than one occasion he's at least 6'2 and 190 lbs
