Braves get Brad Hand

[Hudson2]

Sweet! For Alex Barger.

 

[Hudson2]

This will help the bullpen out.

 

[cajunrevenge]

I have full confidence Hand can get the job done.

 

[chop2chip]

Good depth. Not sure you want this guy pitching high leverage but he should get the job done most of the time

Never let’s me down

 

[Carp]

YES!! My top BP target. You all can thank me now.

Braves needed that second lefty to face Freddie/Soto/Harper etc

Ideally that is Lee, but who knows with his shoulder if he can be depended on.

 

[GovClintonTyree]

Mr. Hand first. Spicoli incoming

Walks are an issue but lefties have a 233 wOBA against Hand this year

 

[The Tariff King]

One of the last players to ever play for the Florida Marlins

 

[KOdawg1]

Good addition.

Now go get a starter

 

[The Tariff King]

Hand and Johnson gonna be a deadly middle relief combo coming out of the back end of the pen.

 

[Carp]

If Hand pitches well, I would expect AA to sign him to extension rather than pay a 500k buyout or pay him a 7 mil salary in 2024.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

great pick up....



4 years ago.. Nah.. just kidding. should do well against lefties and he has been a bit unlucky this year. maybe a little resurge is in order for ol Handy.

 

[Hudson2]

Getting out of Colorado should help him as well.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

very true.. something with higher spin rates don't translate well.

 

[Garmel]

Hand and Johnson gonna be a deadly middle relief combo coming out of the back end of the pen.

Now that's funny. lol

 

[drewdat]

Maybe by September we can go Elder-Lee-Hand-Johnson

 

[bravesnumberone]

Hand seems like a guy Cox would have always wanted.

Hand seems like a guy Cox would have always wanted.

There has to be a joke about Cox bringing in Hand from the bullpen in there somewhere
