Braves sign Kyle Kendrick

[nsacpi]

There's no stopping Folty or Perez' clocks, and with Banuelos out of options we're looking at...

The service time clocks of players like Folty and Perez do stop when they are optioned to the minors. In the case of Banuelos, I think his being out of options does work to increase the odds he will not only make the team but also be in the starting rotation. It makes sense to try to develop as many of our prospects as starting pitchers as possible. Most won't make it but we shouldn't prejudge which ones will and which ones won't. Give them all as much of an opportunity as possible.

Right now I would guess our rotation coming out of spring training will be:

Teheran
Wisler
Norris
Banuelos
Chacin or Kendrick

Both Chacin and Kendrick are on minor league deals. So one of them or even both can be cut loose at the end of spring training.

I wanted to click a big LIKE on this, but you don't seek those, I guess.

Depends on whom you ask.

First I thought this was Kyle Hendricks and was pretty excited. Then I realized it was Kendrick and got pissed. Hope Chacin beats him out. He's s better pitcher.

I remember my sister a Phillies fan trying to tell me that Kyle Kendrick was good.

So it runs in the family.

I would have thought the lesson would have been learned by now -- you cannot have enough pitching. We thought they had more than enough last year, but the appearance of Mark Marksberry and Ryan Weber tell you that they didn't have enough to last the season.

That's #4 prospect Ryan Weber to you.

First I thought Jimi Hendrix and wondered how that would even be possible.

"Hey Joe, where you goin' with that gun in yo hand?"

"I'm goin' down to shoot Olivera because he won't hit the ball the other way.."

The FO seems to be hoarding money for something. I assume it's mostly about the international signing period this Summer, but I'd like to see some improvements to the MLB roster. Juan Uribe and a reliable LH specialist would be a good start.

Please don't hold your breath on this.

First I thought Anna Kendrick and figured, hey, unconventional, but she has a track record of achieving success against the odds, using unconventional methods and surrounded by cast of misfits.

You mean there was an actual plot to movies she's been in???

Hard to follow when you're busy perving her cleavage - LOL.

Wouldn't mind seeing her stretch on my mound and deliver one high and tight.

An Anna Kendrick thread wouldn't be the worst way to get through January.

I feel like we also talked about an Anna Benson back in the day as well...

At first I thought we signed Kendrick Lamar and was pretty okay with it. At least the stadium music would have been on point.

Well done.

Yeah, and the Anna Benson groupies are better off keeping quiet, along with the Nascar hicks.

Not even once.

That's before she showed up in Kris' kitchen strapped with face paint. As opposed to her presentation when he met her, which was strapless with body paint.
