Braves Trade Deadline Rumors

Maybe the whole starter thing was when Beachy had his setback and the rotation wasn't really doing well. I agree that unless you get a TOR starter I don't see adding a guy like Bud Noris as an improvement over what we have.
 
Trading for a starter is fine if you get an ACE, something Bud Norris isn't.

I don't think he's better than Medlen or Beachy.

What we need more than anything is a consistent bat, I don't see pitching as a HUGE need but maybe I'm wrong.
 
I've been reading about all these teams possibly wanting in on Norris and haven't kept up with him. Thought he must be having a really good season, but it isn't all that great. Guess the market for a starter is just very slim right now. Wish we could shop Maholm and get someone to overpay. But that's no longer likely.
 
I think Wren will be more likely to look harder a SPs now if the news for Huddy isn't good. Not sure if he gets one but if we go into playoffs that rotation I don't know about our chances.
 
Problem is that I don't think we are going to see Tehearn in the postseason because of an innings limit.

So the you are looking at:

Minor
Beachy
Medlen
Maholm

Eh....

Maybe Alex Wood can provide a spark.

I have yet to read anything about this but people keep posting it.

I don't believe the braves are going to bench Teheran because of innings

Agreed. Even the year they called up Tommy Hanson, he was pitching in the minors before he got called up and pitched until the very end of the year. I remember bobby specifically being careful with him on pitch-count but not innings count.

Really? The man is 6-9 with a 3.62 ERA, a 106 ERA+, and 0.5 WAR. His next start is pushed back a few days, and there is talk of him moving to the BP.

Isn't that pretty much the definition of mediocre?

Lowest ERA in the rotation at the start of July.

Dude has had 1 bad month out of 4, and you're ready to regulate him to the pen :confused:

You have a serious case of WhatHaveYouDoneForMeLately
 
I just don't see SP as a big need. I live Hudson to death but its not like he's pitched like an ace this year. We are fine with Beachy replacing him and Wood as depth.

He has been really good for the last 2 months - 69.1 innings with a 2.72 ERA during that time
