Dpete claimed by the Tigers

Of course he will come to life now.

Thank God we held on to flaherty

Dang! I have always been looking forward to him getting his chance. Always thought he had potential.

Seemed to be a major victim of the bus crash. I think that was REALLY understated by the Braves.

Same here. The more they can down play it the better it would be for their liability.

The couple of times I saw him in Gwinnett he looked like he was swinging a noodle. I don't think this will come back to hurt us at all. Light hitting left fielders are not hard to find

Adam Duvall's ears are burning.

 

[TheBravos]

Well, chances are he will never be a Duvall or even Tucker.

In saying that...hard to believe the Flaherty thing.

Wasn’t he player of the year AFTER the bus crash? It was the broken bone that killed him. I still keep thinking he will bounce back at some point. Oh well.

Hoping Dpete gets a shot and shows he belongs. Always liked the kid. Saw him in AA a few times and he just hit everything hard those three games.

Was in a holding pattern this year and didn't take another step after his solid year in AA in 2016. I think the big problem for him is he's a one-position guy (or appears to be one) and in order to be a major league player in that situation, you really have to hit. Maybe new surroundings will help him. I always liked him and had hope he'd get past his nagging injuries to contribute at the major league level. Good luck to him in Detroit.
