Guys like Fried and Sims still have some development to do and AAA is the place where they should be doing it.

Ideally one of them pitches lights out in AAA for a couple months and gets called up.

We may set the world's record for most different pitchers used in a season and I have no problem with the decision to send down Blair, Fried, Sims, and Wisler. I don't see any of them as being irretrievable as contributors, but they all have things to work on. Guys like Sanchez and Kazmir are decent security blankets with whom to start the season.

I guess...I’m just done with the retreads. I wish Wisler or Blair would have done enough...or or anyone besides those two. I guess it’s just for a month or so anyway (hopefully). Kemp trade looks even better (no matter the circumstances if both pitchers on in the rotation.

Kazmir says he threw 90-100 pitches in a bullpen session on Wednesday because he didn't know he'd be pitching again today.

Sims is what he is. Watched him from rookie til now and it is the same thing. Spurts of good....mostly bad. I'm for trading if he had value.

Sanchez 5th starter?

Has to be...kazmir could consistently break 85. Anyone knowhow hard Sanchez threw yesterday? Had to be a strong outing if the braves moved this quickly.

Just hope either gohara heals quickly or Fried is given a shot.

It does seem pretty sudden, given Kazmir’s sunk cost. They must’ve really liked what they’ve seen from Sanchez.

His k and bb rates were solid last year but that hr/fb ratio from the last three years are a bad sign in sun trust.

also the alternatives all fell by the wayside...my guess is Sanchez will make a couple starts in the minors then get called up when we need a fifth starter
