GDT 3/24 vs Yankees

After the game, Kazmir said his arm was tired because he threw 90 pitches in a side session Wednesday because he didn't know he was pitching today?!? Guessing that was a factor in his unconditional release.

I hope AA is keeping a close watch on guys being released from other squads. I would not be shocked to see guys available better than our projected 5th starter (Sanchez), 8th man in the bullpen (Carle?), and last man on the bench (Carrera / Santana / Stewart).

Wheeler sent to AAA I’d take a shot at him
 
braves pitchers have an illustrious tradition of big eaters with yuge appetites...anibal the cannibal will make a fine addition to that tradition
 
Case in point, I think Bryce Brentz is worth at least considering over Lane Adams, who I've not been high on. He's a RH version of Preston Tucker, so a good platoon partner in the short term. If the plan is truly to bring Acuna up 4/14, Brentz could fit better than Tucker as the 4th OF at that point. Acuna would be the backup CF, so the biggest need would be a RH platoon bat to take ABs away from Markakis versus lefties.

Saw that and was thinking the same. Better than Lane I’d think

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh (doing my best imitation of the late Merv Griffin)!!!!!!

I see a cage match brewing. If my memory serves me correctly, Carp strongly advocated the Braves drafting Brentz in 2010 while Braves1976 is the undisputed #1 Lane Adams fan. Carp v. Braves1976 with the victor getting his choice for the coveted 5th OF slot!
