GDT: 5/17 Braves vs Blue Jays

[bravesfanforlife88]

Assuming we are going to lose Freeman for an extended time, what is the move we make? Camacho was brought up to replace Peterson who was taking over for Garcia, Peterson covering 1b now leaves bonafacio and flowers/Suzuki on the bench.

We have no one in AAA really ready to step in at 1b or really even in the in field...

Just like that 2nd in NL East. Man this division sucks.

lol damn thats sad

 

[TheBravos]

Probably inconclusive to tell if he needs surgery or not...

 

[zbhargrove]

Bring Franco up for first base? AA but kinda having a breakout year. Will likely suck hard

he is not ready yet, but I think you have to bring up Ruiz for 3rd base, Peterson become everyday 1st base and Carmargo is super utility (maybe platoon with Ruiz against LHP).

People are wanting to see the young guys, especially if the season is lost with Freddie out.

Hessman is available.

DOB believes the injury is to the pisiform bone above the wrist.

270' of traveling between what Jace and Suzuki each said plus a realization of the score might have sobered Bautista a little.

Soooo... assuming this is the injury, what kind of recovery time % of a full recovery?

No idea. It's believed that's where the injury is but they're not sure if the bone there is broken or not. We'll find out tomorrow.

I wonder if the Braves try to swing a minor trade given the lack of in-house options/solutions available. Somebody like a Pedro Alvarez, for example.

 

[goldfly]

there really isn't a reason to make a trade to have a short term replacement for Freeman if he is to be DL'd

Looks like Lord Google tells me that regular people are in a cast 6-8 weeks if the bone is broken. We can only hope it's not a break.

I think a couple options are: Matt Adams, James Loney, Chris Collabelo or Richie Schafer and lastly internally Carlos Franco.

This is why the Sean Rodriguez injury was so devastating...

Isn't he like 60 now?

My lily white ass.

Completely agree here. May see someone like Tuiasosopo get called up for bench help with Peterson and possibly Markakis getting the majority of the time at first with more starts in The OF for Bonifacio and Salazar.
