GDT: 7/30/22….Snakes vs Bravos…7:20 pm…Ian Anderson Chopping Block Edition.

Love what Ian is doing.... But, are the Braves really going to change their trade deadline plans based on this good outing, or the last bad one?

I suspect they have already determined whether they believe he can be counted on for the rest of the season.

Anderson should only be moved if it's to help get a clear upgrade in left. The rotation is fine and Ian is fine as a #5 starter.
 
Going to need a caddy for Harris against lefties. That might be the primary driver on the type of player AA is targeting.

But only for this playoff run. Next year he needs to be given a full season to allow him to improve.

Heredia is already on the roster and may be that guy. If so, Snit needs to start the platoon early enough in the season so Heredia is sharp.
 
Unsurprisingly, Chip is oblivious to Harris’ struggles vs LHP.

I’ll admit he’s done better than I expected. If memory serves correct he was an automatic out in the minors against LHP, whereas he’s been acceptably poor in the big leagues.
