Gohara Starting Tonight

I am not a fan of Wisler. The best thing he has going for him is he still has options, but like Blair I'd be looking to cut bait and move on.

I've screamed it ad nauseum but I have no clue why Akeel isn't in Atlanta, options be damned with Krol, Brothers, etc

Aaaaaaand Kemp sucks.

Who said "it's baffling to rely on young pitching and then stick the worst corner OFers possible behind them"?

Gohara will need to figure out the change vs RHers or he won't make it as a SP.

That was me. But I said corners, not just corner OFs. At the time we had FF at 3B and Adams at 1B. Awful.

Akeel could be in Atlanta if they wanted him to. He's on the 40 man and this is his last year of options. I have no idea why. If I were to guess they think he might be exposed since they are looking to trade him this offseason. Pure speculaiton on my part.
 
I predict that we cut ties with Wisler and he lands with another org who tweeks his mechanics and we will all be wondering why he didn't do that in Atlanta.

A bullpen of Viz, Winkler, Ramirez, Minter, Biddle?, Lindgren, Morris, Sims and Freeman are a decent start imo with Clouse, Watts and Graham not too far behind...I know I'm missing some other guys as well
 
I'd be more surprised if Swanson and Albies are at SS and 2b next season than if they weren't. Just feel like one will be traded for pitching bc camargo is just too good to sit in snit/FO's eyes
 
Floor is nasty RP to me for Gohara.

With Weigel's injury I see him in the pen too. Gohara, Weigel, Minter would be a nasty back end. Obviously still a good shot for Gohara and Weigel to be starters.

We just need some of these guys to get a legit third pitch....not a great third pitch. But Newcombe, Fried, Gohara etc really need something else. Can we teach a palm ball?

I looked at the whole playing Camargo at SS thing as they wanted to "pitch" him as a SS to be traded in the offseason.

I think that depends on Gohara. He'll have the offseason to see what he needs to work on to get major league hitters out. Anytime I hear of conditioning being an issue with a professional athlete I worry about laziness and contentness. Hopefully he wants it and is ready as he has the stuff.
 
According to scouting reports and the defensive data we have, Camargo doesn't have the range to be an everyday SS.

Folks easily confuse a strong arm with a good defender.

What would a Rio/Garica 3B platoon look like?

I still see Comargo as the utility guy. He'd play most every game. Let him play some LF so he can be the defensive sub.
