Bad news for our tanking.

Who had Montero as the first one to go?

Who had us getting anything for Montero

 

[Enscheff]

24 year old in AA with a .600 ops.

That might be worse than nothing. Montero was likely more valuable just to prevent other arms from having to pitch.

Technically De Los Santos was first.

 

[Carp]

Quick peak at the numbers and he seems like Luke Williams 2.0.

Montero wasn't anything of value though.

 

[Hudson2]

Can't believe somebody wanted Montero.

You can never have too many SSs that can't hit a lick - AA, probably

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

I’m not going to complain much. I’m surprised the Braves got more than a few bats and a couple dozen baseballs for Montero

You are ignoring the value of great hair ala Dansby! Braves need the flow!

 

[Hulavol]

This makes me happy. I’m still pissed at Montero for that Arizona game.

I think bats and baseballs would be more valuable than a guy not even good enough to play in AA.

The Tigers are probably saying the same thing about their guy.

Looking at RosterResource, this saves the Braves around $1.25m. So it at least helps to fund our various moves to survive the present (Fedde, Carrasco, Kinley, etc.).

There is a reason we call these guys lottery tickets.

Likely nothing, but a guy who can play SS is probably athletic enough to take a look at.

I checked his stats and he's played 2B and 3B in addition to SS in Erie (the Tigers' AA team). If his baseball career doesn't turn out for him, at least he got a chance to be a Moon Mammoth. Get his game-used Moon Mammoth jersey here: Jim Jarvis Moon Mammoths Jersey

Jim Jarvis sounds like the name of someone who was born in the 50’s.

I thought of former Brave RHP Pat Jarvis and Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman actor Graham Jarvis.
