Minor League Thread Part Deux

No because Sinnard has been in the system a little over a year. Its not been sev3ral years like Waldrep.

They were drafted a year apart

Curious at a level. It's hard to pin much--if any--blame on Davis unless they have identified something that they believe is contributing heavily to arm problems. He's probably not the one who is rushing guys who aren't ready into the bigs. Braves have done a good job with reclamation projects, but I don't know if Davis has contributed there.

Pitching (and pitchers) can be odd. It was Murphy who helped Waldrep make a big step when he was rehabbing in Gwinnett. Sometimes it just takes outside eyes to recognize something and that probably has happened with Sinnard. It's almost like flipping a switch. Sinnard's arm problems aren't that far away in the rearview mirror, so I hope the Braves take their time with him like they did with Schwellenbach.

I've been more critical of the minor league staff as it relates to hitters. There have been some notable successes, but not much depth or solid performance from some guys with decent bonuses.

I mean, our system just developed SS, AJSS, and Waldrep in the past two years. I don’t think our pitching development is a problem.

Technically Muphy developed Waldrep. He was ass before Murphy spoke to him.

I think what people are missing here is that we need to be drafting more pitchers with a last name starting with S. Particularly if their first name is Spencer.

Strider, Schwelly, Shawver, and Sinnard. The pattern is clearly there.

Murphy as half time catcher and pitching developing cood seems like a good deal for his salary
