Preston Tucker wants some ABs at DH/LF for ATL

Preston Tucker has always been an all star AAA bat.

 

[McCann'sCans]

Vodnik is killing it as a reliever, but why reliever?

I don't think he's shown the durability or the command to be a starter. Smaller guy, live arm with a big fastball. Let him air it out for an inning at a time and try to keep him healthy. Will be a useful weapon out of the pen.

I'll be very surprised if waters isn't promoted first. He's on the 40-man roster for one reason. Still a tiny sample, but k numbers are down after being down last year from the season before.

Waters 0-6, 3 k
Gross

Nice one-two.

Nice one-two.

Maybe he'll stop there, 26% k rate.

And I still say he gets shot before Harris

Not with that strikeout rate - Heredia or DeShields would be a better backup CF option than Waters if he isn't going to make contact.

Waters just homered. Man, if he can just do something about that hole in his bat.

With his speed, I think he will still hit around .250 -.260. But he's gonna have to get that walk rate up around 8-9% (higher preferably) if he wants to have a respectable OBP.

Waters is back to striking out with two already. Shewmake is 2-4 with a double.

 

[thewupk]

Waters is not the answer guys

 

[msstate7]

Our upper minor SS are coming on. Shewmake and Waddell are both over .300 avg and .800 ops

Really not sure why anyone thinks Waters is even a real prospect anymore

It’s Waters under the bridge at this point.

nobody’s backing up a truck for him anytime soon.

He just can't make contact.

He just can't make contact.

He'd fit in with a lot of guys in the lineup right now.

Wouldn't mind seeing Tromp up with Contreras getting everyday ABs in LF in Gwinnett for the next two weeks to see if he could potentially fit there long-term. When Tromp's bat goes ice cold Alex could go find another veteran backup.

Shuster's ERA down to 1.53 after six shutout IP (2 hits allowed) last night. Not sure how much longer he needs to be in Mississippi.

How many catchers do we need ?

If last season is any indication, seven.

Folks are just desperate for any help in the OF, and when the system is bad fans tend to overrate the guys who are left. Remember when everyone thought Peraza was a real prospect just because he was the best in a poor system?

The Braves have 1 legit position prospect, and that’s it.
