Minor League Thread

I got along with Bill fairly well because I just didn't engage him when I disagreed with him. The thing that always made me laugh is that every Braves' prospect was headed for the Hall of Fame. Elvis Andrus going to be the "next Alex Rodriguez." I will say this for Bill. He did have some channels into the Braves' scouting and player development departments, so he did have some inside information (that he forced us to pay for if we wanted to see it).

No Glod in the lineup. I wonder if he goes to Augusta when they resume action tomorrow.

Will be curious when Waldrep, Hackenburg and Kuehler get action. I’d think Kuehler is the most likely since he was shut down with an injury for a month or two during the regular season but was healthy when the season ended. So he’s got the least innings of the trio this year.

I had the same thought on Glod. There certainly isn't anyone in Augusta blocking him. Curious to see if Grady and Kern are just getting some swings in before moving up as well.

Marte just destroyed every league he played in before hitting the majors. Like you say, the minors and majors are in different galaxies and once a player hits higher levels, they will have to make adjustments. Some guys can do that and some guys can't. Still and all, I was extremely surprised that Marte did not do better. Bill Shanks had him fast-tracked to the Hall of Fame.

Perhaps my favorite interaction between bill with anyone, was one he had with you. Where for some reason he had told you to give him a break, and you were like:

"earn one"

It was so nice to see you regulate them like that.
