Official Spring Training Thread

[UNCBlue012]

The #Braves today signed RHP Jesse Chavez to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training. Atlanta now has 29 players in camp.

why are they inviting him to spring with like 2 games left. I guess old habits are hard to break.

This Chavez thing feels like a running joke Anthopolous keeps telling because he knows that, if you keep doing it, it’ll eventually become funny again.

Can't wait for Chavez to dominate fools again

Chavez was arguably our best reliever until he got injured last year. Even if you account for some luck, he was still very good for us. Good K rates. Doesn't walk many batters. Seems to have a rubber arm. And is well liked in the clubhouse.

I'm not sure why anyone would have an issue with this move.

We are whole.

It probably has more to do with the fact that he's been really good for Atlanta. It's odd they keep dropping him just to re-sign or acquire him, but the numbers are fairly strong.

There’s no way there is room in the big league bullpen for him, so I’m curious how they decide to roster him.

I would put Chavez on the roster over Stevenson

I don't actually think the Braves front office is doing an SNL bit.

Can the season hurry up and start? Going to be a 6 month waiting room until the real fun begins.

I can’t believe Alex actually did it again- I was kidding yesterday …. But now our team is complete.

Sale looks ready

Sale looks ready

Our 4 man rotation has some insane upside potential.

 

[Hulavol]

Our fifth man does too now that we have Jesse to come in and eat all the middle innings up !

 

[Enscheff]

Man Sale was filth today.

I think we can all imagine what this rotation is capable of in October, and it will be awesome to watch.
