#Braves have promoted RHP Tyrell Jenkins to Triple-A Gwinnett. Jenkins posted a 3.00 ERA in 16 starts at Double-A Mississippi.
 
They've been very aggressive with Jenkins this season. I thought he'd start the year in Carolina and finish in AA if he pitched well enough. Looks like I'm a step behind. Like what was said above, his K/BB hasn't been sterling, but I don't know what he's working on and we'll just have to see how he does in Gwinnett. They obviously love his arm.

I can see why they like him a lot, not sure I'd promote him to AAA this fast personally but I like him too.

His K rate and BB have been putrid. 5.7 K/9 isnt good for the minors and 4.0 BB/9 is horrible. It's not a confidence booster. If it continues we better ship him off on his talent or ERA.

He is overrated. Sell high.

He may be overrated by the Braves that are very high on him. But what makes you think his trade value is all that high? Further, I'd argue that Folty is a lot more overrated and he probably still has more trade value too. So I'd sell high on him instead.

That is true, but he's always had a low K and high walk for a power arm. I'm concerned his mechanics may not be repeatable. Note. I haven't seen him pitch, just using stats.
