The Atlanta Braves Thread

[Volfan1000]

We’ve just watched so many pitching prospects falter the last 6-7 years and they’re like “WE ARE SO SMART WE CAN REPLACE HIM” meanwhile they keep begging Chuck to play one more year because they suck at developing pitching

I would try to hire the top pitching coach/evaluator from the Tampa Bay franchise this off season because they are the best at developing pitchers.

Yea, we need to earmark that money for dawg

For who!????

 

[AV_12]

He’s 30. He’s already had Tommy John and he’s never thrown more than 185 innings. I still don’t like 5/130M for that.

Where are you getting these numbers?

 

[mr.checkerboards]

We had a pitcher hit today

I agree with you

But it would be more than 5/130

And he’ll be 31 in January. That’s the # for FA

Not trolling, what’s the plan to replace him, Charlie probably and ease Strider back in when ready? We don’t have a prospect that looks like they can fill a key spot yet. That’s my issue with it, and those one year deals they like are hit and miss, we need long term solutions

I’m just not trying to see Bryce Elder and some bargain bin Free agent for 50 starts next year

I gave up on assuming there was a replacement plan when we trotted orlando arcia out there every day. There is no plan. Just cost control.

They got caught with their pants down on that one when Vaughn Grissom came back to spring training last year and was still a complete stiff defensively. Might as well let the pitcher bat 9th.

I get it. But they’ll do a little better than bargain bin with Fried and Morton’s money.

Exactly. Rondon got 6/ $162 mil, was also 30 and had pitched a max of 178 innings (and only twice over 160).
