Allard/Wright/Riley/Pache

Maybe enough for deGrom, not for Thor

I think I'd rather have DeGrom. Of course I would be happy with either

I would not do that

I would not do that

Parting with Wright would make me hesitant for sure

Yeah especially because he is the perfect Ender replacement after 2021.

 

[LotteryPick]

Wish we would have drafted Jo Adell 😦

Dude is ripping up the minors

 

[LotteryPick]

Wright and Pache would give me pause

Same

If it clicks for both of those guys, they’re fantastic players

 

[cncchris33]

They maaayyyybbbbeeee might trade Andujar and that might give them an edge

That was the one I had in mind that they might move, too.

Hopefully before.

Wait, how did I miss Snit saying he was going to bat Acuna 6th or 7th? Lol what that hell.

Why not? It adds some depth and keeps the pressure off him.

Because he’s definitely a better hitter than Inciarte at a minimum and shouldn’t get less ABs

Iirc, he said he is committed to keeping Ender and Albies at 1 and 2 if he can.

 

[BigOrange15]

What about batting him 3rd and moving Freeman and Markakis to 4 and 5?

Whatever doesn’t have Inciarte batting 1st

 

[GAVol]

In the long term I have no doubt that you're right. I just don't see the problem with giving him some ABs to get going again.

 

[AV_12]

We literally were rolling with Ender 9th and Ozzie and Acuna at the top. All it took was one or two games of no production and Snit scrapped it. ( mostly because it wasn’t his idea). It’s still our most optimal lineup, and there isn’t a better spot for Ronald than in front of freeman.

 

[AV_12]

Watch Ender not play tomorrow, and Snit still bat Acuna 7th without Culberson/Santana in the 2 hole.Hell probably Bourjos if he doesn’t want to put Acuna in center.

Danny 2 hole can play CF

Heat index is 97 ... it’s 11.17 pm ... wtf

 

[BigOrange15]

What do I do with all this talent:

The Braves have a real logjam in the minors, and its becoming a problem - Talking Chop

I dont like this lineup tonight. Acuna needs to hit up top where he will see a lot of fastballs

It is what it is. Let’s hope he gets hot and gives them a spark.
