I think he was a FA after last season. Not sure if he got a qualifying offer or not. If he did, that explains why no one wanted to sign him and also give up draft picks.

He was only slightly less awful the year before.

At 37, I think that goose is cooked.

At least with AGON (who I didn't even want) had an injury to deal with. Bautista was just bad.

Here is his bomb from last night. I swear every one of his hits sound like this.
Call him up, gdi. - ( New Window )

you finally found a rookie on your team who is actually good... unlike your NBA team :)

You guys would love Kuzma on your team!

that Acuna and Soroka will be up soon.

Ozzie Albies is flying under the radar but he is already a fantastic player at 2B. He has never faced a pitcher younger than him in his entire minor league and major league career.

The Braves have placed Jose Ramirez on the DL. They called up former Phillies top prospect Jesse Biddle to replace him in the bullpen. Biddle should have begun the season in the BP and he will likely become a fixture in the Braves bullpen.

Going to miss his almost freakin' 20.0 ERA.

Ramirez's peripherals were bad last season despite his low 3.19 ERA. A 4.88 FIP with a 4.2 BB/9 and 8.1 K/9 and 1.3 HR/9. The Braves have some very good LHP's in the bullpen now with Minter, Biddle, and Freeman.

Albies, Swanson, Minter, and Newcomb are in Atlanta playing very well. SP's Mike Soroka and Luiz Gohara will be up soon plus Allard and Wright could be up if needed during the 2nd half. With the success that the Mets have had with Gsellman in the bullpen I would love to see Gohara spend some time there. He would thrive with his high 90's fastball and great curveball.

3B Austin Riley is continuing to rake in AA .333/.391/.643 and he will be in AAA shortly. He will be a September call-up with a chance to be in Atlanta after the break.

This kid is going to slide right into the rotation when he comes back right? Especially with Sanchez getting injured today.

Gohara will be in the rotation once he is ready. Probably 2-3 weeks away as his 1st rehab start was last night. In the mean time Fried and possibly Soroka will start in place of Sanchez.
