The ATL Thread 7/26: Swanson optioned to Gwinnett

Definitely the right move. Camargo's walk rate and BABIP don't paint a pretty picture for his future abilities but I'm fine seeing what they have there. Let Swanson figure things out in a more stress free environment and then at some point bring up Dansby and Ozzie together here in the next month or so.

Probably shouldn't have even made the west coast road trip after Snit basically said he was benched, also kind of weird that he gets sent down right after he actually has a multi-hit game. He definitely needs the everyday reps though, hopefully he gets back on track.

After he goes 2-4 today. Front office has horribly mismanaged this situation. They rushed him up last year, promoted him like crazy in the offseason, essentially benched him when Camargo got on an unsustainable hot streak, refused to send him down for weeks, and are now sending him down after he has an encouraging game.

Needs to spend about 58-59 days off the 25 man roster for the Braves to gain another year of control. That doesn't look possible unless he isn't recalled at all.
This has not been handled well at all.
I like Camargo but he is clearly playing at an unsustainable level. This is the danger of going with a manager on a one year deal.

Another roster question: What do we do with the 5th spot in the rotation assuming we don't make a trade before the deadline? Do they just throw Blair out there for a while? He was terrible last year and hasn't really done anything impressive in Gwinnett this year. I wouldn't mind going ahead and adding Lucas Sims to the 40-man and seeing what he can do, shouldn't be worse than what we'd get with Blair or Wisler.

Casual Braves fans love Snitker because the team is happy and has played over their heads under him but I seriously hope he isn't back next year. He constantly mismanages the bullpen (somehow Jim Johnson is still closing), refuses to make late inning substitutions for Kemp (even though this would help defense and give Kemp the rest he needs), and has miserably mishandled the Swanson/Camargo situation. Get us another manager who makes players feel warm and fuzzy inside who actually knows what the hell he is doing.

Sims is expected to start Tuesday according to Bowman.

First MLB start will be against the Dodgers...good luck with that, kid.
re: The ATL Thread 7/26: Swanson optioned to GwinnettPosted by TearsofKnowshon on 7/26/17 at 9:42 pm to volfan30
Snitker should be fired for falling for Camargo's initial hot streak (shocker he's coming back down to earth) and benching Dansby. No telling what he's done to Dansby's confidence. Unacceptable after how much the team pimped him to the fan base this offseason.

I've gone from being pretty indifferent on Snit getting the job to there being a 73% chance I'll porn-bomb every board if he gets an extension.

Braves have now optioned Blair to Gwinnett.
re: The ATL Thread 7/26: Swanson optioned to GwinnettPosted by K9 on 7/26/17 at 9:58 pm to SumterCoDawg
I have a hard time believing Snit was the only person making the calls with Dansby's playing time.
re: The ATL Thread 7/26: Swanson optioned to GwinnettPosted by SumterCoDawg on 7/26/17 at 10:03 pm to K9
I'd like to think that Coppy or Hart wouldn't be on board with only playing their young top prospect twice a week.

Then the entire FO should be fired for jeopardizing our future SS's chances for an unsustainable hot streak from a future utility player. This entire situation and many other of their choices (Acuna's rapid promotion) are very concerning and unnecessary. The Braves aren't winning shite this year or next year. They should be patient and let the talent they signed/drafted/traded for develop organically and they refuse to do that.

This. Exactly this.
re: The ATL Thread 7/26: Swanson optioned to GwinnettPosted by SwampDonks on 7/26/17 at 10:16 pm to TearsofKnowshon
How have they jeopardized Dansby's chances? Is he so mentally weak that getting sent down for poor play is going to ruin him forever?
re: The ATL Thread 7/26: Swanson optioned to GwinnettPosted by AUCE05 on 7/26/17 at 10:21 pm to SwampDonks
No. It is very typical for a player to have 2-3 call ups before they make it. Aaron Judge was terrible last year. Hell, Mickie Mantle almost quit.
re: The ATL Thread 7/26: Swanson optioned to GwinnettPosted by volfan30 on 7/26/17 at 10:24 pm to SwampDonks
What was the purpose of keeping him in the big leagues the last 3 weeks?
Why play Camargo over him? Let Camargo get ABs instead of Adams/BP/SRod.
