Could be Wang until then.


Could be, hoping for Cody Martin though.

Does anyone think Terdoslavich makes the bench this year? He's been better in the field this spring than I remember him. I've also seen him at first I believe.


He's not a good platoon match with Gomes but he's the only other outfield candidate that's hitting. So I think he makes the bench and hopefully he platoons with Gomes.

Gomes has been horrid at the plate the few games I've seen. CJ as well. Bethancourt has looked good at the plate which was a nice surprise.

Not much to like about this team imo. I'm sure by OD I'll be more excited but I'm dreading watching this offense 162 times.



I dreaded to watch our offense for most of last year, I can't even imagine how bad it is going to be this year.

You're right on all accounts, but you can't really take a whole lot from that. He just needs to hit RHP.

Here's a link to our ST stats if anyone is interested:

Sporting News just ranked every manager in MLB. Guess where Fredi landed?

I think somewhere in the 70-75 range is fair

Braves released James Russell. LINK


quote:

Russell had a 10.57 ERA in spring training, giving up 10 runs — nine earned — 10 hits and three homers in 7 2-3 innings. Luis Avilan, coming off a disappointing season, appears likely to claim one of the left-handed spots in the bullpen. Twenty-four-year-old Brady Fiegl also has impressed, though he hasn't pitched above Class A.

I agree, I like us around 75. It kinda sucks to admit but after the last 3-5 years I'm looking forward to this season more because there are no playoff expectations.

So what are we looking at?

C Bethancourt
1B Freeman
2B Peterson
3B CJ
SS Simmons
OF Gomes
OF EYjr
OF Markakis

BE AJ Pierzinski
BE Callaspo
BE Kelly Johnson
BE Gosselin
BE ?????

Looking at an OF so options are Almonte, Terdo, Cunningham, Perez

SP Wood
SP Teheran
SP Millee
SP Wandy
SP ?????

RP Kimbrel
RP Johnson
RP Grilli
RP Avilan
RP ?????
RP ?????
RP ?????

I'm sure Martin will either be #5 starter or bullpen. The rest, who fricking knows.

No chance. Jace Peterson and Collaspo are way ahead. KJ is a bench guy

5th SP should be Cody Martin. Might be stults, the loser will go to the pen.

Jamie, Stults/Martin, Fiegl, and Outman I'm assuming are all leading pen candidates. I think they send Folty down.

The last bench spot will probably have to go to someone that can play CF. I'd rather lose Gosselin and have Terdo and then have a guy who can play CF. Apparently Fredi likes Joe Benson a lot.

Who knows

I'm pretty excited about some Jace Peterson. Looks a great piece in that Upton deal so far.

I agree, I think he could do well for us. Whether he sticks or not will be his ability to hit gaps and stretch doubles. His speed and plate discipline is there and he makes contact but he's gotta show some more power at the plate.

Should be fun to watch.

Braves will likely put Outman on the DL now. Just claimed Andrew McKirahan from the Marlins. Another former TJ pitcher.
