Is Ian Anderson still being talked about? I know he had a rough ‘22 season and then the TJ surgery but I could see a significant comeback season in 2024.
At the very least could he transform into a decent bullpen piece? Just can’t remember the last time I have heard his name mentioned.
What I think would be a significant failure would be AA looking at Fried, Strider, Morton, Wright, Elder, AJSS, etc and saying “Yeah between all these guys, we will make it work…”

He needs to develop a third pitch for me to care about him.

The org is high on fixing Cherinos, too. He had good spin or something, can't remember. Matzek will be ready for spring training..who knows how he will look, but might be a boost to the pen

Y’all are gonna have to with Anderson what I was telling y’all to do with Soroka all off-season and then Wright once we knew he had an injured shoulder. Pretend like they don’t exist. Do not expect them to throw 1 single pitch at the big league level. If they get just 1 out, they’ve exceeded expectations. Anything more is just lagniappe.
I think AA should use the same approach when it comes to building the 2024 team. Anderson, Soroka, and Matzek do not exist in a concrete way that will help build the team. They are fairytale dust. Hopefully it’s sprinkled right and 1 or more magically return to form and can be used as complimentary pieces along the way. But he absolutely cannot count on any of them. Cannot build the team with the assumption they’ll be in an Atlanta Braves uniform ever again.
AA did assemble a 104-win team that was one of the best in Braves history with an offense that was as one of the best in MLB history. So this is obviously hypercritical and only fair when taken relatively and seen through a retrospective lens. But I have thoughts on what went wrong (or what didn’t go right) and how to potentially fix or avoid them. I’ll save em for another post since this one is already typical Hot Carl and way too long; didn’t read. I can’t even use the fricking abbreviation.

He walks way too many guys to be a reliable bullpen option.
