Neither have been to AAA at all. Crazy how we keep finding these kids to come in and produce as quickly as they do.

They need to get him trained up to be a LF. We would be set for years.

Grissom
Harris
Acuna

Riley
Swanson, or FA
Ozzie
Olsen

Contreras

I think it's safe to say that is what will happen in spring training next season unless we don't re-sign Dansby or another SS.

I hope we don't bank on him being a SS because his range is not where Dansby's is and it would be unfair to Grissom to have him replace Dansby and expect him to be just as good defensively.

Yeah, he's a plenty serviceable SS, with the potential to be a well above average 2B if the Braves had an opening there, long term. But since they don't, I also fully expect him to end up in left field. If Dansby isn't re-signed, I just don't see the Braves plugging Grissom in to take his place at SS without first trying really hard to acquire someone else to play there. As we know, the Braves have a long history of not settling for serviceable at that position, defensively.

Good to hear that news about Soroka. Even if it ends up just being work towards being 100% next year love it for him that he is getting back on the mound for live pitching.

TDA back in the lineup tonight per Snit. Hopefully Ozuna will be on the bench

Snit said Max will be back towards the end of the week. Hopefully that means before the Mets series ends.

Would definitely be nice to not have to trot out a scrub against deGrom in game 4

Carrasco v Strider

Hopefully Strider can make the adjustment and bounce back from his last outing versus the Mets. I think he will.

Walker v Morton

Probably shouldn't expect Walker to repeat his poor performance against the Mets. With Morton at this point you kind of know what you are going to get. It isn't dominant but he's finding a way to give mostly quality starts

Scherzer v Odorizzi

Pray

deGrom v TBA

Really hope this is Fried for the Braves and he brings his World Series Game 6 bitch just stepped on my ankle stuff.

This is actually the one game I’d be okay trotting a scrub out for.
