We had so much trade value in our organization a few years ago. Toussaint and Newcomb have squandered all of theirs.

Folty will be out of the league in two years if this velocity thing is really a long term issue. We need Wright and Anderson to pan out in the worst way.

ETA: Wilson's trade value is gone as well. I forgot about him.

It blows my mind how AA will go and spend money on relievers but won't sign a big time TOR starter.

Instead, we go with a 1 year deal for guys we hope eat innings and stuff like that. You don't win like that.

The pieces are there for this team to win a WS. It's time to part with some prospects and get an Ace to pair with Soroka to put this team over the top. I can't stand watching us trot Folty/Newk out there anymore.

They’ll have no problem making a trade in all likelihood.

Simply dogshit with no velo.

Terrible stuff to go with his awful makeup makes this easier than it would be when he was flicking it up there 98.

Snit on Folty's velo: "it's just not happening for whatever reason. We're not in a position right now, in this shortened season, to wait for something to happen. He says he feels good. I really don't know" #Braves


Snit is done with the excuses

Surprising but probably the right move.

I just get frustrated when the org/AA bank on some young and relatively unproven guy continuing early success and use that as an excuse not to improve the team.

I know they don't *really* assume that the success will continue, but they certainly try and pacify the fan base by feeding us that shite.

I mean, they went and got Hamels and Felix this offseason, kind of bad luck that it appears neither of those will ever pitch for us.


I think Anderson and Davidson need a shot. You put them in the player pool for a reason, why not trot them out for a spot start?

Also, I know strikeouts aren't that big of a deal anymore, but fanning 52 times through 4 games is worrisome.

Freddie is really the only one who is showing any patience.
