    Preston Tucker. Has completely flown under the radar even though he's raked at AAA and MLB before injury and Houston' s stacked OF robbed hin of playing time. And some guy named Acuna Jr.

    Acuna to minor league camp...interesting at this point in the spring. Makes me wonder if some attitude issues have arose.

    Someone put this on one of the Braves message boards. This was essentially their statement:
    Basically, he hasn't been at any one spot long enough for a league to adjust to him. They want to see how he adjusts to the adjustment.

    But why not keep him in big league camp so he continues to see big league pitchers? He could have easily been sent down in a week and a half to accomplish the same result control wise

    No idea. Probably just so the fanbase accepts him starting in AAA now. A bunch of brave fans are wanting acuna opening day

    I mean, if he lives up to the billing, we would sign him long term anyways wouldn’t we? Then the extra year of control meant nothing. Or am I missing the point?

    If he lives up to his billing, we might not can afford him

    So looks like we’ll carry Rio Ruiz onto opening day roster, right?

    Flowers
    Markakis
    Tucker
    Swanson
    Ruiz
    Teheran

    Looks like a good lineup. Need Dansby to step it up. I believe he will

    Just read an article predicting AJ Minter to be a 25 save guy this year. Any of y’all buying this?

    He will be a great add to the bullpen. I’m counting on Folty to straighten himself out this year. 6 more days!

    No Ruiz and Swanson will be 2 black holes in the lineup. Now when Camargo and Acuna get going then we will have a good lineup.
