Fastball looks good. He needs to get that curve down, though.

Are you listening on TuneIn? That’s the only way, isn’t it?

Teheran opening day starter

Camargo back injury is really oblique, and could take longer than opening day per rotoworld

I’m ready to shop Markakis. But I doubt whoever we replace him with would be any better. Maybe we’re saving that spot for Bryce Harper!

We?ll find out soon enough.
Also, I saw we signed Anibal Sanchez. That would?ve been a good sign about 5 years ago, but he?s kind of washed up now, isn?t he?

Minor league deal. He's worth a flyer. I've always like him for no good reason. I could see him being an emergency spot starter/long relief type at this point.

I like him too. But he would’ve been the ace 5 years ago

Like WMD said, I would like seeing him in the bullpen or something.. Who knows, he might do really good this year. I hope so.

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 will be in LF

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:

Quote:

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.

Acuna will be up less than a month into the season. Strictly keeping control of him

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

Now if acuna scuffles a little or tucker is killing it could change things

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

That would be my guess

Inciarte
Albies
FF
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.
