I think it will be tough for him to hold off wisler, fried, and maybe Jenkins next year, but I like him a lot. If nothing else, I see him as a nice reliever or trade piece. Who knows we may end up trading Teheran if he doesn't right the ship to open another starting spotQuote:

Talking about albies being young at 18 reminded me of andruw (my favorite brave ever) hitting a hr at 19 vs the Yankees. Wonder if albies can be that type of prodigy and make the show before age 20
We'll see, he'll have a chance to advance quickly next year.Quote:

Peterson with single, double, and triple. Won't develop into a hr hitter, but I can certainly see a lot of doubles in his future
That would be awesome.Quote:

With bumgarner pitching tomorrow, I'd sit ff tomorrow. He's really struggling. Start CJ at 1st. CJ hits lefties well and uribe's swing looked great tonight
You guys can rip me all you want, but Teheran is done. I'd trade him asap before he absolutely worthless.
1st time thru Giants' lineup for Teheran...
2 bb 2 hr's (another 1 was just foul and belt hit 1 foul before hitting 1 fair)
His velocity is down.
May be time to panic

Braves may have accidentally included Teheran's velocity in a trade last offseason.
Aaron Smith @A_A_ron_Smith
@DOBrienAJC I'm thinking he has Tommy John in his near future. Hate to say it. But it has all the symptoms.
Teheran's drop in velocity has coincided with the game he tweaked his knee on the mound. He's hurt. This isn't an arm issue. He's lost velocity because he can't drive off his legs right now. It's time to DL him and get an MRI of that knee.
It's not an arm problem. He's not dropping his arm slot to compensate if it is. I could always tell when Smoltz was hurting because he would drop his arm slot to take the pressure off his arm. This is his knee. Julio can deny it all he wants, but that knee is effecting him. He needs to get an MRI to see if there is a meniscus tear, and if their is, get it fixed and sit out for the next 4 weeks. Bring up Manny Banuelos or Matt Wisler.Quote:

Teheran seems to be getting control of this game. Lord please let Teheran get this figured out. For us to be the team I want us to be in the future, Teheran needs to at least a solid 3
Teheran just threw a 92 mph fastball in 5th.
Way to shut me up, Teheran. I'm still concerned with his velocity, but he certainly turned it up a notch after giving up the 2 hr's. 4 bb and 1 k aren't ideal, but this has certainly been a good start. My apologies, mr Teheran
