These stats don't include today's' games, just for the record. Davidson is up to .253.

Phenomenal stuff from Wisler lately.

You're right. My bad

[msstate7]

Maybin with 16 rbi's in May. He had 15 all last season. Maybin is really playing well

You're right. My bad

Don't ever do it again.

Looks like his line is now .248/.389/.369. Pretty good for an 18-year-old kid, especially his walk rate. If the power comes a little more, and it should, then this is exactly what you want from him. Especially after a rough start to the year.

He's so young that I can't say for certain, but he seems to have trade written all over him with Peterson, Simmons, and peraza (may be cf though)

@mlbbowman
This is Jace Peterson's first multi-hit game since May 21, but he now has nine dating back to May 4. #Braves

@mlbbowman
Perez has retired 11 of the 13 batters he's faced since allowing three of the first six batters he faced to reach safely.

Sorry, that line was Davidson's. Albies is hitting .290 with a .361 OBP. I do NOT want to trade Albies. At all. He has the most potential of that group, by far.

If anyone you trade Peterson, who's been decent but nothing more. You don't trade away your future stud because your super utility player is blocking him.

I knew the line was Davidson, but was thinking albies for some reason.

About Peterson... He's a rookie, so I wouldn't say he's peaked. We must think he's a little better than decent to be experimenting with a position change with our best prospect

[smootness]

I know Peterson is a rookie, but his ceiling isn't much higher than what he's doing now. Albies is just a far better prospect.

I don't like the move of Peraza to CF, either. I'd rather us try to shift Peterson out there than mess with Peraza.

Think it may have as much to do with defense as it does with Peterson to tell the truth. Pretty sure I read peraza has 9 errors already this year

I'm not too worried with the errors. Simmons had something like 28 the year before he was called up.

It is interesting, though. Peraza was supposed to be the better player defensively of the two (both were projected a little above-average) but Peterson has far exceeded expectations there. If he can keep providing that defense and getting on base, then he has value. I just worry that he may not ultimately hit enough, and he doesn't have any power right now.

If Peraza can play CF well, then great, though that would then block Mallex Smith.

Ideally, if everyone hit their ceiling, I would want Peraza at second, Mallex in center, and Peterson playing the super ultility role. But I'm not opposed to a trade, we just need to be careful and be certain before we make a move that we're not giving up the better player, no matter who it is.

[msstate7]

Williams Perez since he started starting...

Vs TB...
5.0 ip 7 k 1 er 1 bb 7 h

Vs LAD...
6.0 ip 7 k 1 er 1 bb 6 h

Vs SF...
7.0 ip 3 k 0 er 4 bb 4 h

Totals...
18.0 ip 17 k 2 er 6 bb 17 h

That's a cool 1.00 era vs 2 second place teams and a first place team.

Keep sleeping on my boy, Perez

Saw Mallex last night in pearl. He is lightning fast, but jeez he's swings and misses a ton. He k'd twice, but that doesn't tell the whole story. He missed a lot... Not many foul offs, just plain misses. He needs to fix that. He did get the GW rbi on a hit although it was a gift... Shoulda been a FC rbi.

[smootness]

Haha I like Williams, he battles and has a bit of attitude. I just don't expect him to stick long-term. But by all means, I hope he keeps this up and proves me wrong.

[smootness]

I'm pretty sure you just caught Mallex on a bad night. People questioned his bat, but he's hit at every level, his K rate isn't anything bad, and he always walks a lot.

So far he's showing himself to be the perfect lead off hitter.
