Originally posted by harmon View PostEverything I've read and heard points to Acuna batting cleanup to start the year with Ender leading off. Like last year, when things go stale Acuna will likely go back to leadoff. I'd expect him to see at least a third of his time at leadoff even if he starts the year at cleanup.
And Mike, what am I missing when I want Albies to give up switch-hitting? I know he is young, but the results---and just watching it---shows how much better his swing is right-handed. And, if I recall correctly, his minor-league stats had the same problem. Yes, if he gets low and in when batting lefty, he can drop the bathead on it and hit HR's, but once the league adjusted, he just had all kinds of problems because he can't hit a high fastball left-handed.

Looks like the Braves are going into the season with Kyle Wright as the #4 starter, and Bryse Wilson as the #5...what are the chances that they stick in the rotation for the duration of the season? Folty has an elbow injury and isn't expected back until later in April...although he did throw off a mound recently."Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."

Combination of news and rant.
Arodys Vizcaino is done for the year with shoulder surgery. With Kimbrel "getting closer to a decision" I would guess ATL is the spot. Weird that his agent also represents Albies (who just signed an incredibly team friendly deal). Probably a coincidence.
Oh, that's not the rant. The Braves said earlier in the week that Mike Soroka was "unlikely" to make a spot start.
So I benched him and put Corbin F'ing Burnes into my lineup.
Oh, guess who's starting today for the Braves? Here's a hint. Rhymes with Poroka.

Originally posted by revo View PostHe had a 2.85 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 202 Ks last year. He did have a late spring elbow injury, which is never good, but even he was downplaying it as late as mid-March. I guess there was some risk to keeping him, but based off his stats and news on his injury at keeper time, seems legit.---------------------------------------------

yeah, there was.
I'm just ruthless with injured pitchers - especially elbows and shoulders. if you believe THAT much, then buying at, say, 19-S2 beats keeping at 16-S1, imofinished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5
