I see some potential, but I don't have high confidence in any of them. I was sold on Soroka from the first time I saw him pitch, I saw Fried as having potential, but he's exceeding my expectations right now.
Also, I got to spend some time with the Braves coaches this spring and they are still very high on Wilson. Who knows, we'll see. Just FYI.
I like Anderson, not like I did Soroka, but similar to how I saw Fried a few years back. I get a different feel for Wilson each time I watch him pitch.
Soroka and Fried are already stars. They've shown what they can do and (barring injury or off-field issues) will only get better. At this point nobody knows how the guys on my list will pan out. Your confidence level, and mine, are irrelevant. Frankly even the Braves' brass can't know for sure. But we shall see. I look forward to the call ups.
I give you big credit for not carrying over other debates to this thread, it speaks well for you.
Cane has paid his dues and built up a sizable bank of goodwill on the forum.
Just not enough of a starting rotation. It also seems Inciarte is a lost cause, and Riley is a black hole in the lineup. It’s time to call up Cristian Pache.
I Like I said, it's a good sign when a poster is big enough to not carry some petty beef around from thread to thread, I put a premium on that stuff.
Yes. I was also trying to call attention to the importance of paying one's dues, and the value of building up goodwill with others.
Count me out of the boys club stuff. I'll post and others can read or not, it's not complicated to me.
You don’t have to explain your M.O. Everyone remembers. I’m looking forward to the next time you tell someone to soak their head. Welcome back.
That thread has nothing to do with this one, and I enjoy having fun sometimes when I think I am very right.
I have met plenty of good people that I could go back and forth with on a subject for days, thinking they were bat-crap crazy about a particular subject, while having plenty of other good discussions on other topics in the meantime.
I feel like one point of view doesn't define a man, or at least it shouldn't. And it definitely shouldn't end ALL conversation. How would we get anywhere that way?...
And I love talking about the Braves. I got in trouble all the time for staying up past "bed-time" when I was little, adjusting the hanger shoved down in the 13" black-and-white TV in my room, trying to get Channel 17 to tune in on the UHF dial. Been hooked ever since.

I honestly don't know what you're referring to. I did post a bit here a long time ago, but you'd have to go back a long way and be into obscure recollections.
Well put. I've always thought people who hold onto small grievances are troubled in other ways.
Interesting. What you consider as su.cking up to the boys club, I consider just making an effort to get along with people.
I signed up when I did because I had things to say about coaches undermining school administrations' decisions to delay or scrap the football season. I have no control over how other posters react to my strong opinions on the subject.
Short Answer: No
Long Answer: Absolutely Not
Our young core is hit or miss and it is really frustrating. We went all out on a big name starter, big name bullpen guys, and we get little to no production from them. Ender seems to be steps behind everyone else, and we are just watching Ozuna hoping he can keep up his pace. I was very excited about this year. I no longer have that feeling.
🙄
Just curious - what happened to this other account of yours? The one you used "a long time ago?"
@Kasey
Come on.
