I'd tell Big Joe to come into camp with the mindset he's a starter. If he's s*** he can move back to the bullpen. After Bollsingner I'm not sure there is anyone that should be counted on for anything yet.
Plus it would be awesome to turn a rule 5 pick into a back end starter.
f***in rights, this is exactly how I feel.
But Trevor Bauer is favorite of some around here and good for the game because he battles casuals on Twitter.
I like both of these signings from a Braves perspective. Moving into a new park they need to not be the worst team in the league. Colon and Dickey should be able to soak up some innings for them so there's no need to rush their pitching prospects and allows them more time for evaluation.
Wanting to test the Joey Votto market. Looking for at least one promising young hitter +. This does not mean he will be gone this week, just wanting to gauge value and interested parties for the offseason.
That'll probably work out nicely for both ends. Braves get an innings eater and RA stays in the bigs. I wonder what the park effects of that new stadium will look like.
