Any updates on who is in on Rusney Castillo after his workout?

Everyone it seems like. They said 100 officials from all around baseball attended the showcase.

What I read said his arm looked average and his speed was plus plus. His power was better than expected. But the funny thing was he had handlers and was a bit of a diva. Changed shirts and shoes after each drill. Was thinking we may start hearing some news on which teams are seriously pursuing him by end of the week. Not sure.

[Unknøwn 10,897]

Red Sox, Yankees, Phillies and Orioles have scheduled private workouts. Other teams, including the Braves, are pondering private workouts.

Uggla's already been benched for a guy name Panik... lmao

[Jimsmusic™ 1,812]

This is awesome, especially that face.

[Unknøwn 10,897]

From MLB's stat of the day

Craig Kimbrel has 18 saves that have seen him work exactly 1 inning, face exactly 3 batters and record exactly 3 Ks. Those 18 are most ever.

Saw this on another forum...

[Falconsfan567 35,212]

Yeah. Saw that last year. Really cool.

[DirtybyrdGA 1,047]

It's that old? lol

Braves release Luis Vasquez to clear space after the trade

[K26dp 4,663]

Bowman says likely Shreve to AAA and Schafer DFA.

[Unknøwn 10,897]

Schafer has been DFA. We now wait and see if another team claims him if not he could be sent to Gwinnett but word is the Braves will just release him if no other team bites

[Unknøwn 10,897]

Twins have claimed Jordan Schafer

[Dawggone 1,544]

No strikeouts for BJ tonight!

[Falconsfan567 35,212]

Braves didn't lose tonight either.

[Dawggone 1,544]

No HRs by Minor

[Unknøwn 10,897]

Espn has picked up the Braves next two Sunday games. This coming Sunday against the Nats and the following Sunday against the A's. Both series are in Atlanta.

JHey is third in the NL in WAR. FWIW

"Can't use WAR. WAR sucks. What's Heyward's batting average? How many homeruns does Heyward have?"

[Dharma Initiative 6,386]

That's a good case showing that WAR isn't as important as people make it out to be

[Dawggone 1,544]

I will tell u his offensive WAR isn't great. But defensively he is elite. He is a top 10, maybe top 5 defensive player in the game right now.

I would gladly trade a little defense for some offense on this team. Maybe we could score more than 1-2 runs a game

I'm not the biggest JHey guy. However he isn't the biggest issue we have. I do wish he'd find where he left his power bat.
