K26dp Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 One of the spots may be reserved for Toussaint. He should be coming off the 60-day IL soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUTiger7222 Posted July 13, 2021 Author Share Posted July 13, 2021 At what point do we make a decision about Bryse Wilson and Kyle Wright? I would think we've got to be getting close to that point, especially with a new influx of pitchers who shouldn't take long to start knocking on the door.

Imo they should both be brought up and give a couple starts before the deadline and hope they either up their trade value or are guys to use moving forward. Especially if Anderson goes on IL.

I doubt 2 or 3 starts are gonna do much to their value at this point. I still like Wilson’s potential as a bullpen arm. He’s a 2 pitch pitcher and it’s hard to make it as a starter that way but that’s all you need in the bullpen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He threw 81 pitches last time out, so unless something bad happens I expect this to be his last rehab outing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think it’s time for them to **** or get off the pot. They’ve been at Gwinnett forever (in baseball years) and well, they can’t stay there forever.

They should be given 20-30 starts there in 1 season instead of this jumping up and down. I'm not an expert on player development but constant jumping up and down can't be good for their confidence and development. K26dp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think it would hurt their development if they’re told that they would be making spot starts in MLB. I think it would help them. They make the spot start and then can go back to the minors and work on what went wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K26dp Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Muller and Wilson piggybacked tonight's Gwinnett game in Charlotte. Muller went 4 scoreless innings, Wilson went 5 scoreless. Guessing one will pitch on Monday, the other on Tuesday. AUTiger7222 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson has had his "struggles" in the majors, but I feel like he is right there. It's not like with Wright where you feel defeated before the game even starts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jidady Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 It's literally now or never for both of them, at least with the Braves. We need somebody to step up. Otherwise, we're picking in the top 10 of next year's draft. AUTiger7222 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
