I think Johan Camargo gets the 3rd base job and Austin Riley gets sent down to Gwinnett. If Austin Riley is in Gwinnett most of the season i could see him as part of a trade later on in the season.Camargo or Riley possibly could be sent down, and not given a super-sub. job on the roster. According to MLBTR comes this:
Johan Camargo and Austin Riley are competing for not only the Braves’ starting third base job, but also potentially a spot on the 26-man roster altogether. Manager Brian Snitker told reporters (including The Athletic’s David O’Brien) that he feels both Camargo and Riley are best served by everyday playing time, rather than splitting third base in a platoon or one player working in a backup role. Sending one of the duo down to Triple-A is “not out of the question,” Snitker said. “They’ve got (minor-league) options, and if long term, for the health of our ballclub that’s (what) we see fit, that could happen.”
It's great news that Freddy will be playing again
I have a feeling Cole Hamels will be a waste and will be on the injured list on and off all season. He sounds like a washed up has been to me at this point. King Felix has impressed me though.Per MLBTR:
It has now been nearly three weeks since news emerged that Braves starter Cole Hamels wouldn’t be ready to report to Spring Training on time due to some shoulder irritation. There’s still no timeline in place for him to get back to action, manager Brian Snitker said today, as David O’Brien of The Athletic reports (Twitter links).
Heard Gabe Burns of the AJC say if the season started today, King Felix would be in the rotation.
Yes, his breaking ball has been the difference, even though it’s ST still.I have a feeling Cole Hamels will be a waste and will be on the injured list on and off all season. He sounds like a washed up has been to me at this point. King Felix has impressed me though.
Wake me up, when he has a clean inning(he did it once last year, and I had already taken my two headache powders when he was warming up, lol)...
