So should the Braves pick up Matt Harvey on the cheap and see if they can get anything out of him?:cigar:
After the 10 days and then clearing all the AL teams followed by most of the NL until we come up....I’d claim him if he will agree to AAA Gwinnett, to get straightened out.
I don’t think any teams will claim during the waiver period and pick up that contract.

What do you think of him?

I think the Braves might be able to get something out of him however i don't think he's close to what he was when he was in his prime with the Mets:cigar:

I'll begin by eating crow ... big props to Kevin Gausman, he pitched a great game and don't forget about Julio Tehren, whom I criticize regularly, awesome outing by both these guys !!
We should be feeling pretty good with the weekend split, the Nats came in red-hot and we weren't playing well and had patchwork starting pitching.
Fred, the Nats won't be easily outdone, they have a strong line-up and good pitching, they also seem like a good bunch of guys, Rendon seems like a guy with a permanent smile on his face.
Finally, I think the Braves stood up to the challenge quite well and this series should be a big confidence boost going forward ... though we still need help with our starting pitching rotation !!

Agreed. Harvey might be worse off than Folty.

Here’s a guy that is in demand, although even the Phillies might ask for plenty of cash to come with him from the Snakes of ‘Zona:

The Braves would want a large portion of the next 2 1/2 years included in a trade.
Yeah it probably would be better to try to rehabilitate Mike Foltynewicz:cigar: I will dance in my street if the Braves trade for Zack Grienke:cool::D:LOL:

With the pitchers the Braves will be facing in their series with the Phillies in Philadelphia coming up i think the Braves will sweep that series and be 65-41 going into the series in Washington against the Nationals.:)
