@mikebrewer1982 Ahh okay. Then yeah you can burn it. I think it’s a week or two max. Just wanted to make sure you weren’t missing the opportunity for a top prospect later. If you already have access to them then the waiver claim is less valuable .. take your shots

@PepTalkFantasy If there not on the espn player pool then it goes to waivers. Most prospects are in the pool

Didier Fuentes is down getting stretched out. I like the idea of saving innings with these young guys for the end of the season but the Braves have help coming later. Let Didier cook now. I think that’s what they’re doing and they will get creative later He’s a good stash in 12-15 team leagues
Thomas Nestico@TJStats

Didier Fuentes did not skip a beat in his first start in AAA, striking out 7 in 3.2 one-hit IP The Braves top pitching prospect was unstoppable in Spring Training and is being stretched out as a starter to hopefully provide a bump to an ailing Braves rotation. He looks great!

@mikebrewer1982 Once a prospect debuts do they go to waivers? Just trying to get clarity on when you would use the waiver in your league. Just drops?

@mikebrewer1982 Ehh can you make pick-ups without using the claim or is this an: all players on waivers until Sunday type thing. Meaning I like him but Snelling is higher on my list but you may need to wait a month or so

Was just typing up a Luis Medina tweet and Cam Smith stole the show with a bomb I still think Medina has the best stuff in the Athletics bullpen. May take some time but he gets some saves this year

Baz should be out of the inning but Mayo boots a DP ball. Can’t assume a DP so it’s an earned run

@enosarris @dvond I had a good thread going in-game. They're zoning his high fastballs and he's not able to work down in the zone with anything else. The sweeper didn't appear to off-set their vision either. Gleyber was looking up and was able to put a good swing on the sweeper

@dvond In fantasy no real reason to hold unless it’s a really deep league. I think he could still find something, still has good velo and a wide mix, but obviously something is wrong

@enosarris His at bats are better. He's in better positions to see the ball and making in at-bat adjustments. Something I haven't seen from him

@FAmmiranteTFJ Pinch hit for the the 4th because they brought in a LHP was frustrating to see. It's early enough, let him see one. Vierling drove in the run but man, let Keith start to grow when you can

Colt Keith continues to hit the ball hard. Came into today's action with a 12.5% barrel rate. Bat speed has gone from 70.7 MPH to 73.6 MPH. Two 100+ MPH batted ball events today:

@Vishal70191934 No necessarily but I would be aggressive looking for matchups. For example, snagging Stanton or Grisham in good weeks while at home. Games at coors etc . When you ask questions like this, the answer is probably stream, if the rules allow it

Jordan Walker x.com/MLB/status/204… The at-bats have been better. The previous at-bat he fell behind 0-2. Was late on 4s and I could tell he was frustrated with that mistake. He then worked the count to 2-2 and hit the ball hard. Huge win.. Then next AB smashes this. Not all Wins are hits, for the brain.
