I bet he's got tattoos that are 20 years old.

Apparently he was 6'3 220 as a 16 year old.

Rosenthal's story:

Two scouts texted me Wednesday — unsolicited — after the Mariners traded one of their top pitching prospects, left-hander Luiz Gohara, to the Braves.

“Giving up Gohara, worst move EVER!!” the first scout said.

“Best pitcher in the Arizona Fall League,” the second scout said, adding that he saw Gohara throw 97 to 100 mph in an outing late in the AFL season.

Hate giving up Mallex. But that's personal preference. Seems like Gohara is a big get.

Former Braves prospect Andy Marte killed in a car accident in the Dominican Republic.

Braves put 9 prospects in MLB's top 110: Acuna, Fried, Anderson, Newcomb, Soroka, Allard, Maitan, Albies, and Swanson.

Kris Medlen agrees to a minor league deal with the Braves. I'd love to see him make an impact.

Sean Rodriguez out 3-5 months. Trade with Reds for Brandon Phillips almost complete.

Hearing the Rodriguez injury is even worse than 3-5 months.

 

[Say Hey Deac]

Well that sucks.

should we create a new thread for the new season? 2016 is in the rearview mirror now, folks. 2017 should be a lot of fun, whether that is playoffs or just seeing a lot of the young prospects.

DatDude!

It was tough watching him get old and refuse to take a backup role. Would have loved to see him on our bench working with the young guys, but his ego is just too big.

 

[Say Hey Deac]

El Chupe is all about stacking the Braves with brothers, especially during Black History Month.

Yes. It's about that time for the 2017 season thread.

New season starts shortly when pitchers and catchers report to spring training. IMHO, that is the start time for a new thread. This is just finishing up the hot stove league.
