Jackson has had rough luck in back to back blown saves. He's had a nice year so far but Snit needs to manage the pen like we have no closer.
So when Ender comes back assume he goes to bench and you stay with the Austin Riley in OF experiment??? He seems to be playing at a very high level and not sure how you can sit him unless he starts to struggle. And Ender wasn't really having a great year anyway at the plate.
Can Braves acquire other help after the Swarzak trade? Not sure he is the answer.
I am of the opinion that the Braves are a strong contender for Kimbrel, after the draft. Obviously, losing a draft pick, and more importantly for the Braves, losing the signing bonus pool money, is what is keeping the Braves, and other teams, from going after Kimbrel now. The question is how high the bidding is going to go for Kimbrel and will the Braves be willing to spend the money.
Another HR today and the game winning RBI in the 13th. Kid is off to an amazing start.Riley in his first 29 ABs: .367, 1.206 OPS, 4 HR. Incredible.

Draft pick loss is off the table soon right?
