He keeps that up it's gonna make for an interesting decision.

Barring injury, there's a zero percent chance Pache makes the opening day roster.

In a perfect world, we ship off Inciarte in a package for a stud starting pitcher before July and Pache takes over in center field.

Oh, I have no doubt, & I'd love to see him or pretty much anyone else with a pulse in the rotation instead of Gopher Teheran.

I'm with you, but prepare to be pissed. With Folty and Gausman having setbacks and Newk being a pussy, odds are high that Julio will again be our opening day starter.

What's weird is the dude had the second best opponent's batting average in Atlanta Braves history last season(second only to Folty last season). Pretty much all the damage off of him was walks and homers.

This does not give me the warm & fuzzies.

Folty has been ruled out as an opening day starter.

Probably gonna be between Julio and Gausman, and Gausman had a late start to spring, so probably Julio.

Julio hasn't been bad on opening days though.

2014- 2 runs in 6 innings(0 in support)
2015- 1 run in 6 innings(2 in support)
2016- 2 runs in 6 innings(2 in support)
2017- 0 runs in 6 innings(0 in support)
2018- 2 runs in 5.2 innings(0 in support, and I'm not holding what Rex Brothers did when Snit pulled Julio prematurely against Julio)

Slight chance Newk is the opening day starter, but he's a pussy, so I'd rather we just go with Julio so we pretty well know what to expect.

We give Julio a lot of shit, but he's an average third option and a pretty good 4th option, he just shouldn't be anyone's opening day starter. He either throws a gem or gets shelled, but either way, he's gonna give you 6 innings most every start and I'd rather have him at the plate than either of our catchers.

Pache is the real deal. He is gonna be just as good as Acuna IMO. I expect his hype will start to reach Acuña levels this summer

That might be some Hyperbole by me because I think Acuna is gonna be the best player in the game(even over Trout) by 2020 or 2021 but Pache isbgonna be a perennial All Star.

He makes Inciarte very expendable IMO.

Chipper had great things to say about Pache last year, I believe he even said he's more excited for Pache than Acuna.

Either way, I'd be okay with it if Ender is struggling mid year to bring up Pache and trade Ender (and maybe package him with Julio) for a pitcher

Need Waters to be lights out this year and excel through the system to take Nick's spot in the next couple years
