I read where they were working on Albies' right handed swing. But I agree, its time to bring him up. Phillips has been a defensive liability. Its time to move on. Camargo has been great and I hope he continues his good work. I'd also love to see Acuna come up in September and see what he can do against the big boys. Its time to start moving towards the future.

Yeah, we're 8 or 9 games or whatever behind in the WC. But this team is not making the WC. Start bringing the kids up and giving them a taste of the big leagues. See what they can do. Because when they come up for good, they're going to struggle, a la Dansby this year.

Acuna is only like 19, so I doubt we see him this year.

My goal before the season was 80 wins. I think that's very doable.

I think with the way Dickey has been pitching the last 1 1/2 months we need to unload him also.

I cant believe that we are about to Unload our second wave of players for top prospects...without giving up any of the player we got from the first wave. Thats rarely happens.

I'd rather keep Dickey unless we get an offer that blows us away.

Acuna has been moved up to AAA and debuts tonight. I could definately see him getting called up in September.

He just homered in his second AAA at bat. Crazy he's only 19.

Albies scratched from the lineup tonight. Don't think he's hurt. Maybe he's meeting the big club at Suntrust tomorrow.

Dickey going tonight. I hope the 4 days rest helped Kemp and Phillips. I have a short fuse for both of them right now

I pretty much never get Braves games on TV except rare occasion games on major network like espn on MLB Network. Usually just have to follow Game cast
