Triple-A Gwinnett #Braves Matt Wisler is International League pitcher of the week, 2-0 w/ 1.35 ERA in 2 starts, 1 BB w/ 9 K in 13 1/3 ip

Banuelos (AAA)...
3.06 era 32.1 ip 27 k 14 bb

I'd love to call up one of these guys and move stults to the pen. I'm sure we don't wanna start the clock on these 2 and folty, but I wanna see 1 soon.

Wisler could get called up very soon. I haven't heard anything on banuelos. The Braves need arms and need them now

Yep. Really hope grilli can rebound and Jim Johnson can stay solid long enough to trade them.

Why rush him up? Like you said, we're not going anywhere this year. Let Stults eat up innings with mediocre results, and allow Wisler to continue to develop without starting his clock. Until his last few starts, Wisler's results weren't setting the world on fire, and the scouting report on him has been that he still needs to develop.

the best-cast scenario would be for Stults to catch fire over the next couple of months so the Braves can unload him for a middling prospect or two at the trade deadline. I've been assuming that's why they brought in him, Cahill, Jim Johnson, and Grilli, anyway.

I'm more a fan of getting banuelos up. Replace the lefty (stults) with a lefty. Banuelos has had arm trouble before and isn't as highly thought of as wisler. I'd like wisler next season so him and folty won't be FA's together. I really think we could be a WC team next season, but not depending on 2 rookie pitchers. Get banuelos' lumps out of the way this year with folty
