Cahill Trade Was the Right Move with Poor Results | Atlanta Baseball Talk
http://www.atlantabaseballtalk.com/cahill-trade-was-the-right-move-with-poor-results
May 06, 2015. Cahill Trade Was the Right Move with Poor Results. Trevor Cahill is now 0-3 with a 9.00 ERA, and the Braves just removed him from the rotation. His last outing was in long relief. The Cahill trade looks like a deal that may turn out poorly for the Braves. Cahill struck out 8.5 batters per 9 innings pitched in 2014. He walked 4.5 batters per 9. He allowed 0.7 homeruns per 9. The walk rate was a career high and part of a disturbing trend for Cahill, but his strikeout r...Cahill’s FIP (F...

Releasing Wandy was a Defensible Move | Atlanta Baseball Talk
http://www.atlantabaseballtalk.com/releasing-wandy-was-a-defensible-move
May 17, 2015. Releasing Wandy was a Defensible Move. The Braves signed Wandy Rodriguez to a minor league deal in January after he had agreed to a deal with the Phillies in January but failed their physical. He would have made a $2 million base salary had he made the Braves’ roster. Rodriguez has not thrown over 62 2/3 innings in a season since 2012. He led the league in starts in 2012, while with the Astros and Pirates, but hasn’t started over 12 games in a season since. He failed the physi...All that sa...

April 09, 2015. In the aftermath of Frank Wren’s firing, there certainly was a lot of talk about his deficiencies and what he did wrong. (Never mind that the head honchos of The Braves’ Way, John Schuerholz and Bobby Cox, were there throughout Wren’s tenure and didn’t seem to get in the way of what they later perceived as getting away from the Braves’ Way.). However, as Ken Rosenthal points out. Young stars, they aren’t going to be able to afford them all. In some sense, Wren’s plan worked. Sur...I don&#...
