2024 Minor League Thread

Sorry if I missed this earlier in the thread, but is Owen Murphy injured? Seems like he hasn't pitched in a while.

Ooof. I just saw on Twitter that he’s going to have TJS

The timing of it just sucks. Probably won’t see him back in game action until 2026.

At least he’s super young

We picked up Ramon Laureano on a minor league deal. Low risk move… I know several were advocating for him a couple years ago.

A few years ago I wondered why all of the Braves picks were pitchers. Now I know why. Every pitcher comes with a bomb attached to their elbow.

Dang it on the Murphy news

Cursed year

This - Keep drafting pitching.

Interesting. Someone must have been reading the article at mlb.com that mentioned Laureno as a possible pick-up in the wake of Acuna's injury. He had a couple of decent seasons with the A's, but has fallen off the past couple of seasons. Some power. Can at least stand in CF without totally embarrassing himself if the need arises. Noted for his great throwing arm, examples of which you can find on YouTube. Walks less than a wheelchair-bound senior citizen.

His solid offense basically fell away after he got busted for PEDs if I remember correctly. Curious lol

Didn't know about the PEDs. Would make sense as at least a partial explanation for his fall-off.

David Fletcher apparently got the start at AAA and went 5 innings 3 hits 2 runs and 6k including striking out top prospect Jackson Holliday. He is throwing a knuckleball........

[drewdat]

Probably would have made a lot of money betting on Fletcher over 5.5 Ks

Waldrep promoted to Gwinnett

Solid work by some of our pitchers!

OF Luis Guanipa (our top international signing for 2023) made his FCL debut today and went 2/3. Let's see how long it takes for the Braves' minor league hitting instructors to ruin him.

I mean it was advertised as filthy. Looks Clemens/Smoltz like. Hopefully he has the command/supporting pitches to be a plus starter.
