Chapman to the Rotation next ?

Probably.

I like the Braves signing Upton. It is a start but they still need some offense, badly.

 

[salsadancer7]

Probably.

He was a starter until he got to the big leagues.

He was a starter until he got to the big leagues.

Yes, I know.

 

[salsadancer7]

Yes, I know.

Forgot to add the rest because I was distracted....I meant to add that it should not be a big change. The only thing now is that leaves a pretty big hole in the bullpen UNLESS they have someone in mind already for that spot.
