The Atlanta Braves - Hello darkness my old friend

[Blake25p]

Who?

Chris Martin, plays for the Rangers.

 

[TBrown]

Man... that hurts on the Allard front ha. Coldplay frontman for a former first round pick.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Chris Martin, plays for the Rangers.

Oh, Mr. Martin, of Texas residence. Thank you.

Allard went from no value to some value

I like it

 

[GAVol]

Strike-thrower.

I had no idea who he was but 30 seconds on Fangraphs made me like him. 10 K's per 9 and .95 BBs.

People saying the Braves got fleeced...0% of them know anything about Allard beyond where he was drafted.

Meh

Yep... It may turn out that way, but Allard hasn't shown a lot.

RING HIM UP

Not bad for a 33 yo reliever for Texas ha

Lets hope the big dude keeps throwing 96 mph strikes

 

[vols 30]

Martin the closer or still Luke ?

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Martin the closer or still Luke ?

Let's hope Martin

 

[LotteryPick]

Allard will be a career AAAA guy imo

 

[vols 30]

Let's hope Martin

He does have 4 saves.

I don’t disagree. Worth the gamble for a team like Texas tho

 

[Kingston Vol]

Bet there’s still a deal for Diaz or Giles out there.

Martin should be a good team’s 8th inning guy.

 

[Kingston Vol]

Good deal for both sides.

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

I like it. We need the pen help and I honestly don’t think Allard will amount to much.

 

[TBrown]

He’s a career nobody on zero trade radar that’s a rental and is currently battling a bad back. The K/BB numbers are strong but let’s not act like this is a sure thing.

 

[AV_12]

Hope he’s still working the RP market. I assume so. Can also tell teams he’s content when negotiating

 

[Regulator]

We’re dealing from a position of strength/depth. He may figure it out and become an all-star, he may never be big league quality, but he’s been passed up by several other arms in the Braves organization, so what he may become doesn’t matter.

Theoretically sure, but that thought process leads to poor asset management.

 

[Florida Stanley]

Man I had so much hope for Allard when he was drafted lol. Scrub. Same for Lucas Sims. And Kyle Wright. Uh.

 

[AV_12]

This dude has big big pop. It’s real
