I really enjoyed your article projecting the 2027 starting rotation.
Looking at the State of the System I can see why their 1st round pick is one of these 2nd tier college pitchers. Especially since Waldrep, Hackenberg and Braun seem to be going backwards.
The Atlanta Braves are at a critical moment. To sit on their hands at a time where major changes should be made, will result in the loss of the fanbase. Fans want to see legitimate attempts from their team, to get better. Absence of that will result in the loss of the almighty fan dollars.
You are so right about the article on Harris. SOMETHING IS WRONG. Step#1: Stop the pain (e.g., someone else to play centerfield the rest of the year). Step#2: Find the cause (e.g., maybe he needs a shrink/priest/pastor, as he's having "woman" troubles, alcohol, strip clubs, lazy (now that he has all the money he'd ever want (he thinks) he has no motivation, etc.), maybe he needs to 'rehab' in AAA, etc.). I hope the money and the adulation early in his career hasn't (and this is an old timer word) 'rurn't' the man.

So my 2027 rotation looks like this:
1. Strider
2.Schwellenbach
3. Smith-Sawyer
4. J.R.Ritchie
5. Owen Murphy
6. Didier Fuentes as Wildcard
