... for a pitcher, and the Braves had 4 relievers in the top-10 in appearances. Eric O'Flaherty / Boone Logan One of those relievers who was in the top-10 in appearances was Eric O'Flaherty. The lefty specialist appeared in 77 games (56.1 innings pitched) and put in his best work as a major leaguer.

It was fun while it lasted, huh, Boone? He’ll be non-tendered for sure.

I’ve been conservative on my estimates, so if those numbers seem high, it’s because they probably are. Better to budget more and find you...

I linked to this piece (Offseason Outlook: Atlanta Braves | MLB Trade Rumors) yesterday, but I’d like to expound on it. Again, the quote: My suggestion: retain the starting pitching depth.
