Backdoor Slider 8,291 Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Confirmed he's up tomorrow to start: @braves RHP Aaron Blair (@A_Blair19) will make his Major League debut for the Braves on Sunday vs. Mets. LHP Matt Marksberry optioned to Gwinnett. 1.42 ERA and 22/5 K/BB in 3 starts. Link to post Share on other sites
oswald737 2,967 Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Third time is the charm in making this thread! Very much looking forward to this start. Has the talent and with Cespedes ailing, the Mets lineup can be tamed. Link to post Share on other sites
bronxbombers723 81 Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 i hope thats the case!! im throwing him out there today.. Link to post Share on other sites
Deke 1,916 Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Meh. That was a pretty weak lineup the Mets rolled out. Link to post Share on other sites
Snowblind 235 Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 How did he look though? Next start scheduled against the Cubs, sounds scary. Link to post Share on other sites
Light Tower Power 567 Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 How did he look though? Next start scheduled against the Cubs, sounds scary. You can look at the box score and you don't need answer. 2 walks and 1 k. That's horrible. Link to post Share on other sites

Obviously the stat line is less than inspiring, but I'm wondering if he looked as bad as it sounds. I have a waiver claim in for him. Link to post Share on other sites

Obviously the stat line is less than inspiring, but I'm wondering if he looked as bad as it sounds. I have a waiver claim in for him. MarKakis did him no favors on the ground-rule double. He doesn't cover much ground, or track balls well IMO, regaurdless of the sabametrical defensive ratings. Jey-Hey would have caught that ball all day... So his line would have been 1ER instead of 3, just sayin. He seemed a lil nervous early, but settled in nicely and had a nice pitch count going. He doesn't scream next big thing to me, but looks servicable. Atlanta is HORRIBLE, monitor his development and stay away other than dynasty for 2016 IMHO... Link to post Share on other sites
TheWrightStuff 374 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 staying up with the big club for now, right? Link to post Share on other sites
Didgital 49 Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Looks like he will get the start v the cubs tmrw. Anything think he will stick w/ the club? Link to post Share on other sites
biggamer3 23 Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Yeah, with Perez being demoted and norris pitching like his usual crappy self, no reason to not think Blair won't stick around if he's decent Link to post Share on other sites
Didgital 49 Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Did a good job today. I don't think he will get much buzz at all due to lack of K's but I think he could be a solid end of bench fantasy pitcher Link to post Share on other sites
bibigon 44 Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Dunno. The control just doesn't seem to be there. 45 out of 80 pitches for strikes in game 1, 48 of 85 for strikes tonight. That's not going to get it done. I'm in a deep league, badly need low-end starting pitchers, but I'm getting ready to throw him back. Link to post Share on other sites

PPolanco 1,218 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Frustrating that they wouldn't let him get that last out for the QS. Still a great start, was painting the corners and confidently mixing speeds. Top 50 SP ROS Link to post Share on other sites

PPolanco 1,218 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 I'm a big fan. He's actually not "special" at all, per se; definitely not in the same tier of upside as someone like Eduardo Rodriguez. But Blair is very projectable and will be more than serviceable for as long as he's in the NL. He's a groundball pitcher with excellent control. He compares very favorably to Aaron Nola imo. Blair is a very safe pitcher to own; I'm expecting him to be a qs machine moving forward. Note: he will have an innings limit during h2h playoffs but we'll worry about that when we get there Link to post Share on other sites
PPolanco 1,218 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Last chance Blair. A bad start and he's likely back in the minors Link to post Share on other sites
heyeaglefn 189 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Is this guy even worth holding in a dynasty league with another 3 years eligibility after this one? Link to post Share on other sites

I think that depends on depth and format. If you have a deep bench or can tuck him away in the minors, go for it. If each roster spot is precious and you are competing for this year, send him to the scrap heap. Link to post Share on other sites
