arthurpete 241 Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 pure speculation here but he did take the hill saturday which could line him up for a possible spot start @Chc this thursday Quote Link to post Share on other sites
4catztoomany 97 Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Unlikely, he's not even on the 40-man. Bryse Wilson seems like a likely candidate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brockpapersizer 12,188 Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Wander Franco has 0 Ks in 9 games in High A Ian Anderson struck him out in the first PA of the bottom of the first. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bigfische 173 Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 While it is still doubtful he is up any time this year, the guys ahead of him have been doing their best to crap the bed and leave the door ever so slightly ajar. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He's untouchable in any trade offers. Pache as well, but I worried about the Braves complacency in not moving a couple of their young SP's to fill huge holes... and as expected, the stars are no longer burning as bright. Tuki, Nuke, Wright, Wilson, Gohara, Allard... EACH and every one of those kids could have fetched a handsome return if AA and the brass had timed it right to make a move. Unfortunately, while they all still have varying degrees of desirability, the current returns would be diminished due to lackluster performances this year. That fact alone, makes Anderson (who's on fire but still has some BB concerns) a no brainer to remain w/ the Braves. Period. ATL knows these kids better than scouting organizations, and knows they can't count on 2/3's of the listed players to become foundational rotation guys like they'd once hoped. Like the stock market, top GM's know when to make deals. AA, considering the talent on offense, has failed mightily IMHO to move a few SP's that are so desirable in the current wasteland of available MLB pitchers. The glaring issues @ the back of the rotation along w/ the BP's nightly fiascos, the lack of a true closer... are inexcusable when you have the ammo to fix them instantly, AND STILL have one of the most stacked MiLB systems in baseball. Braves could win it all, start a damn dynasty... yet they continue to think and behave like a small/mid market team and disappoint the fanbase who deserves better. SMH.

Some might consider it crazy, but I have to agree with you for the most part, and I would actually move Anderson. Not saying he's not eventually going to figure it out, and you can't discount the K's completely, but his command has been awful as a whole throughout his minor league career. His eye-popping K totals would likely allow the Braves to get quite a return, but I have a hard time getting all excited about pitchers like Anderson who walk people left and right. 44 BB in basically 100 innings is pretty bad, and it goes to show he hasn't made any strides in that area since debuting in 2016. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LarryChip10 504 Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Anderson has the same problems as the other guys mentioned. All those Braves prospects are wild w/ high K totals. (Like you, I would trade Anderson...) I just don't think ATL will. He has been excellent of late w/ eye popping K totals, I'd like to see him up and see what we have, but if he's somehow traded... NOW or never! His stock is sky high, one of the top SP prospects around. He'd fetch a kings ransom. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jb_power 3,533 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 looks like they may be willing to move Ian. If they do I sure hope its to a NL team as I have him in a NL dynasty league R.J. Anderson of CBS Sports reports that the Braves are willing to include RHP prospect Ian Anderson in trade discussions. Anderson is one of the top pitching prospects in baseball, but because the Braves have so many talented young hurlers, it appears that Atlanta is willing to at least discuss moving the 21-year-old in the right deal. The 2016 first-round pick has fanned 129 hitters in 99 2/3 innings with Double-A Mississippi, and he owns a 2.80 ERA in that time frame. Put simply, this could put the Braves over the top in trade discussions, as there aren't many arms -- or bats -- that would better or equal this compensation.

4catztoomany 97 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 As a Braves an, I really hope Anderson stays put. Another dominant outing last night, 6IP 6 hits, 2er, 1bb and 9 ks. He's now leading MiLB in strikeouts. Over his last 11 starts (minus a shortened start before the futures game) he hs 69 2/3 IP with 95 strikeouts to just 19 walks. This kid has found another gear and it has stuck. With the trade of Allard, I hope they move him to AAA. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hailfire4 413 Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Yeah he a guy I am watching but don't feel I gotta get him now. I remember the Braves trading us Wainwright for JD Drew good times then. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm targeting him via trade in my Dynasty league and was curious on the outlook moving forward. There are several young arms in ATL so there is tough competition. From what I've read it appears he can stick as a starting pitcher who could be anywhere from a #2 to #4 option. He was able to improve in each AA and AAA after initially struggling.

Him being a #4 would be highly disappointing. I expect #3 with a real chance at #2. He's got tremendous K's, slight ground ball tilt, and somehow doesn't give up homeruns (super low HR/FB%?). His BBs are the only cause of concern, there's no guarantee he will improve but I would take a shot on it. 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
avatoot 102 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Anyone think Ian Anderson will be called up after they just DFA'd Foltynewicz? He is currently Atlanta's 3rd best prospect at 37 overall. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
4catztoomany 97 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I don't think so. Bryse Wilson would likely get the call before him given he has already been called up before. That being said, Newcomb looked bad and who knows what Kyle Wright will bring to the table. The door is definitely wide open this season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

4catztoomany 97 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Still don't see it. Not on the 40 man but Tucker Davidson is. They could easily roll with Fried, Ynoa, Touki, Wright, and Tucker Davidson to start but there is almost zero chance that rotation would stay intact. Bryse Wilson can still start who is on the 40. Although I could see them just DFA'ing Erlin and adding Anderson but it's not like he's really that ready. Big command issues. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
