Core JacksonGUEST
No, no, he wasn't there.
AJ PierzynskiHOST
Okay, phew, because I was going to say, Erstad missed on you, man, like he missed on Schwellenbach and some other guys.
AJ PierzynskiHOST
I was like, man, I'm going to have to call him, reach out to him and say,
Erik KratzHOST
Erstad, what were you doing as a coach in Nebraska if you
Jake MastroianniHOST
And so that's pretty big for the Atlanta Braves because they have several injured players that they're going to have to add back to the 40-man roster, which might mean they have to make some decisions.
Jake MastroianniHOST
Spencer Schwellenbach, Spencer Strider, Hurston Waldrop, Joey Wentz are all on the 60-day IL.
Jake MastroianniHOST
Those are guys that are going to have to be added back to the 40-man roster, which means the Braves are going to have to move some guys off.
Jake MastroianniHOST
November 10th through 12th is the GM meetings.
Lindsay CrosbyHOST
They need enough rotation depth where they can still throw him on extended rest in his age 38 season.
Lindsay CrosbyHOST
Spencer Strider, Spencer Schwellenbach.
Lindsay CrosbyHOST
Upside plays, right? It's great if they make it back and they can look good.
Lindsay CrosbyHOST
They're not dependable innings projections.
14 MINS LATER
Lindsay CrosbyHOST
You bring back Dubon.
Lindsay CrosbyHOST
You bring back Iglesias.
Lindsay CrosbyHOST
And you're counting on healthier and more productive seasons from Austin Riley, from Ronald Acuna Jr., from Spencer Strider, from Spencer Schwellenbach.
Lindsay CrosbyHOST
And you can make the argument here, hey, the Braves already won the division with that group, right? familiar players, it's usually easier to check those boxes off before a lockout.
George McNairHOST
And then, of course, your wildcard starters.
George McNairHOST
You're just not sure what you're going to get out of the two Spencers, Spencer Schwellenbach and Spencer Strider.
George McNairHOST
But that's a lot of starters to go with and a really strong top three.
George McNairHOST
It's not the strongest top three that I'm going to put into these three plans that I'm going to give you guys, but it's still a pretty strong top three that I would be happy with.
Lindsay CrosbyHOST
The mistake would be constructing the roster as though either one of those experiments is going to work.
Lindsay CrosbyHOST
And again, I feel like we've seen that with the Schwellenbach and Strider.
Lindsay CrosbyHOST
I feel like we've seen that with Austin Riley coming back and hitting right away.
Lindsay CrosbyHOST
With Ronald Acuna Jr. coming back from injury hitting right away.
Justin HughesHOST
It's going to be like spring training is going to be really interesting with this team because if everybody actually is healthy and right, they could have seven, eight, nine arms that are major league rotation caliber.
Justin HughesHOST
But, I mean, we didn't see Schwellenbach last year.
Justin HughesHOST
Strider has been a mess, really, since he's come back and been in and out.
Justin HughesHOST
You got A.J. Smith-Schauer, who struggled.
Lindsay CrosbyHOST
And even if he is healthy, you can't assume he's going to throw a full workload.
Lindsay CrosbyHOST
Spencer Schwellenbach.
Lindsay CrosbyHOST
He's trying to return to the majors after missing more than a full season.
Lindsay CrosbyHOST
And with...
Ben WeaverHOST
12 home runs as a starter.
Ben WeaverHOST
got a little pop in his bat as well see it's funny to me because you hear about the Braves doing this with a bunch of different guys we've had Austin Riley in the past Michael Harris and you know those guys both pitched and hit in high school and then both ended up going the hitting route in the perfect in the pros and But then you have Spencer Schwellenbach who went to Nebraska and he was a, was it Nebraska? I can't.
Ben WeaverHOST
Yeah, it was.
Ben WeaverHOST
Nebraska as a
Lindsay CrosbyHOST
Everybody has in some way or form.
Lindsay CrosbyHOST
How much of that is bad luck and how much of that is the training staff doing something wrong? On that note, what's the realistic expectations for Spencer Schwellenbach for next year, his return, and the likelihood of him looking anything like he did in 2025 before the injury? And that's from John.
Lindsay CrosbyHOST
So the surgery that he's having, or that he had, I guess, is they're putting a screw into his right elbow to stabilize it.
Lindsay CrosbyHOST
So when you fracture the end of your elbow like he did in 2025...
Lindsay CrosbyHOST
Things like this are not.
Lindsay CrosbyHOST
And so they're officially leaving it open as to when he could be back in 2027.
Lindsay CrosbyHOST
I think the things that we need to be mindful of answering John's question is one, what does his control look like? Because the thing for Spencer Schwellenbach that separates him from just about everybody else has been his impeccable control.
Lindsay CrosbyHOST
If you go back and you look at who he is as a pitcher, he's been really good at learning pitches on the fly.
Todd WelterHOST
Who are your untouchables? So as far as trading for pitchers, for me, the only untouchable are Caleb Bonamer and Rock, if it was me.
Todd WelterHOST
I would be testing the market with Colson to see if maybe the Braves would give up maybe Spencer Schwellenbach or maybe even Hurston Waldrop.
Todd WelterHOST
wall drop.
Todd WelterHOST
Plus another prospect.
