This is notable because Wisler could be in Atlanta’s rotation for a long, long time.

I wonder if the Braves will try to convert Folty into a closer. Wasn’t that under consideration when they got him from the Stros?

Folty so obviously profiles as a closer, I’m shocked they haven’t arrived at that conclusion already.
Acuña Matata
Except its not obvious. He profiled as a starter. The Astros profiled him as a starter as did the Braves. He has more than enough pitches to start. Kimbrel profiled as a reliever since he was sent down from AA. The Braves are going to give him every opportunity to stick in the rotation. Theres a reason Grilli is signed for 2 years. If Folty doesnt pan out as a starter convert him late this year or next. If he does well trade Grilli at All-Star break and slot Folty in to closr.
