How is this surprising!?! Kendrick has been absolutely awful and they have far more options that are cheaper to choose from.
Gogerty
Not surprising, but certainly interesting to see their moves the closer we get to opening day.
NL_East_Rivalry
Agreed, not surprising at all. Need Manny to put up good today and earn that spot
Jeff Todd
I said the timing, not the decision itself. No reason (so far as I’m aware) to trim the depth now. Could be they just knew they weren’t going to make it and did it for the players’ benefit, or maybe there was a contractual reason.
Gogerty
Agreed, my thoughts were in players’ benefit. And Jeff, you are my hero. 3 questions answered Thursday. Love the chats.
Jeff Todd
Ha, guess you asked good questions! The chats are fun – I had never done anything like that until a few months ago.

They were both god awful so far. Good riddance. We have cheaper options as tdmorgan said.

They were both god awful

Thank god I’m always a positive person bout our players but this guy has been awful his entire career GO BRAVES give the spot to one of our young guys that could use the experience

Exactly

Guessing this means Norris and chacin look healthy. Great news.

Norris and Chacin have looked very sharp so far this spring.

These were low risks moves when Kendrick and Volstad were given opportunities. Didn’t work out for the braves. No big surprise but the risks were low anyway.

Kyle Kendrick=Batting practice. I’m kind of amazed he’s held on in the majors for so long. He was never really impressive.

Glad the Braves finally stopped wasting innings on these two bums!
Gogerty
Agreed with most commenters, they were low risk options, better to have them and see what happens.
