I totally understand each manager is different. What one manager does (or doesn’t do) doesn’t necessarily mean anything about future choices.
One thing Cox and Snitker have done in the past is bring players over from the minor league side — even without a spring invite — and let them play if they see something on the back fields they want another look at.
I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the non-roster guys get a look in big-league camp after a week or so. I could be wrong, but it’s happened before.
These are the kinds of articles I find myself reading over and over. Amazing job as always — thank you.
Good overview. I hope to see s few 'pleasant surprise' outbreaks from some young players but, in reality, your review shows how depleted the Braves' minor league system has become and how dependent on complete (= miraculous) recovery of the SP's for this team to be successful. I would think McGuirk and AA should be feeling some real apprehension.

I think it really says a lot about how they view Lucas Braun that he didn’t get an invite. They may even view him as a Ian meija type
Yeah, that was one of the more surprising to me too
