Pretty excited about getting Wisler and Tucker, both are real close to big league ready and should have a shot at September call-ups and making the team next spring. All three were highly rated at one point, but haven’t really taken that next step. Hopefully the change of scenery will help.
Tucker might be called up immediately with the injury to Winker and now Duvall being traded.
The team seems to value the Sims acquisition more so than the other two.
Quote:Sims, 24, was a first-round pick of the Braves in the 2012 MLB Draft. After he debuted last season in the big leagues, he has posted a 5.96 ERA in 20 games, including 10 starts for Atlanta as well as six relief appearances this season. There has been more success at Triple-A for Sims, who is 4-3 with a 2.84 ERA in 15 games (14 starts) at that level.If he can bring his AAA success to the big team it'll be huge.
