    Braves Braves acquire King Felix's brother for Leo Mazzone

    Braves acquired RHP Moises Hernandez from the Orioles as compensation for pitching coach Leo Mazzone.
    The 21-year-old is the older brother of Seattle's Felix Hernandez. Moises had a 3.08 ERA and a 56/24 K/BB ratio in 52 2/3 IP for short-season Single-A Aberdeen this season, making seven starts and four relief appearances. He's not regarded as much of a prospect, but if any team can turn him into something, it's probably the Braves.

    That's more than I would have given them. I think the Braves did quite well for a pitching coach who is without a contract for next season. The thing is if he's going to turn into something it'll be without the services of Mazzone.

    Any talk of who the Braves have in mind to replace him? Maybe they should play the turnabout game and grab Ray Miller from the Orioles.

    Leo's contract would've expired this November, so whatever. This dude sounds pretty worthless, so it's a wash.

    I think Atlanta will probably promote from within.

    This statement would be true ... IF THEY HAD MAZZONE TO DO SO.
