Atlanta Braves — Bryse  Wilson

It’s kind of hard to believe that Bryse Wilson only has 28.2 innings in the big leagues. I feel like he’s had plenty of opportunities, but that’s still a fairly small sample size.

Still, I think he’s someone the Braves will be dangling out there in trade conversations.

It’s pretty telling to me that with how desperate the Braves have been to fill out the starting rotation this year Wilson still hasn’t been given a chance.

That should tell you something about how the Braves feel about him and his future with this team.

Like many on this site, I’ve always felt Wilson is better suited for the bullpen. But honestly, he hasn’t done a great job there either for the Braves.

Again, a very small sample size in the big leagues, but he has a 13.50 ERA and 2.83 WHIP as a reliever and 5.56 ERA and 1.68 WHIP as a starter. And his K/9 is actually much better as a starter.

I don’t know what the answer is for Bryse, but I don’t think he’s in the Braves’ plans for the future at this point.

Like with Touki, there will be some team out there that believes that can unlock Bryse Wilson and I hope that’s the case for him.
