Am I A Believer?

A couple of years ago Horacio Ramirez drew comparisons to Tom Glavine -- lefty, good-but-not-great stuff, needs to keep the ball down and control walks to be effective. And while there's certainly a chance his latest results are a fluke, he's starting to justify the comparison. None too soon, both for the Braves season and his career.

Just wondering -- McCann is beginning his rehab assignment, and should be back soon to reclaim his starting job. Meanwhile, Brayan Pena's performance has been head-and-shoulders above last year's. I mean, truly, he's been great -- he's got this cool low line drive swing that's built to hit for average, he plays hard and with enthusiasm, and he's fast. I thought Pratt was an ideal offseason pickup, but Pena is really starting to look right at home. So it's question time: What are the chances that Pena gets kept over Pratt? And would that be a good move?

I'd think that there is zero chance that Pratt stays. Bobby loves his veterans and is using Pratt as McCann's mentor.

Sorry, my post should've read that there is zero chance that Pena stays this time.
