The Braves stole Danny Winkler from the Rockies. You're gonna love that guy when he's ready to assume a ML job full time.

I was really excited when I saw they picked him up on the rule 5 draft but I was puzzled why the Rockies left him open to be taken.

He's assumed the bullpen role and he's been great all Spring. I think he struck out the side in his only inning of work this season.

The Rockies figured they could leave him unprotected because he was getting TJ surgery and no one would be interested in a guy out for the next year and a half. They were wrong. I'm fairly certain this was one of the moves that got Dan O'Dowd ousted as GM.

I'd like to see him take on a starting role. Our bullpen isn't great but it would still be capable without him. Our starting rotation is horrible so now would be the time to test him.
