23 BATS R DOB 04/25/1998 THROWS R HT 6' 3" DRAFTED 2019, 4th (127) - ATL WT 220 ETA 2023 Scouting Grades/Report (20-80 grading scale) FASTBALL 60 SLIDER 55 CONTROL 45 OVERALL 40 Kalich began his college career at Blinn College, a junior college in Texas. After a year in Blinn’s rotation, he transferred to Texas A&M and moved into the Aggies’ bullpen. The recipient of the program’s Wally Moon Award for most improved player, he served as the team’s closer, saving 12 games. The Braves took the right-handed reliever in the fourth round of the 2019 Draft and signed him for $100,000 below slot then watched him pitch well in Class A Rome during his pro debut. A broken wrist suffered before Spring Training a year ago kept him from pitching in 2020, but he now has a clean bill of health. The 6-foot-3 Kalich fits the future reliever profile well, with a pair of solid power pitches at his disposal. It starts with his mid-90s fastball, a pitch he can crank up a bit harder at times, touching the upper 90s. He backs that up with a slider with cutter-like action to it that can be an above-average swing-and-miss pitch for him. Kalich missed a lot of bats, both at A&M (13.5 K/9 rate) and during his pro debut (10 K/9), but he’s going to have to prove he can find the strike zone more consistently as he moves up the ladder after walking 4.6 per nine with the Braves in 2019. He doesn’t have to have pinpoint command, and he was a better strike-thrower with the Aggies, so if he can get back to that, he has the chance to move quickly and impact a big league bullpen in short relief. High-A ball this year: W L ERA G GS SV IP H HR BB K AVG WHIP 0 2 3.26 20 0 5 30.1 33 2 17 35 .273 1.65 |

I like that we got someone for Soler.
Also, Dayton makes trades literally all the time. Beni is one that comes to mind, and he wheeled and dealed in 2015 and 2017 (one worked, one did not). Holding in 2016 backfired spectacularly but it was rumored that he was working on deals for Wade and Cain before they got injured. That year comes to mind as a lost one in terms of the long term impact that could have had on the franchise. But, it's going to be so frustrating if he sits on Whit this season and Whit declines next year. Feels like this was the perfect time to move him.

Kinda like your tired old whining and gripes. There is nothing you won't whine and bitch about. Somebody somewhere did me wrong kinda guy.

If Conway Twitty was still alive he would write a song about Mecca.

because Trea Turner was one of the names involved in discussions then, as was Victor Robles. Look, the Royals should be trading as much as they can. I'd like to see them be more "transactional" to borrow a phrase Dayton Moore recently was using. Scott Barlow Whit Merrifield should both be guys they're actively talking about.
