The most interesting part of the Braves dealing Cameron Maybin to the Tigers isn’t that Maybin is back where he started, but that the Braves acquired Gabe Speier. Speier is a pitcher who hasn’t pitched much in the minors due to Tommy John surgery, making this satirical piece from a few days ago all the funnier.
That said, Speier stats in a small sample size of minor league appearances are just what a team wants. He’s yet to allow a home run in 77 professional innings, and is stingy with walks. He’s also very young, so if the TJ worked, the Braves got a very nice prospect for very little.
