Chris Resop Tosses One-Hitter In Triple-A

PrintThe Braves have five days to decide what to do with pitcher Chris Resop, either call him up to the Majors or trade him. Tonight in Norfolk, Virginia, he tossed a one-hit shutout, striking out eight and lowering his ERA to 1.84. He certainly proved that he needs to be in the Majors, and he'll get his wish pretty soon. Resop needed only 105 pitches, 80 of them strikes, for the complete game.
As good as he was, he actually didn't pitch the best game for the Gwinnett Braves this year. Todd Redmond tossed a no-hitter earlier this season.

Thata boy Poser!
Forcing the Braves’ hand on this one. Love it.
How did we get Resop in the first place?

He signed a minor league deal after impressive enough during the spring. He had been in Japan.
ah…that worked out pretty well.

Resop did face the minimum, though, because got a double-play immediately the hit in the second inning, and didn’t walk anyone. That’s impressive. I would argue it’s just as impressive as the no-hitter, since Redmond did issue a couple of walks in that game, and only had 3 strike outs.
For the love of Heyward, get this guy up in the pen. Get the hell rid of Jesse Chavez

I know you say that in jest, but...
I wonder if he is? The way he’s been pitching you never know.
HUMAN TEAMMATE HEYWARD JASON FOR FRANCHISE MVP AFTER TAKING MATTERS INTO OWN HANDS AND REMOVING MCLOUTH NATE FROM LINEUP
I honestly think
He could do at least as well as Lowe has been, and maybe as good as KK at this point. The component statistics are awesome. This is really close to what Kris Medlen was doing last year prior to being called up, though he didn’t do it for as many innings.
Agreed 100%

The big difference
is age. Well, that and past history. But at some point, even I have to start believing it’s real.

I want to believe
He’s never been a guy who maintained this kind of strike out pace before, and he couldn’t do it as a reliever. It makes me believe everything i’m hearing about his fastball-that he’s found better control for it, and found a two seamer to go with it.
i think there’s a slight difference in tossing a 1 hit shutout in AAA and holding the D-Backs offense scoreless for 7 innings. KK does not need to be replaced.

Ya’ll do realize you’re talking about Chris Resop, right? Lets not get too excited here. Will he be serivceable out of the pen, and better than Chavez? I’m willing to bet he will. But thats about it. I’m not ready to throw him in a major league rotation.
"Matt Diaz is a baseball player."-Joe Simpson
No need to put him in the rotation. Maybe an emergency or spot start. Butwhen JJ comes back, we will have 6 starters already and he would be the 7th? Long relief is possible, but then where would Medlen or KK go? I think by bringing him up and uing him in long relief, while JJ heals, we can see what he is made of.
I'm not sure KK fits the bill...
but I think Medlen would excel working with Saito, Moylan, EOF and Venters in critical late inning spots, helping reduce their workload.
by Mr. Sanchez on Jun 11, 2010 10:22 AM EDT up reply actions
Agreed completely
Meds would be great in that role. KK, not so much; he needs to be a starter.

Definitely.
Medlen has reliever stuff and mindset. Kawakami needs to stay in the rotation, and his performance has been fine.

I've been a big Resop detractor,
but that is damn impressive, especially considering he knew this was his last chance to shine in AAA before the deadline.
He certainly deserves a chance to come up to the bigs at this point. And if we do trade him, I’d like to thank him for raising his trade value immensely these past few weeks.

Couldn't agree more Pac
Question for you: Given the way he’s been pitching, what would you think would be a fair swap for him, if he gets traded?
HUMAN TEAMMATE HEYWARD JASON FOR FRANCHISE MVP AFTER TAKING MATTERS INTO OWN HANDS AND REMOVING MCLOUTH NATE FROM LINEUP
It's really hard to gauge his value right now.
I have no idea what teams think he can do in the bigs. Heck, even the Braves clearly have no idea.
That said, I would think that he would fetch a “promising but flawed” low-minors prospect, or a component piece for the MLB club (4th OF / bullpen arm / etc.). In other words, nothing too special, but a heckuva lot more than he would’ve fetched before the season.

I think...
Resop has littel value atm till he can show some serious signs in the major leagues…Unless we add to resop with acouple B+ prospects like when we got Mclouthe for Morton ++ prospects otherwise I agree that we could simple get B prospect or 4th/BP arm for the major league roster.I still think Resop will add greater value if he can get acouple starts before the trading deadline in which we could use as another trading chip for a solid bat…We will have to see what the braves think is best for the team in as a 5th starter or prospects….
I wish there was a way we could pry Reimold away from the O's
He’s not hitting much right now but dude is a RH power bat that would look good in our lineup.
he's
ATROCIOUS in the field. So no thanks.

As a cardinals fan
I gotta say, we’ll happily take Resop off your hands. He’s gotta be better than Suppan.
The player I would like least at #9 would be my sister’s cat, Captain Creamsicle. She does have a great work ethic and agility, but I’m really concerned that at 9 lbs., she’s too small to play safety in the NFL. She also bites way too often on play action and is easily distracted by someone waving string in the crowd. Lastly, her wonderlic score was pretty awful, answering "meow meow meow" for most of the questions- Dr. Brackish Okun
Yes
But what would you give us for him?
It’s difficult to gauge because the Braves don’t seem to have much trade leverage. Either he’s promoted by June 15th or he essentially goes on waivers, free for anyone to claim (for the league minimum, while remaining under team control through 2013). Of course, the Braves will promote him into the bullpen rather than lose him for nothing.
He’s 27 years old and I don’t think he’s even eligible for arbitration next year, so you could get him for league minimum for the rest of this season and next year, then arbitration the following two. I think that’s accurate. So you’d have him through his age 30 season.
What’s that worth?
I dunno a mid level prospect
Or an older minor leaguer. Maybe a guy like Bryan Anderson, or a Pete Kozma.

I think I could live with either of those. If we got Kozma, we’d pull off something of an organizational coup, going from having zero serious SS prospects to being nearly flush, since we’ve signed Salcedo and just drafted Matt Lipka. I don’t think we can have too many MI prospects considering how little success we’ve had there, historically.
Its just 2 bad
We don’t run the Braves and the cardinals neh?

I'd hope for a little better, of course
Still, a mid level prospect in return for a guy who seriously holds no value for us (no room for him in the rotation now, and no room in the future) is more than perhaps the Braves will get.
I dont blame you.
It’s just going to be hard to get something for him, I suspect. I doubt the cards do anything as well. After all we just picked up Suppan, so we’re all set. /sarcasm

The leverage is they get to pick what club he goes to.
A trade is the only way a competitor or division rival will have a very good shot at him.

Resop and JoJo for Pujols
The birth of Jason Heyward was God’s punishment for the sins of the people in New York and Philly.
Ha
You can have Pujols for Heyward, McCann(sp) Hudson , Jurrjenns, Glaus, Redmond, and your top 10 prospects. ;-)

how you threw Redmond in there, like he’s a big part of our core. Awesome.

We're getting ready to trot out Jeff Suppan every 5th day
I’d take all the pitching I could get. lol

I have to say, I’ve been a big fan of Nolan’s for the last 4 or 5 years, but he looks completely lost right now. At the plate, in the field, everywhere. I really think there might be something going on in his life that affecting him. It’s a shame and I just want to see him get right. He’s not the same player he was when he was here in Norfolk last year.

They say the Achilles has really been a problem and will probably continue to be for the rest of his career.

Yeah, they've been trying him at 1B some.
The thought is that he might never get back his motion after the Achilles’ surgery he had.

With Medlen in the rotation, Resop would be awesome as the long-relief. Send Chavez or Christhian down. Once JJ is healthy and available, then maybe we can move Resop for a piece. Basically, what you guys have been saying.
Morton hit Heyward with an offspeed pitch. Early indication is that the baseball survived the impact.
Unless Resop has much greater trade value than any of us could reasonably expect, given that he has been superb in AAA and the Braves have two relief pitchers who have no legitimate business remaining in the MLs, maybe we should just bring him up and see how he does.
On the other hand, we could dump him and stick Chavez and Christhian Martinez.
Which of these moves would be more highly controversial?
Martinez looked pretty good yesterday. Chavez needs to go down and Resop come up. Once JJ gets back (there appears to be no need to rush him the way Medlen is pitching) we ave lots of options. KK is pitching well, in spite of his record. Lowe is pitching better of late. Hanson and Hudson aren’t going anywhere. we could try to move either KK or Lowe. Lowe’s contract will probably not lend itself to a trade. KK might get some wins with a team that scores runs for him.
Send down Kimbrel...
if we aren’t going to use him in tight games, or as a last resort, why have him up at all? The last two games would have been perfect to get him work and see how he handles pressure situations. We didn’t use him, and if Bobby won’t give him the chance to earn a prominent role, I don’t see the point in having him up if he’s lower than Chavez and Martinez in the pecking order.
Send Kimbrel down, Chavez can just be last in line until JJ returns.
I agree with this.
We should send down whoever Bobby trusts the least, especially if it’s Kimbrel.

Resop and Lowe
for Corey Hart.
The base paths belonged to me, the runner. The rules gave me the right. I always went into a bag full speed, feet first. I had sharp spikes on my shoes. If the baseman stood where he had no business to be and got hurt, that was his fault. -Ty Cobb
