Julio accepts assignment

In the article, it states that Julio will play home games for Rome and Myrtle Beach the rest of this month. He would likely be on the postseason roster if the Braves make it that far.

I know some people are split on whether or not having the ageless wonder around is a good idea, but with Teixeira on the team, we don't have to worry about Julio being our starting first baseman. So the question becomes, in the playoffs, who's your better bench option? Julio or Thorman?

I'll take the old man.

Because if we went down that road, Methuselah would be a given. The new question would be Thorman vs. Woodward, and that debate would open a vortex of suck that surely would destroy us all.

guess I'm saying, why can't it be woodward sent down??

Do we have that option on him? I was assuming he'd have to be DFA'd. That wouldn't hurt my feelings either.

I'd take Neifi over Thorman at this point.

Well, okay, not Neifi. But anyone else.
