- Chrome Traded #T159 Adam Wainwright (Prospect)
…and Traded and Rookies Checklist 1 of 2.
“When Greg Maddux hangs ‘em up for good, Adam may be ready to step in as the Braves’ new ace. Rated Atlanta’s No. 1 prospect by Baseball America, Wainwright blows away hitters with his lively mid-90s fastball. In 2001, he set a Macon (A) record with 184 strikeouts. In ’02, he led the Carolina League (A) in whiffs with 167. The towering right-hander also throws a change-up and a nasty hard curve.”
Well, Greg Maddux has hung ‘em up for good, but Adam ain’t no Braves’ new ace. He’s been the ace of the Cardinals’ rotation since 2007.
