Bench next year.

[Heyward]

Schafer
Terdo
Laird/Gattis (depending if Mac is brought back or not, unlikely though)
Pena?
Pastornicky

Yes?

I'll be surprised if Reed Johnson's option is not picked up. The Braves like to have a couple vets on their bench for leadership and experience.

Yep. Greg Norton is a great example.

I think someone might pick up Schafer and see if he can be a starter.

You are probably right but with our starting outfield, Gattis, Schafer and Terdo all wiling to play the outfield, I think we should not bring him back.

Probably won't happen though.

[Heyward]

I think someone might pick up Schafer and see if he can be a starter.

Unless he's not offered arbitration, that's not possible.

Since he was claimed, he's under control for 3 more years. And not on a one year contract.

Pena?
Pastornicky

Yes?
Little to offer for any of them being back next year. However, Laird being under contract and McCann,s future unknown will drive who and what comes back.

[Dalyn]

Reed
Laird
Pena
Raburn
Joey

[jpx7]

Yep. Greg Norton is a great example.

Well, he's an example.

[Nerfherders]

I'd love to bench Next Year but we're paying him too much money!

[elmonthc]

That bench is disgusting. It wont be our bench either. Fw will either get someone off waivers or sign a fa like he did pena in the offseason.

Gotta resign mac next year. **** it, just give him what he wants.

I am just not a huge Pastor fan. I don't ever see his bat playing in the majors.

I agree with all this except for that bench being disgusting. Schafer, Gattis, Pena, and Pastor is a very solid bench, imo. But I do think FW will trade or sign a vet

And yes we need to bring back Mac desperately.

[FUEagle]

Yep. Greg Norton is a great example.
He's the hitting coach at Auburn now

A bench of Gattis, Pena, Schafer, Pastor and Terdo is a good bench.

Lots of versatility.

I agree we need to find a way to keep Mac but i think he will be too expensive to keep.

[jdunn]

I think this is Reed's last season with us. Not basing this on one AB, but Cunningham could be our 4th OF next season.

[Heyward]

Terdo needs to be on the team next year.
