Any actual MLB LHH would be an upgrade over Flaherty at this point, even if he can't play 3B. With Culberson on the roster listed as OFer, there isn't really a need for another 3b option.
Granderson might make for a nice bench bat, and he recently cleared waivers. I think the Yankees and/or Indians will value him more than the Braves since they could use him in the OF, while the Braves would only use him as a bench bat, but hopefully AA is checking on him.
Ruiz at AAA would be an upgrade an could still play third
i really, really wonder at this point if it has to do with Markakis and RF being buds. i can't fathom any other reason why he'd still be on the team.
September is right around the corner. You know at this point the Braves feel like there's no point getting rid of anyone.
Carlos Franco may be a better option than rio. Neither are good
All good points, but we have GOT to do something.. I don't want this to cost us a game at some point. Someone get Cargo on the phone...
I don't know how much Cargo has left in the tank.
Wondering what kind of player a Newk Allard and Swanson package would get us this offseason
No way. At worst he’s a lefty arm who’s made it to the majors with 6 years of control and with no guaranteed money. A less competitive team would probably take him and put him in their rotation to let him take his lumps and see if they can make him a #3 starter eventually. If he can’t hack it he could be put in the bullpen. I think the move for the Braves is to move him before everyone knows for sure what Allard is.
