I think jogun could maintain a 3+ win for the foreseeable future. However I agree moving him to the bench does help. But going negative at catcher and RF from last year negates what Donaldson brings most likely. I am just not a believer in Mac and Neck together. I was fine with one of them but not both. Not without buying a better insurance policy. And we didn’t. So we have the potential to see raffy lopez and dufail getting playing time when one of the old dudes gets hurt.
If the Braves kept Camargo they would be going negative at 3rd as well. The numbers don't back up Johan continuing to be that type of player. Braves also are projected to get 3.6 WAR out of their catchers in 2019 after 3.5 last year between Suzuki and Flowers. So I'm not sure how that can be treated as a negative.
I still maintain camargoat would have maintained. But impossible for me to prove. So I will concede. But I don’t think we will get that much from the catching Corp unless Flo carries the weight. Like 4 wins to offset Macs negative war. I hope I am wrong. But I don’t buy that Mac has much left to offer.
probably should cross the orioles off our list of possible trade partners...was fun while it lasted

Braves sign Josh Tomlin to minor league deal
It wouldn’t surprise me. Honestly, if Pache and Waters keep progressing...Pache should be close to ready for the beginning of 2020 and Waters near the end of 2020 (even Jenista for that matter). Muk would be a cheap place holder. I could see them keeping Muk and trading Ender. You don’t put a 80 grade center fielder in right field. That option is insurance in case one of the guys are not ready.
