For whatever reason, anytime I saw Roark pitch against the Braves, he owned them. So I’m not exactly sorry to see him leave the division.

Chopping With The Braves And Rolling With The Tide
Braves assistant GM says that it doesn’t make sense to go all in for one specific year...
This is old and pisses me off as a fan. I’m excited about a good farm system because we can get whoever we want. We have money to spend on FAs....
I want to see the ATLANTA Braves win...not the Mississippi Braves....
If you aren’t willing to go all in, there is no reason to sign Donaldson
Get off my lawn!

Not a big deal and we were never interested in him, but
So AA said signing a FA with a pick attached to them isn’t a problem and then Pollock was mentioned. I wouldn’t mind him at all in RF.

Personally, I think I'm a pass on both of them. Brantley would be fine, but his injury history does scare me. It scares me less than Pollock's, who I'm completely out on, but it scares me nonetheless. I don't know if we should want to take on any heightened injury risk after signing Donaldson and McCann. It just feels like we would be setting ourselves up to get shredded by injuries during the season.
But, if the Front Office feels comfortable with Brantley's medicals and thinks he could play 140 for us without much problem, then I would defer to them since they have more information on that subject.
Im not against Puig. Hes signed for just one year and it seems AA likes these 1 year deals
