you can make whatever other point you want to make and I'm cool with it.
I just responded to the implication that the Braves wouldn't acquire Haniger (or didn't acquire Haniger) because they signed Markakis. Maybe you didn't intend to imply that. It certainly seemed like you did, but I understand how that works sometimes.
If the Braves like Haniger, and I'm not sure why they wouldn't, and the Mariners offered them a package they consider reasonable, Markakis would be on the bench or out of town before you could hand calculate his BILE.
I feel pretty confident the reason Haniger isn't in Atlanta or somewhere else is that the Mariners didn't particularly want to trade him.
......
Also, the Braves have a pretty good idea of what a "starting caliber OF" would cost to acquire. If they aren't getting one before the season, it's because they don't want to pay that price and it's not likely to be any cheaper now than it was before.
I sort of anticipate picking up another OF before they break camp that hit's RH if there is one out there to get.
