Maybe Jackson can teach Folty how to throw a credible slider.
Okay we're 12 games under .500 in the middle of August. We'll have to play .500 ball the rest of the way to have 75 wins. The way things are going, that number seems high. I'm thinking 70-92 is about where we wind up. Am I being too optimistic?
They'd be crazy not to try to add someone like Kazmir at the very least IMO. And given the recent rumors again about possibly trading Teheran, if that happens even a Kazmir added is not enough.

So what are we gonna use money on?
We have a ton of key players pre-arb, most of the pen is pretty cheap.
Im just saying if they wont add a bat, it seems logical to add a SP of some kind. Probably not a Cueto/Price/Greinke type. But ones below that they should go after.
Especially if the payrolls in the 100-110 mil range, would give them more than enough.

MLBTR recently had this: "The Braves have been making an effort to shed contracts that reach beyond the 2016 season, and Heyman writes to “look for them to take offers on Julio Teheran” this offseason. Clearly, Atlanta would be selling low on a talented arm that comes with a very reasonable contract. Teheran signed a six-year, $32.4MM extension prior to the 2014 season, but he’s logged a 4.57 ERA due in part to diminished control in 2015."

If I was to get an mlb at bat, I'm pretty sure that's what it would look like minus the foul off. Nice swing terdo
