    I suppose you could trade Carp and go with Kimbrel, Simmons, Varv, Hale, Thomas, Shreve and Russell.

    From what I understand he won't stick at 3b and is destined for 1b. I hear the braves already have a decent player at 1b.

    They've also said he can be moved to the outfield. I hear we need those.

    Gotcha. I would rather have Kimbrel, Simmons, Carpenter, Varvaro, Shreve, Russell, and Hale.

    Definitely respect your opinion though!

    D.J Peterson won't be an outfielder. If that was the case I would MUCH rather have Gattis out there.

    And he's a 3b. We could use one of those to.

    If Hale isn't in the rotation, then I would rather have Kimbrel, Vizciano, Simmons, Hale, Russell, Shreve and Thomas.

    Should have 2 option years left. He came up in September 2011 but wasn't sent back down. He was on the DL for 2 years and you can't send players on the DL down so he got 2 full years of service time for that 2 year DL stint. One option should have been used in 2014.


    on a side note the fan graphs projection STEAMER projects Arodys for 1 inning with a 8.90 k/9.

    Source close to #Athletics says A's will not be trading Jeff Samardzija to #Braves.

    I'm glad that deal is not happening just because I think Seattle is the better fit. However, they do need more pitching unless you want to go into next year with David Hale as your fifth starter.

    Have I seen who play? D.J Peterson? If so, then yes.

    I just think 3 lefties is too many. Are you proposing they trade Carp? What about Varvaro?

    Sorry, but you're just wrong. He will be playing 1b at the mlb level. If he moves to the OF he will be terrible. He is not someone the Braves should be targeting.

    Andrew Cashner and Hunter Renfroe for Upton?

    Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?
