    I haven't read the article, but I would guess they mean as long as the player is in the organization by 8/31 the are ways to get them on the roster. Anyone traded for or picked up after that are ineligible for post season play even in the event of DLing someone.

    Seriously do you really think the Braves would have made this move if it was going to affect his playoff eligibility. It won't. I promise you is eligible for the post-season. No need to even worry about that. Bowman has also confirmed that.

    Again, I'm not contesting the notion that Gattis will/won't be eligible for the postseason.

    To say "any player in the organization is eligible" is an incorrect way of phrasing things.

    A better way would be: "The Braves can (again) add him to their post season roster by replacing a disabled player (who is TBD.)"

    We are just arguing semantics. The loophole is so big and obvious that to state that anyone in the organization is eligible is not really an incorrect statement. I dont know who they are bringing up but I they will more than likely be DL'd with a headache the last day of the season so Gattis can get on the roster. I can almost guarantee you this is how they got the third catcher on the postseason roster every year since I doubt they were on the roster before roster expansion.

    Agreed. And with this waiver wire mess, I'm afraid every Brave playing in the post season is already on the roster. I highly doubt there will be a trade today for another bat or RP. Guess we'd better hope that Heyward can return and Uggla and BJ get it together these last few weeks!

    The reason I seem to think there is going to be a trade is that the Braves are holding off on the roster move. With Gwinnett heading out on the road, you would have thought the move would have been announced last night. Just seems strange if they were going to call up a guy like Constanza, they would have already done it last night.

    I think they are going to work on bringing an outfielder in but if that doesn't happen Conztanza will be the move.

    Why would they be bringing in another OFer?? Reed Johnson can come off the DL anytime they wish. The magic number is getting smaller, and Heyward should be back in plenty of time. With Elliot Johnson I see no need for Constanza since speed is his only asset.

    I think it is just what Fredi is saying, give him some at bats, when the post season is clinched, give him some starts.

    Reed Johnson is nowhere near coming back at this point. He still can't even run. And they will have to call someone up today because you don't want to play with a 24-man roster tonight, and since Cunningham can't come back up, barring a trade or waiver claim, then Constanza is the likely call up.

    really think we need another bullpen arm, hope its a trade. Unless I'm missing something we've got nothing in Gwinnett good enough to take over for Avilan and Carpenter. Those two guys need a reduced workload.

    162 game season is often a war of attrition. Braves are especially seeing it with all the injuries and fatigue. I like this team a lot (heck of a lot more with Heyward playing) but really wish they were able to get another bat or bullpen arm. I hate the waiver wire rules; wish there were some kind of special or conditional allowance for an injury like Heyward's: 'Atlanta has the best record but will be allowed to make a claim and trade because a starter is seriously injured' kind of thing.

    Given the new WC format they shuold just eliminate waivers and eliminate deadlines for trades, instead just set a playoff roster cutoff date.

    I wonder if Wren even asked about Byrd? It's not like we've never traded with them before. I mean the Brewers just traded Axford to the Cardinals.

    You mean prior to the Trade Deadline? He went to Pitt on a waiver claim, meaning that we would never have even gotten the chance to ask.

    Byrd is a GA native, and we all know how much the Braves like the local talent. I have to wonder, though, if there isn't some general reservation surrounding him due to the whole banned substance thing.
