    Jaime has a live arm, but the control of a ten year old driving a car.

    Bad hyperbole, but it's the only thing that came to my mind. Deal with it!

    Watching CB behind the plate gives me a lot of confidence...maybe even some warm feelings.

    The roster failed because of 3 or 4 guys out of 25 with Fredi at the top. That's really what happened. We had multiple players have historically bad years.

    Yes he is. The Braves' roster was loaded with talent. Last year didn't work out. The previous 4 did very much

    It was a lineup built under the premise that strikeouts don't matter. Wren said as much in many interviews that his people crunched the numbers and felt that strikeouts didn't matter. Having one or two of those guys in a lineup is a smart idea to get some pop but a lineup built upon that principal is stupid and it eventually proved itself out.
