    I think it's gonna cost alot more than people on here expect it will, and more teams are desperate.

    If teams are desperate wouldn't the return on Familia have been higher?

    He's not as good as Britton.

    My feeling is rentals won't cost much...perhaps Baltimore goes "quantity" with Britton again but if he costs more than MAYBE one medium type prospect (maybe Dustin Peterson?) and a couple low level, color me surprised.

    Funny thing is I can't think of many medium type prospects in the Braves system. It's either high level or low level most of the time.
    Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.

    Not really, its pretty close. You got to remember that they got a million in slot money too, which is ostensibly going to help them sign that Cuban pitcher that everyone is supposedly really high on.

    If I had to pick between Familia and post Achilles Britton not taking into account handedness, I would take Familia. He is younger and Britton's injury risk concerns me more than Familia's.

    Braves have international money they don’t seem to be doing anything with.

    Are we allowed to trade our "dead" slot money under our current punishment? That would seem like too easy of a workaround if we were.

    Yes. Although next year I don't think we have any slot money period.

    Seems to be a bit of a bidding war among contenders for Britton. I’d prefer AA not win a bidding war for a BP arm.

    Yes he is. Britton has not been that great so far and is coming off a major injury.

    According to Ken Rosenthal, the O's are seeking a package equal to or better than the Herrera deal. That should tell you all you need to know about his value.

    Yes. The idea is to maximize bang for the buck and that might mean going for someone like Zach Duke or Avilan.

    Not complaining at all but Luis Avilan ERA is 4.28 is that a upgrade?

    3.12 FIP 3.90 xFIP

    Against lefties: 1.79 FIP 3.13 xFIP

    Yes he would be an improvement. Especially against lefties.

    Here are the numbers for some of our current relievers against lefties:

    Biddle 6.55 FIP 4.12 xFIP
    Freeman 4.76 FIP 3.80 xFIP
    Carle 3.31 FIP 4.66 xFIP
    Minter 1.20 FIP 2.68 xFIP
    Winkler 3.51 FIP 3.87 xFIP

    Minter is the only one doing well against lefties. But he mostly pitches the 8th and 9th. If we can bring in someone like Britton who can free up Minter to play a more flexible role that would be good. Or alternatively, we can go with someone like Zach Duke or Avilan and leave Minter in his current role.

    You actually think the deal would have been the same to an in division rival?

    Avilan might have PTSD from his time in ATL.

    They weren't getting much value for Familia regardless and he is a FA at years end, so it isn't like they would have to face him for several years.
