    Watching him everyday has led me to believe that it's not worth the trade off. Plus he is more susceptible to hurting himself being in the field. An AL team would be smart to see if the braves would dump him and pay most of his deal.

    Would a AL team take Kemp for 2 years at 6 million per year? I think so.

    Who's your catcher? Flowers is nowhere near the top of the list defensively. But you're strong everywhere else except maybe second.

    Adams and Camargo have earned more playing time. That's for damn sure.

    Second? Albies is not bad there at all. Very solid.

    I hope we spend our offseason money on a stud BP arm like Reed. Load up and let the kids play.

    Minter, Viz, Ramirez, Winkler, Freeman make a really nice core for next year's BP.

    Account for pitch framing actually puts Flowers near the top

    I think it would be a good defense. I think studs at a lot of positions is a bit too premature though.

    Yup. Add Reed and let Sims be your long man. You can steal a few extra wins just by hanging around in games.

    Akeel Morris needs to be part of the conversation too. His control improved considerably the last two weeks in AAA.
