Dickerson DFA’d

[Enscheff]

A few gems about Kemp:

There is absolutely no reason why Kemp should have a negative defensive value to the braves.

I cant wait till people have to admit how wrong they were about kemp.

Lol at Kemp haters.

Its all fun and games until Kemp hits 35HRs and OPSs 900

What do you think about Kemp now?

Shall I look up some MAdams quotes?

I take it you guys didn’t get President’s day off at the office?

[thethe]

Shocking indeed.

Here’s one I could find quickly:



8 legit pitchers! On the same path as the Cubs!

When I get some I’ll find more if anyone else wants a chuckle.

Want to see your comments about Kemp and MAdams?

Please...find more sir.

Is he spotting you on the bench?

[nsacpi]

Jace I definitely missed on. Can't argue with that at all. But again, please provide me with additional examples. I get I have the reputation of being an uber optimist and I deserve it but after Francouer there weren't these big misses that you like to rib me for.

Didn't you have really high hopes for Jenkins?

Do you remember me and him debating trading Alex Wood? While so many here say he is always "positive" he was not that high on Wood and was in favor of trading him. I argued with him on that and took the position that Wood had ace potential. However, I had been saying that about Wood going all the way back to drafting him. Of course, thethe got his wish as not long after that the Olivera trade happened. Speaking of that draft, it was the first time I got exactly what I wanted as far as our first two picks (Sims and Wood).

I always loved Alex as well. I just always felt and still do that he is ticking time bomb and that we should have traded him to get value. We just ended up trading him for a sack of ****.

The whole debacle was dumb. Wood should have been traded from the start of the rebuild to get future assets.

Ok so you want to compete in 2017? Keep wood as he would be a big part of the rotation that year.

So what do they do? Trade Wood and a top 50 prospect for a 30 year old unknown. Just made no logical sense which describes a lot of the moves under the Hart and coppy era.

I still expect Peraza to turn into a very valuable player.

[Enscheff]

Didn't you have really high hopes for Jenkins?

The question is: is there any player he didn’t have really high hopes for?

[clvclv]

I still expect Peraza to turn into a very valuable player.

I have no idea whether he'll ever turn into a "valuable player" or not, but I will say that believing he will and then *hitting on anyone that believes Swanson has a chance to turn things around is more than a little bit disingenuous.

I just want to give you every ounce of attention that you crave. Just give you a big ole hug.

Who exactly is saying Swanson doesn’t have a chance to turn things around?

Actually it is possible to differ in one's assessment of two players without being disingenuous...even without being a little bit disingenuous.

[nsacpi]

Who exactly is saying Swanson doesn’t have a chance to turn things around?

Not I. But I never joined in with the next Derek Jeter hype. And I've won one bet involving him and have another lined up for the 2018 season.

define "very valuable."

come to think of it, if pache doesn't hit at all, his bat could end up looking like peraza's. except it seems he'll be a great defender while peraza isn't.

i must admit i don't understand why some get so upset at fans being perhaps overly-positive about their team and its players. it seems to bother some far more than it should. this is the internet, it's harmless, it's fun and games.

I feel responsible for starting this thethe crapfest and it really wasn't my intention. It seems productive to discuss current prospects in this way. I don't see any value in looking all the way back to guys like Williams Perez to criticize a guy over. This is a fan message board, if a fan can't be optimistic here then there's not much point to it.

thethe, you be you man. It makes this forum a happier place.

I'll never not be who I am.

I still disagree that Riley was 'terrible' in A+ last year! :P
