    Right, I don't think I said anything about FA pitchers. If we need to sign any from next year on, then this rebuild has failed.

    Yeah, but Kemp's still a *hitty defender.

    Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

    Trade for Archer, sign Machado.

    Problem solved.

    I'm out on Newcomb. He got lit up last year in spring training too.

    I'm not watching the game but the feed shows 3 infield hits in 2 innings

    I think he's Lester. I think one day he'll just get it

    I love spring training over reactions. Both good and bad. Good grief.

    Kimbrel trade might be second worst. Wisler for class and bjs contract is bad

    It's like people never read the spring training stats analysis that the only things that are even slightly relevant are walks and strikeouts.

    Even so, it's a little depressing to make a cursory look at the box and see the numbers. I did quickly look for the BB column, though. Not as depressing for either Newk or Wisler.

    I hear you. Mostly wanted to mention the article since I thought it was well written

    Think it's time for the Braves to try Camargo out in outfield and move him around. His bat seems very alive and we know what a gun he has for an arm.

    I was at the last two games and was very impressed with Camargo. Smooth swing from both sides with pop in his bat. He played second, third, and short in the field and handled himself very well. His confident attitude says "I'm here!" He looks like he can't wait for the next opportunity.

    I'm not a big camargo guy but I don't see why he wouldn't be at least as good a hitter as chase. Might be as good as Peterson. Maybe the question is play him at ss for trade bait vs super subbing him.

    If we are going to do something stupid like 8 pen pieces then we need everyone to be versatile

    No question he can be a valuable piece with his versatility, especially if the bat comes on. But I'd rather leave him in Gwinnett for the year to keep playing every day rather than just sit on our bench in Atlanta.

    I couldn't believe we didn't get a semi decent offer for Camargo over the past year or so with the injuries that hit SS hard last year.

    We must think something decent of him. I know he can pick it and sling it, but the bat having life would be a nice development. He could back up CF easily you would think with some OF work.
