    Wonder how the injuries this year will affect his price tag?

    he made 9 million this year. He has had solid years prior to this year and even still this year was not bad considering. I think he gets around 4/75 IMO.

    I'd go after Revere if I had to choose anyone, but I'd be happy with Fowler or Span.

    why would we trade for Revere? wouldn't Mallex be about the same as him, except we already have Mallex??

    Seems logical (your question), but the Braves seem either to fear pushing him too soon, or they aren't convinced he will be "Revere" or better. I sure hope he will be. If he can get on base at .350 and steal at will, that's a weapon.

    all indications show he will be Revere like. I think he spends most of next season in AAA and then evaluate from there. But Revere is under control until 2018 so I guess we would have to trade him or have three OBP guys in the outfield for 17 and 18..

    Personally I would want to focus on a LF/RF and move Nick accordingly. A catcher if they don't want CB, and pitching this year. preferably an outfielder with some pop would be nice, but I know they are not going to spend on that.. Span, Revere, Fowler are not that beneficial to this team in my opinion. but I will evaluate whatever they do when they do it, I haven't disliked too much of what they have done thus far, so I have trust.

    As a mid-market team, we have to give chances to a player like Mallex Smith rather than spend a lot more money on a similar player like Revere. Sure Smith is a bit more risky given he hasn't done anything at the ML level. But mid-market teams have to give a player like that an opportunity.

    My guess is Smith will play half the season in AAA and get called up is he is able to sustain the kind of performance he had there in the second half of the 2015 season.

    completely agree.. We will jettison off Bourn and Swisher or bury them deep on the bench and Mallex will make his debut around Aug 1st.

    So, what you're saying is there's a white Dexter Fowler that Coppy Hart can go get?

    AJ's a natural on the booth, really enjoying listening to him and Smoltz. Lots of knowledge about the game, too bad he won't be back, he's made for the AL.

    Somehow the Astros with all of their strikeouts are beating a team that doesn't strikeout in the playoffs.

    Add "Pete Rose and Dontrelle Willis bantering about baseball on a studio show" to the list of stuff I never thought I'd see.

    AJ is not bad.

    Oliver Perez is pitching in the playoffs in 2015. Add that to the list, too.
