I'd love to go with a serious bullpen strategy of Folty, Touki, and Newk... where those guys go 2 strong on rotation each night. Could really shorten games or keep us in them. I'd like to ask starters go 5-6... those 3 go 2 ip on rotation, and then close it down with whoever is fresh

wtf?
I provide very little unique stats. Everything I look at is available to everyone that cares to understand how modern MLB teams evaluate players.
And I agree with your overall assertion, DK is good and improved the team, but he isn’t some star that’s going to suddenly make the Braves favorites in the division. But he is also a lot better than Julio.
I just mean you dig where most don't. Obvious or not you put them together. As a matter of fact because of this board, I visit every minor league affiliate and try to bypass the scout take and give us the "what I see" take. I think it's a good balance. And I do think Dallas is better than JT, but peripherals aside, JT has done what we wanted for a3-4 starter.

But the GM of our forum Enscheff told at the beginning of the season the Braves don’t have any more money to spend...
Technically, this was supposed to be our first competitive year, so had things played out that way, we wouldn't have Gaus at all. Also, Folty, Soroka, and Fried are pretty important pieces to this team, along with Newk and Touki in the pen. Not that it's a ringing endorsement for this strategy, but I'd say the focus on pitching is definitely paying dividends among this year's team.
