What should we do with some of our players this off season?
C Johnson - trade him. His value will never be higher
BJ - stuck with him
JUp - trade him
McCann - Let him go
Huddy - Let him go
Medlen - Keep him
Uggla - trade him PUHLEEZE !
Venters - resign
Carpenter - keep him
any others ?
I disagree with CJ and Justin. You have to hold onto them for one mroe year for different reasons.
With CJ, we just don't have another option and its going to cost pieces to get someone else.
For Justin, I don't think you are going to get great value for him. I don't know if he is a big time extension candidate anymore and it seems he has been overrated by a large margin but I'm willing to wait another year to see if he realizes some more of his potential.

Agree except on CJ and JUp.
Who replaces CJ?
Not sure JUp is a superstar but not like we have any better options.
We don't really need to re-sign Venters, if they offer him arbitration, he's back.
Mac depends how much he's looking for, really.
CJ - Keep him.
BJ - Keep him.
Justin - Keep him.
McCann - Let him go.
Huddy - Offer him around six million with an eight to ten million dollar team option.
Medlen - Keep him.
Uggla - Trade or make him earn the starting job.
Venters - Bring back.
Carpenter - Keep him.
Schafer - Bring back.
EJ - Bring back.
Reed - Pick up option.

CJ keep him another yearOriginally Posted by Dalyn
BJ Unfortunately have no recourse
JU Trade him for Profar (Texas will probably need an OFer and Profar has no position
Mac Let him go
Tim One year at 6 with a mutual option and a buy out for loyalty
Medlen Keep him
Uggla Trade or release him. Just put him out of my misery
Venters Non tender Too risky to keep
Carpenter keep him
Shafer Let him go or trade away
EJ If we can get Profar and bring up La Stella NO NEED for EJ
Reed Let him go. Too fungible
I would look to trade Kimbrel for Castellanos plus
Possibly bid on Josh Johnson
Sign AJ Pierzynski or similar LH batting catcher
Upton for Profar?
Thats an interesting deal if Texas would accept.

Texas will in all likelyhood need an OFer since Cruz may not return. Profar really has no position with Andrus signing long term and Kinsler refusing to move off 2nd.
No more farfetched than most internet trade proposals.
And then what do we do with Uggla? Trade him? Cut him?
Who plays in the outfield if that happens, don't say Schafer.
Bethancourt catch and Gattis in LF, or Terdo gets a shot in LF?
So wait, wait, wait.
So we sign big brother to a large contract, and he absolutely sucks his first year. Then we trade his far more productive, although not quite MVP-level younger brother?
Teheran_49 (09-21-2013)
You can do anything you want with him if you get a replacement like Profar of even La Stella who either will cost minimal for next 2 years while eating Ugglas contract.
You have to decide soon who you want to keep 2 years down the road. BTW, havent you noticed that the grip it and rip it method isnt all that great.
So wouldn't we give the two of them another year before we make that kind of decision, and if we're ready to just eat Uggla's money to sit his ass on the bench, or give La Stella an opportunity?
Lol. Don't waste your time bro. Let the keyboard GMs suggest trading our team leader in HRs
Heyward keep
J Upton keep
Freeman keep
McCann keep
Gattis trade or keep, whatever
BJ Upton keep. no choice
Uggla drive him to an Alaskan wilderness and kick him out
Simmons keep
CJ keep
Hudson keep
Maholm let go
Medlen keep
Teheran keep
Wood keep
Minor keep
Kimbrel keep
keep. keep.
This. I have no idea what some people watch, but money or not, JUp shouldn't even be thought of with regards to a "trade him." This is not fantasy baseball and I'm certain that Wren is not worried about winning his fantasy draft by doing something that dumb! Now his brother.......
Read the title of this thread. AFWIW, with the money available coming up in 2014 and the pitching staff that has been seasoned and what is available pitching wise in the minors, Wren can reallistically do what he wants with virtually every position player currently on the team and build any way he wants.
C Johnson - Keep
BJ - Will go down as the worst contract ever given to a Brave, no choice but to keep him
JUp - Keep
McCann - Let him walk
Huddy - Offer no higher than $6MM contract
Medlen - Keep
Uggla - Trade him for anything or release him
Texas wanted Upton last off season, AZ wanted Profar. Texas refused BECAUSE they thought they had a deal with Kinsler to move to the OF. They knew Hamilton probably wouldnt be back and Cruz upcoming FA. The backfire was that Kinsler then decided with his big contract he wouldnt move off 2nd. BTW Texas has lots of middle IF prospects coming up. So IMO Profar is now redundant to Texas. OTOH, LaStella while intriguing to this board is not even considered a top 10 prospect by most raters.
