    So what happens if he plays well at SS? Would Dansby get moved?

    This timing makes no sense. This team needs someone in the FO to say "hold up, does this make sense?" Clock/service time aren't the be all end all, but they matter, when you add in we have a crowded infield, didn't move Phillips at the deadline, aren't contending this year and Albies isn't killing AAA...... why the hell are they making the move?

    Then "he" is horrible either way... just a matter of who "he" is

    The Braves have tried to trade Phillips since the All-Star break. Albies' arrival signals they're still intent to do so as soon as possible

    Wut?

    Albies hasn't killed AAA but he's shown he's figured the league out, I'd rather not go on the side of overbaking prospects like the Pirates do.

    It's not as bad as calling up Swanson because...well just because as long as Albies is allowed to play through ups and downs.

    And if it's they're just calling Albies because they really want to and he's not going to play then what?

    Just tell him he's going to the bench and if he disagrees he's getting released. You don't have to get ANYTHING for him and you'd upgrade based on Albies' defense alone.

    It makes you wonder with the toeing the line to rebuilding and trying to compete if what HH says isn't entirely crazy. Hart wants out.. he said that coming in.. he doesn't want to leave while the MLB team is atrocious. JS is not someone I fully trust making personnel decision anymore. He is old man living in the 90's and he might be pulling some rank on these decisions. Again, I am not apologizing for Coppy, but I wonder how much things like this happen.

    I personally have experienced this in two ways. I had a boss completely take my work for his own.. when I coded an end date for the report to stop running that was password protected, he stopped really fast. I also had another boss who completely vetoed 2 of my ideas and made me code something completely different than what was obviously right.. Of course I took some heat.. but ultimately coded it the right way after another round of 'trying to convince him' of why he was wrong.

    Schuerholz isn't involved at all in personnel decisions at this point. Hart is still president of baseball ops and is certainly involved and may be the primary decision maker on call-ups and demotions. Coppy is the primary driver of most personnel decisions, though, particularly trades, signings, and drafting.

    But Coppy was heavily involved even before he was officially named GM. He is the primary driver of the ship.

    Hilarious that this is the defense we throw out there for Sims. Nothing makes sense.

    Just means they were close on something or they plan to DFA him if no one puts in a claim IMO. Dat Dude's days are numbered and he will be a Brave for less than two more weeks. Once he's off the roster, Dansby will be back up and at SS and Camargo will become the utility guy.

    And no, I honestly don't have any problems with this personally. We all understand the service-time concerns, but I'm so sick of hearing about them I could puke. Now that Dansby was sent back down, people are screaming because he was. It's time to get them both up here and find out what we've got. I'm still a little surprised they didn't open SunTrust Park together, and if Dat Dude wouldn't have been so cheap (and a hometown boy) I still think that was probably the plan.

    Holding Acuna down through the end of the season makes plenty of sense since it's impossible not to say he simply hasn't had enough ABs, and they have so much money tied up in Kemp/Markakis - but if the Phillies sweep shows that they're throwing in the towel, it's time to start getting some guys' feet wet, especially when it doesn't cost much salary-wise.

    Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...

    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?
