    Giants are 2 games out of WC, and they're now at .500.

    Ground breaking trades for the Braves such as Alibes/Riley to Angel's for Pulijos.

    Sounds fair. We really need a first baseman too. I like it.

    I was hoping to sign Julio Franco for the rest of the season.

    Don’t know if anyone else is a member of the tomahawk talk FB group but I just had someone proclaim that we need to trade Waters to make room for Camargo in RF. Mentioned nothing about a return.

    What do we think about a castellanos platoon with Neck? Would that D be too bad with Riley/acuna/castellanos. But the offense against a lefty would be scary good.

    I will never understand this. Neck is below .650 versus lefties.

    You wouldn’t trade for someone like Castellanos to be the short side of a Markakis platoon

    I am not expecting him to cost too much.

    Word is that the braves were among the teams that had Scots at both of Stromans and Minors last starts...

    Also word that Stroman could be dealt before his next start

    11 days before the deadline and i'm not even sure what teams are actually selling.

    I'd love Stroman but i think he'd cost Waters and i dont know if i'd do that.

    We really gotta watch out when the Braves send some Welsh to watch Stroman and Minor.

    Scots were measuring Stroman for his kilt.

    AA colluded with Zaidi to start winning games so fans inside Braves Country wouldn't demand the Braves trade for him.

    Still think "The Move" has to be for a pen piece - IF they're not going after someone to start Game 1 of a playoff series.

    Stroman's just not that guy IMO. I understand why the numbers folks don't like MadBum as that guy, but think he probably fits that bill before Stroman. Greinke could be that guy, but at what cost? You're trying to make a deep run here - if you could use the same pieces to get MadBum or Stroman, I'd take Bumgarner. I don't give a *hit about the value charts. You're trying to add someone to make 6 playoff starts - which one of those two guys has the better track record?

    Not saying I would pass on upgrading the rotation if AA can do it, but the pen needs to be addressed first. I'd be OK with hoping Folty and/or Gausman return to form in the next month if the pen was significantly improved. I like Stroman just fine, but you can make the argument that you'd start both Soroka and Keuchel in a playoff series before him. If you're going to get Stroman AND Giles and another pen piece, that's a different story. This pen simply isn't good enough to make anyone feel comfortable against a good offense.

    Maybe we'll all be pleasantly shocked and AA convinces Folty and Gausman that this team has a legitimate shot to win it all with Soroka, Keuchel, and Stroman starting in the playoffs with the two of them coming out of the pen and slamming the door - I just don't think he can.
    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?

    Who says AA cant get a SP and a bullpen piece. How much do BP pieces on the last years of their deals cost anyway, maybe a 40FV type and filler.

    Didn't say he can't - simply saying that we've got a chance to improve the rotation from within with pieces we already have in Folty and Gausman. We DON'T have those pieces in the pen.

    We might have those pieces. I wouldn’t discount what we have already in house. Weigel. Clouse. Webb. All could be diamonds we have been looking for. We have already seen Webb.
