    Morosi: The #Braves are *not* among the finalists to sign Craig Kimbrel, source says. @MLBNetwork

    It better be because he wants a long-term deal, or AA needs to be fired ASAP.

    I agree. Absolutely no reason CK shouldn't be our top priority if he is willing to accept a 1 year deal.

    Just ****ing bologna.

    There is no reason with our market size that we can't be one of the crown jewels of baseball. We are literally the only team in the entire South.

    It will be 30 years without a World Series at this rate.

    Likely among the best? That’s a strong assumption about someone who had a poor second half and also happened to be the worst pitcher in the playoffs. It’s more of a gamble than you are admitting to yourself. Still if he would only take a 1 year deal it’s a no brainer

    Personally, I don't think there is a hell of a lot of decline risk with him. And I consider the playoffs just another small sample. It really just comes down to whether his command is there or not.

    That's the difference in his being a really good reliever and an elite one.

    None of that basically good feeling about his abilities makes me particularly interested in overpaying him.

    Apparently there's no need for GMs to attend then?

    There's absolutely no reason that kind of corporate meeting couldn't have been scheduled a week earlier or later to allow AA to be there, even if it was a "just-in-case something pops up" kind of thing.
    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?
