I uploaded the tweet but Heyman pulled it almost immediately after leaving a blank post. So the snark really wasn't necessary.Originally Posted by Forever Fredi
Still was funny though to open the thread and have it absolutely blank. I waited 10 seconds for something to load and refreshed the page twice before I realized there was nothing.
I looked up the story after I saw your post to see what really went down, so I know what you intended to post.

The weird thing was that since I was posting it on my phone, apparently it just remembered what was supposed to be there and kept displaying the tweet. It made a lot of the responses in this thread puzzling until I looked it up on an actual computer this morning.
Wouldn't be worth it for us. We're not 1 player away, and we have Albies coming up who'll need a place to play and 2B is the likely home.

Funny thing about this every time someone says it. No one's ever "one player away" until they get more players, so doesn't adding more good players make sense???
Not that I'd recommend a Dozier trade, but let's just imagine for a moment that the brass was actually interested. If you plug him in at 2B, aren't you suddenly MUCH closer to being "one player away"? Just a guess, but an Albies/Wisler package probably gets him. Adding Dozier's pop at typically non-pop position allows you to get by with a Ruiz/Garcia platoon at 3B if you chose. If you suddenly have...
Inciarte, Swanson, Freeman, Kemp, Markakis, Dozier, Flowers, Ruiz/Garcia
are you then "one player away"? Then go give the White Sox Mallex/Newcomb/Demeritte/Toussaint for Quintana?
Just not sure how you get to "one player away" from where we are without adding more players - whomever they are.
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?
Thank you for listing out the new lineup with the potential addition of Dozier. I know I was having a tough time envisioning what it would look like with 1 different player than what they have now.
We're real stupid if we give up Albies for him.
It does. But the BRaves are a team in rebuild. Aside from Freddie they have no stars on offense. Swanson is developing and maybe could be a star, but we'll have to see. What you're advocating is blowing up the farm to acquire 2 major league players. Of course what you're proposing may not even be close to what the other team would actually want. But I digress.
Even with all those moves, do we have the pitching to win? Probably not.
Don't get me wrong, if he repeats last year Dozier would be a colossal improvement over Ozzie/Jace. But that's a pretty big if.
What the BRaves should be doing now is pretty much what they have been this offseason. Signing guys to 1 year deals who maybe you'll be able to trade for fringe prospects. Then you hit next year's FA class which includes Lucroy,Lawrie, Walker, Frazier, Moosetacos, Hyun Soo Kim, Carlos Gomez, Lorenzo Cain, Bruce, CarGo, J.D. Martinez, Davish, Eovaldi, and more. And you can hold out for the following year which will have McCann (has an option, can't see it being picked up), Dozier, DOnaldson, Adam Jones, Leonys Martin, Blackmon, Harper, Machado, Segura, Harvey, Pomeranz, and opt out candidates, Andrus, Heyward, Tomas, Kershaw, Price,and Melancon. My guess is Price, Kershaw opt out. Heyward and Andrus probably don't but who knows.

Things like that happen. Everybody understands. It was worth it for a laugh though. No harm done.
