Just interesting that Castillo is considered a well-above average defensive catcher by both of those. Obviously I would assume they are using primarily things like blocking and throwing in that, but it's weird.Originally Posted by gilesfan
But he is apparently saving runs that way.
At least we won't have to negotiate an extension this time around.
Braves have signed minor league outfielder Lane Adams, up briefly with the Royals in 2014. 27-year-old righty hitter with fair power spent 2016 divided between Cubs and Yankees systems.
Looks like he has some speed too. 44 stolen bases last year.
gnats reportedly close to signing Wieters.
Guess we're going with what we've got.
I hope they do sign Wieters, I want no part of him.

Can't wait to hear giles talk about what a good signing Wieters is for the gnats.

If the Nats get Wieters and want to flip Norris for cheap then I'm interested in that.
Wouldnt be a bad signing if it happened.
I'm okay with Wieters.... earlier he was just saying Wieters isn't very good and it would be a mistake for the Braves to sign him.
Sounds like Buchholz is about to be traded...
Buchholz to the Phillies lol
Buchholz actually may do quite a bit better in the NL
Wieters is fine if he signs for Castillo money. He is a definite upgrade for the Braves.
Richie Shaffer DFA'd again... I'd pick him up on a minor league contract with a ST invite if he'd go for it. He's got some tools and may still have one or two more years to put it together.
You have a strange fascination with me. Signing wouldn't make sense to me unless it's for basically free, bc Weiters isn't good and they already have Norris/Severino.
"Yes, I did think Aldrich was good UNTIL I SAW HIM PLAY. "- thethe
Never said he wouldn't be...
Tyrell jenkins DFA by rangers. And people complained about losing him
While I get your point, I wouldn't mind resigning him. I liked him.
