    Add Mark Langston to the group as well. That's the guy I think Newcomb probably comps to best: Link: https://www.baseball-reference.com/p...angsma01.shtml

    Edit: I should add that when I say comp, I don't mean that Newcomb will become Langston. I think Langston is probably his ceiling if he puts it together.

    But you all have convinced me. Newk will be fine. Rainbows and butterflies all around!
    Again, you got owned. You asked a sarcastic question, and it got thrown back in your face. Just own it.

    How do I own it other than saying "Haha I sure did"?

    You are so giddy with excitement when someone proves me wrong you can hardly contain yourself. You should probably go change your adult diaper now that you've pissed your pants with happiness haha.

    Here’s an article about Harris from two years ago

    With Snit staying that seems like the best thing to do...a “Davey Lopes type” would be great as a first base coach, don’t know if anyone like that would be available and I have no idea who they would consider as a bench coach to “help” Snitker

    Possibly taking the Kim Kardashian approach in that any news about you is good news.

    No ****?

    I'm thinking Billy Ryan is going to be important either way we go. He probably has the most knowledge of anyone in the front office of the current rosters and created the analytic software we're currently using Tomohawk.

    I say give the young guy a chance to be the man.

    If the reason DM doesn't take the job is because he doesn't want Hart looking over his shoulder the whole time, the Braves are going to have a hard time getting anyone other than an insider or young guy from another organization.

    Nobody the Braves hire is going to be "the man". He's going to be Hart's glorified personal assistant.

    One of the stories goes it was because Coppy and he were not getting along sharing responsibilities. If a new GM comes in they're going to need info and who better than the guy who created their analytic software and has handled GM responsibilities.

    That's why I'm saying just give him the job. Plus he's a youngster who worked for Hart before so he could be fine working with/for him until he rides off in to the sunset.

    DOB's latest piece has some interesting stuff. It includes one source who "insists" the Braves had told amateurs to fake injuries and to tell other teams they weren't going to sign so they could fall to the Braves in the draft.

    I was also listening to sports radio this morning. Chris Dimino hinted someone with the Braves had told him something pretty juicy but that he was hesitant to go into it and betray the source. What he did say was that he wouldn't be surprised if more people are forced out.

    I'm not usually one to put much stock in sports radio host's rumors as it's their job to pump up interest. However, Dimino has a long history of covering the Braves. This just further backs up that the worst of it may be yet to come.

    While this is definitely slimy and I don't doubt it happened, I think this would be really hard to prove.

    Everyone must go. This is a disgrace.
