    Connor Joe was well thought of when drafted. It hasn't translated for him to this point. Looks to be a guy without a clear position.

    For the record (and I said this a week ago), I hated the Rodriguez signing.

    He didn't even have a long track record of success before the injury so that might not even be the reason he has struggled.

    It was a smart move to clear cash on a player we don't really need now. You could sign Phillips back next year to play 3rd lol.

    The Braves FO probably thinks Neck's trade value skyrocketed because he got his 2000th hit.

    Didn't understand the fascination with him when the Braves signed him. Not that a player needs to be any good for this place to go nuts and start tooting their homer horns.

    Just think he's only just beginning. I'd venture to say that Nick the Stick is just scratching the surface as a hitter. 2000 is only about one third of what he will end up with when he decides hang his cleats up.

    Absolutely sounds like the precursor to another large deal

    I'm sure there will be myriad graphs and analysis to gauge Phillips' ability at 3B, but I can't figure out why he had never played the position prior to a week ago. Who knows what these guys do in side sessions, but if Phillips could play a passable 3B, he wouldn't be a bad guy to keep around at the right price.

    When was the last BIG trade in August? I'm not being a smartass, just curious...hopefully not Verlander, defeats the purpose of a "youth movement"

    Verlander only makes sense if there's a concurrent deal to move teheran.

    Sadly I think that's going to happen and I'll miss Julio

    He would be traded in the offseason in this scenario

    Agree. Other than last year he's been pretty meh. Camargo should fill his roll long term just fine.

    Rodriguez was a good signing, just didn't work out. Can't control freak accidents like that wreck.
