man i have a lot of work to get to, but this thread is an absolute gold mine of whining, nervous Nellie stupidity. the certainty of saying Ryan Madson would be a better player for the Braves to have this season than Duvall says it all.

AA has no idea what he's doing and has to go.
every other team got better while the Braves stagnated.
i wish the Braves could be the Brewers.
AA is pocketing the money.
the brilliance is astounding.

AA wants to win today and not lose tomorrow.
Basically gives us a better chance in the regular season, in the long-term vs sacrificing today for short-term success aka some of the people here who want to go all in for 2-3 years of success. Which going all in doesnt even guarantee anything or boost your WS odds all that much.

It's always pretty funny to review the irrational posts of people who think that NOW they are coming up with good ideas despite a history of chuckle-worthy bonehead comments.
Almost as funny as when Taylor admitted to being young and stupid...6 months ago...as if in 6 months he has gained worldly wisdom.

Geez that post by tululush... That is a doozy.
Again, you're missing the point in regards to Britton and Ottavino. You asked "Who would you have signed?" I answered about who I would have signed cause those were the two I wanted most in the off-season. It just so happens that they are doing the best among the big name closers signed. And despite that, signing one of them wasn't our only option.
Holland finished pretty great with the Nats last year and has a much better track record than pretty much any of our relievers coming into the season. Ditto for Clippard and Diekman in regards to track record. And the best thing about all of them was that they came cheap.
Yes I know Norris hasn't done anything in 2019. The point was, he and guys like Homer Bailey, Francisco Liriano, etc., were guys we could/should have brought in along with Tomlin because the risk was minimal.. Just release them if they aren't making the cut.

i'm not missing the point.
those two signed for big money. risky contracts. Britton really hasn't been all that great, anyway, and his overall numbers don't bode well for the future.
you want Britton for 3/39 after looking at the totality of his numbers this year? big yikes from me.
3 years for any RP, much less one 33+, is a bad idea. as well as he's pitching this year, Ottavino could just as easily tank the next 2 years and that would hurt the Braves. AA was smart to stay away.
track record means extremely little to me with aging RPs.
