    Wasn't Blair in the minors long enough to get that extra year of control?

    Yes, but as MLBTR stated had he stayed in minors two more weeks (almost exactly as far as days). He'd not been super two either but will now if he stays up all year.

    I hope those extra 3 starts he gets to make this year will be worth the potentially many more millions we may end up paying due to super 2

    Yea, this is why I wanted to just give him a few more weeks and in the meantime give others in line a shot. Then if they failed or did well you just put one in Norris spot and call up Blair after that time is up.

    Would've been the right move, '76. More incompetence from the Coppy Crowd.

    Braves prob hope maitan et al are ready to replace albies if he becomes a boras guy.

    Copy has made comments iirc that they are not going to play a lot of service time games. Maybe they think that helps them in signing future young guys.

    Heyward came up early. If he is up 2 months into the season it's very unlikely we make the playoffs. We were not signing him. We dealt him for a good return and got a great return bc zo a is dumb. I'm not complaining about that.

    I really think we could be a decent team next year with Swanson and albies and one big trade or signing.

    If he's an all star in 2022 and won't sign then you flip him.

    2024???

    Sweet Jesus.

    I'm much less concerned about the super 2 status. If the guy ends up being good enough to worry about team control he will be a bargain at any arbitration figure. If he ends up being non tendered then it doesn't matter.

    But it all boils down to setting the team up to be able to control a potential star for one more full season in their prime.

    Yes, if Albies and Swanson actually reach their star potential projections, if Malone and Co. don't give us more payroll we won't be able to afford them if they become awesome. If we're worried about whether we get one more arbitration year, I'm more worried about us being able to afford them for the arbitration year. We may end up doing another rebuild again. I think if we had a bigger purse we would have signed Hey and Justin long term instead of trying to flip them.

    If there is anything to Bowman's tweet, I think there is (ahem) reason for concern that the Triple Johntente is emphasizing short-term PR gains over the long game. It will be fun, sure, kinda like eating cheesecake for dinner, but in a few years we may wish we'd eaten our veggies instead.

    This is where spin can be something not entirely harmless. The spinner will sometimes feel obligated to accompany the spin with actions that are not in the long-term interests of the organization.

    Made my trip two weeks ago. Definitely worth it as I knew he would not be there long. Keith Curcio has been pretty interesting to watch.

    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?
