    Exactly. He's a bat for the bench. Any better and he'd be starting somewhere (probably DH on a low payroll AL team).

    So Brule hates a trade, what else is new?

    Looks like a solid move to me. Position flexibility is important, even if he's not a great defender. This allows us to not have to carry a backup 1st baseman if we don't want too. It looks like Wren was looking for a player that can do similar things to what Gattis did last year. Doumit should be a solid bench piece for us. It really doesn't matter what his overall numbers are, all that matters is how he does as a pinch hitter (.262 for his career) and if the number of games he plays allows Freeman and Gattis to be more effective because they are well rested. (especially Gattis, we don't want to put too much on his plate)

    I don't see any reason to be upset about this trade.

    I Wouldn't be surprised if Doumit wasnt the starter. He had a down year. He's not the best, but he's probably the best overall catcher on the team in all facets of the game

    I doubt that's true considering how horrible he is defensively. Gattis will be the starter and Doumit will allow him to pinch hit when needed.

    Though he's not considered a strong defensive catcher, Doumit would give the Braves a cheap option behind the dish in the wake of Brian McCann's departure to the Yankees. Doumit is owed jusr $3.5MM in 2014. The Braves have Evan Gattis, Gerald Laird and Christian Bethancourt as internal options at catcher, but Bethancourt could require more seasoning, Laird is a backup and Gattis has serious OBP concerns. He alsos struggled against right-handed pitching (.236/.284/.473), which is where Doumit exceeds (.270/.330/.454).

    thought Doumit has stated he doesn't want to catch at all.

    I like the trade, solid bench player and the Braves have a wealth of pitchers in the minors...just curious and for debate where do ya'll think each one of these guys will start this year and where they project to in the majors

    Sims
    Graham
    Hursh
    Cody Martin
    Northcraft
    Luis Merejo
    Juan Jaime
    Mark Lamm
    Ian Thomas
    David Hale

    obviously some of these guys are a few years away, but arguably all of them are better prospects than Gilmartin

    Hale, Thomas, Martin, Northcraft, Jaime and Lamm should be in AAA.

    Graham in AA.

    Hursh, Sims in High A.

    Merejo would have been in Low A, but had TJ surgery and will miss most or all of the season.

    At this point could Sims be projected as a future ace and #1? What about the rest of the guys 1-5 starters, relievers, closers?

    In what world is a 757 OPS struggling and a 784 OPS exceeding? And saying he has OBP concerns when comparing him to Doumit is just being lazy. 48 ISO for Gattis and 60 for Doumit. It all stems from Gattis' low average and his insanely low 248 BABIP against righties. That will change and this his avg/obp will take a pretty big jump when it does.

    Doumit is here for the bench and he will should do a pretty good job of it.

    Naahh..can't be true. What is he better than Laird at? I don't expect Doumit to catch much at all, will PH and play some OF.

    People continue to underrate Gattis defensively. If the Braves thought that he couldn't hack it behind the plate a greater attempt at retaining Mac would have been made.

    Do what? Not that Gattis and Laird are great, but while they are bad defensively, Doumit is on a whole new level of bad.
