    Not sure if at anytime they were trying to pair Duvall with Joc. With Ozuna saying at the time the Braves first reached out to him was the day he signed it leads me to believe he was the fall back option for Joc regardless of the DH situation being up in the air. They clearly had the money to do Duvall/Pederson if they wanted without signing Ozuna.

    When was the DH decision made? That played a part in this as well.

    I'm not surprised they were in on Pederson. He seemed to be an almost perfect fit. I'm just not a Duvall guy. He would have been fine in a platoon with Pederson, but would we have been willing to pay him $5 million to $7 million to be a guy who was going to get 300 ABs?

    This was always foggy, and nothing was ever official IIRC. This LA Times article mentioned the official decision that there wouldn't be a DH on February 8th.

    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?

    Those who opposed the move should receive a ban just like those who blamed the forum name for our failures
