Braves sign Collin McHugh

[Heyward]

BP piece or rotation?

Has to be a bullpen piece. I’m intrigued. Nice to get another RH arm in there.

[mqt]

A very solid BP option.

[Heyward]

BP with Yates is pretty nasty man.

McHugh, Jackson, Yates from RH side, and Minter, Smith, Matzek from LH late in games Snit has options. I know we have others but those are the main guys.

[Mad Dog Murph]

I don’t know about you guys, but I love that AA and his staff keep their mouths shut and quietly sign winners. No rumors, no hemming and hawing on social media just a press release…..bam

AA musta been pissed at FF and his agent for making him delay his offseason plans.

Now he's just making moves here left and right. No f---'s given.

Smith is off the books too after this season. (well there's a team option which for his salary probably won't be picked up).

Bullpen gonna still be nasty next year too with Matzek closing.



By the way, our friend Chris Martin signed with the Cubs.

Man can’t be unhappy with this. The bullpen is extended even longer now and gives Snit another option. Filthy

Can’t wait for our boy Enscheff to break down for us why Snit is using him in the wrong spot in the game.

Still need to make a move for someone who can eat innings IMO. McHugh is obviously not that guy, although he could be an interesting swing guy to pair with someone like Muller/Davidson if that's the route we want to go.

Perhaps we're going to be using an opener a lot more this season if AA can't get an innings eater for the price he wants.

Definitely wouldn't surprise me. I don't love watching it, but it worked reasonably well last year. I'd prefer to see us do some piggybacking- McHugh/Muller and Wright/Davidson- than a true opener, but you can never have enough effective arms and McHugh certainly is one.

Man McHugh has been excellent as a reliever/spot starter. This looks like another fantastic move.

[chop2chip]

Assuming we have $10-15 million left to spend, I expect we should see either Joc or Rosario to be resigned this week with a cheap veteran starter to round out the rotation.

Good off-season.

Wondering about that very thing.

[UNCBlue012]

I’m guessing Matt Duffy and Rosario or Conforto.

[zbhargrove]

I think Conforto or Rosario is the way to go in the OF. I love Soler but it would be nice having that extra lefty in the lineup. Conforto likely has the biggest upside

[Heyward]

Bowman said preferably a LH hitter, cross out Soler? Rosario, Joc or Conforto it is.

I only want Joc if he’s a spot starter/bench piece.
