[Hudson2]

Now that the season is really over let’s discuss

[Hudson2]

Swanson and Jansen are our big free agents. Where do they end up and who ends up here?

My prediction is we land one of the top 4 shortstops, and it isnt Dansby. Iglesias slides into Jansen's role, but Jansen was pretty good down the stretch and having Iglesias face the middle of the order in the 7th-8th is valuable.

Jansen is going to have to totally rework his mechanics in the offseason. I can’t imagine him getting anymore then a mid level 1 year prove it deal.

I probably wouldnt want Kenley back because anytime a runner got on, it's basically a free run or they get to 2nd with ease. He actually was pretty solid all things considered.

It’s the pitch clock that’s gonna be the problem for him. He has the longest delivery in MLB at around 26 seconds I believe.

This. A walk or a single is basically a double. I’ll say one of Turner or Correa will be a Brave and possibly Diaz. AA loves having 2 closers and Matzek is done next year and Yates is a huge wild and is having elbow issues again. AA also needs to try his best to dump Ozuna and possibly Rosario.

Jansen could potentially wind up with the Mets if the Dodgers give Diaz stupid money.

Do we have the money to get Swanson, jansen, and conforto? That would be a nice offseason

I'd let Jansen go, havent checked which RP's are FA's.

A priority needs to be getting lefty relief pitching. I don't know who exactly, but as of now, we've got Minter and Lee. A Conforto/Duvall pairing might not be the end of the world, either.

[TURBO]

Is luke Jackson coming back next year?

with Jackson and yates signed, maybe so.

Good point

[The Chosen One]

Is luke Jackson coming back next year?

Probably mid summer. He was done in April. TJ is usually 12-13 months.

[bravesnumberone]

Luke is a free agent right?

We're all ignoring the most important off-season question: "Is Duvall back or not?"

Losing him was a huge loss. I am all for bringing Duvall back.

But if Duvall doesn't get hurt, Harris probably doesn't come up for another month (or maybe two). Odd year in that respect. Braves suffer two injuries to starters--Duvall and Albies--and the guys they call up just scorch; Harris for the whole time he was up and Grissom for about a month.

I guess I bring up Duvall because it's pretty clear that both Anthopoulos and Snitker like him. I mean Anthopoulos has traded for him twice and Snitker seems to ignore the meaning of the world "platoon" when it comes to Duvall. I could see him back on a fairly cheap deal taking Heredia's place. Problem there is that I think Duvall has to play somewhat regularly to be any kind of hitter.
