Chopping With The Braves And Rolling With The Tide
None of the guys on that list have the maturity, grittiness, leadership and clutchness we're looking for.
Whoops. That's nsacpi's line.

All will most likely be out of our price range except maybe Ervin if he accepts the qualifying offer.
Hart said he's gonna go the FA route first. And is saying that payroll could go up to 120 million this year. My uncle is a season ticket holder and apparently he's telling them all that. But he could fit somebody in and back load it a little with Uggla's money being gone after next year. Depends on what money he trades away to.
Hart said trade route was more likely than FA route. And he did not say anything about payroll going up to 120M. No matter what your uncle said.
In a phone conversation with not just him but other season ticket holders. That's what was said. Regardless of what you say.

Yeah, the season ticket holder thing seems pretty legit.

I thought it was a well-established fact that we were going to see small -- yet not insignificant -- annual bumps to payroll headed up to 2017.
According to the article, "north of 100M and south of 120M." I have a strong hunch closer to the former. 105M if I had to pick a number with some held in reserve for mid-season moves. But we'll see.
As things currently stand we're at about 98M. Not much room to play with unless some salary is cleared. That's why I think BJ plus cash/prospects for a pitcher with a somewhat burdensome salary is the most likely route.

This is my understanding as well. And I don't think it would be good PR at all for Hart nor the Braves, in the position that he and they are in, to mislead season ticket holders.
Santana can't be traded until June 15th if he accepts the qualifying offer.
I really hope Ervin declines the qualifying offer. Definitely would not mind getting him back but in my opinion we can get another decent veteran for closer to $8-$10M a year and spend that savings elsewhere.
