GDT #19 4/21/14: Marlins (Koehler) @ Braves (Teheran), 7:10

What would you guys need to see to justify giving Gattis a 5 year deal past this year? THat would bring him to age 33 I believe.

I don't see the need, unless it was incredibly team friendly. They have the money to go year to year with him - less risky that way too. JMO.

Given he arrived in the majors at a late age, we are best off taking him through arbitration year by year.

He also doesn't start arbitration till 2016 so we have time to wait and see a bit too.

Fair enough...I feel like hte DH is coming to the NL and I would prefer to have Gattis be the Atlanta Braves first DH.

[thethe]

I would need to see dragons.

I must say I'm shocked that you feel this way. I just wish at some point you would admit you were wrong about him.

Wrong about what?

[NinersSBChamps]

You are done because your argument is getting debunked?

Making him your avatar.

Yeah, I got to watch that horrible finish. Ugh....

[thethe]

Making him your avatar.

That would all but assure him of a future of pure suckage.

Change it someone on the Nats!

Take one for the team.

I would need to know more about the condition of his knees.

[gilesfan]

I would need to know more about the condition of his knees.

thethe's or Gattis?

[50PoundHead]

thethe's or Gattis?

I trust that thethe's knees are in superb condition.

[thethe]

I agree..you don't hear too much come out but he does seem to rest a lot.

[NinersSBChamps]

Ownership is too cheap to hire a janitor. So when Gattis rests he isn't resting.

[nsacpi]

The surgery he had this off-season was for a bone chip that he says has been bothering him since he hurt his knee in college six years ago.

[NinersSBChamps]

Tonight's lineup is out and it's same as last night I believe.

#Braves have traded INF Tyler Greene to the Padres in exchange for a player to be named later. Greene was with AAA Gwinnett.

I didn't see why we re-signed him in the first place. Bad baserunner and poor defender whereever you put him. Plus he cannot hit much so makes sense to trade or release him.

Huston Street welcome to the Braves!
