Unlikely #Braves trade B.J. before season; other teams don't want to pay any of $; ATL doesn't want to give away Gattis to get rid of B.J.

That's probably the best courses to take. He will have less years and cash commitment after this year and he couldn't possibly lower his value anymore.

#Braves hitting coach Kevin Seitzer will start workouts with B.J. in a few days. B.J. has expressed to Braves he will be diff. player in '15
Chopping With The Braves And Rolling With The Tide
BJ is still an all world athlete (perhaps top 10 in all of MLB) who should be perfectly capable of hitting a baseball. I doubt he bounces back much at all, but there is no way his skills have declined to the point he is the worst player in the game.

If BJ ends up bouncing back to "solid starter" status in a re-building season when that would have been invaluable in either of the last two years, I am going to hurt somebody. Maybe SAV.

I think we would all have more patience with BJ if he actually ran out a ground ball occasionally or played hard in the OF.
BJ and Fredi still here, Heyward already gone and Justin soon to follow.
MUKAKI REBUILD
Best case scenario is BJ is for him to be like Alex Rios.
Rios goes from being sub replacement level or a 4 WAR guy. Without an in between. It's uncanny.
I would hit BJ only against lefties. See if he can build up some value as a platoon guy.
