Chopping With The Braves And Rolling With The Tide
I'd trade him for Profar and Martin Perez.

It's hard for me to think of scenario where trading McCann would make sense for us this year.
So you'd say no for just Profar? lolOriginally Posted by zitothebrave
They're inquiring. Might as well trade him higher.

Oh man....if they wanted to give us Profar I would jump for joy.
I know we are in it to win this year but if you get an offer that blows you away you have to take it. Move forward with Gattis/CB as your catcher and then have profar slide right into 2B. WOW!
Yeah so when you ask for both, they LOL to death and you never hear from them again. Back in reality, we aren't getting Profar for Mac, I'd certainly take Perez and another prospect or 2, though.
BUT if for some reason they offered Profar for Mac, you accept right away.
If they'd trade us Profar we'd be crazy to say no (esp. since we're probably letting Mac walk after the season).
This doesn't make us better this year though, and we have a legit shot at the World Series this year.
You don't trade one of your best hitters when half the lineup has been struggling for most of the year. If we weren't in contention, I'd definitely consider the right offer.
We should have countered with Gattis for Profar.

That would be another great trade for the Braves.

I like it — but can we add Uggla to that package?
An all-Curaçao middle-infield could lead to some cool double-dutch DPs.

Either way we'd lose our current edge in bald white guys but, in Jurickson Bartholomeus Profar, we'd increase our lead in Curacao-born infielders with awesome names.

Do McCann for profar, then move Chris Johnson this winter when his value is high, then slide Simba over to 3b, and boom, leadoff problem solved.

WUT!?!?!?
Are you serious?
No one in their right mind would want Profar at short over Simmons. Profar can play second or third.
Absolutely. Simba has the arm for it. Then he could hit in the two hole, and your
Lineup would be thickened out;
Profar
Simmons
Heyward
J-Up
Freeman
Uggla
Gattis
BJ
Pitcher
