Spring Training 2015

Certainly have to figure some trade is on the horizon, not exactly sure for what though.

Every fanbase has bad fans, come on.

I'm not taking about fans. I'm talking about team beat writers trashing former players

There was also speculation about Ben Revere by some on twitter and in the past the Braves were rumored to be one of the teams that made a call on him. But at that time Philly was asking too much, not surprising given their GM as he seems to ask for too much on everyone. Anyway, maybe they're checking on trading for him since he's said to be available.

Whatever the case I wouldn't give up much for Revere as he's not good in CF, -18 DRS last year alone due to poor range, bad routes on balls (which probably is partly why he has poor range despite his speed) and a noodle arm. However, he did lead the league in hits and is a much better corner outfielder. So if we traded for him he'd have value down the road if played there. He could probably be a solid defender in LF (same as EYJ basically) but neither of them look good in CF.

I would definitely take Revere as a corner guy... but hope we get someone with a bit more pop.

I am sorry I didnt hear that. But I still say he could've played himself into the core ie. The guys the Braves couldn't deal. He didn't do that. I don't make s--- up its an opinion!!!!

What part was an opinion?

#Braves roster situation could clear up even before day is through. It's just procedural move of some kind

Seems like Padres are playing a game of "chicken" with someone.

@Ken_Rosenthal: Source: While #Padres have not yet announced roster, they submitted one with both Quentin and Maybin on it. Does not preclude later moves.

I figured we were in a staredown with someone, hence Outman's presence on the roster. May very well be with them.

Padres beat writer.

@JeffSanders_UT: What's the hold-up with #Padres roster? Hearing a trade is in the works and likely.

@Ken_Rosenthal: Source: #Padres have made trade. Players being notified.

Rosenthal says the Pads have made a trade.

I see Francouer has made the Phillies' 25-man roster.

[Hawk]

I wouldn't mind taking a flier on Cameron Maybin. Read that San Diego has been aggressively shopping him (and Carlos Quentin, who I would have zero interest in) as well as offering to eat a sizable chunk of his contract.

Well ... I was thinking something simple like B- prospect for Maybin and Cash.

The part about the Braves media not saying too much about Heyward.

[Heyward]

Wrong thread.

Now that Kimbrel is traded our once great bullpen is history. It all happened so fast too. Wow.
