Chopping With The Braves And Rolling With The Tide
Considering the alternative ...

They would...they did all the trades
What does mid 16 mean? Are we buying at the deadline?
As for a timetable when the Braves will be competing for a championship again, that's changing, too.
"Some in our group would say mid-2016," Schuerholz said. "Some would say early 2017. I'd be happy with either one of those."
Lol mid 2016. Good PR speak there Jonny. I do think if our talent comes up and exceeds expectations we could compete this year but that's assuming all the right buttons are pressed.

You never know. A lot of people critisized the Astros for trading for Gattis since they werent likely to compete. Thinking back on it I remember a lot of our young prospects having their best years in their first few years as Braves. Francoeur, McCann, Jurrjens, Hanson, Davies, Charles Thomas, Langerhans, Kelly Johnson, Giles, etc. I think the turnaround will come mid 2017 and we have a strong second half going into 2018 when we will really be contenders. After 2018 we sign Bryce Harper and go to 10 straight world series...... and win 1.

Well we did add some offense, and we certainly didn't lose much offense. People want to talk about our abysmal offense from last year, but our pitching was every bit as bad. Poor BP depth, a rotation full of truggling rookies and the struggles of JT. IMO, we should be much better in every facet of the game in 2016, aside from may be defense.

Wonder if we'd be willing to take Aaron Hill's $12 million for this year to get Drury back?
Arroyo/Toussaint Part 2 perhaps.
Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...
Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

Not as smart as Meta, but way smarter than Zito.

YES! After the first half of the 2016 season in which we got 28-53, we're gonna start competing! Might be kinda late to qualify for the WS, though.
LOL
