Last time I checked they don't have two catchers. They have one catcher and one older broken down DH who poses as a catcher and that they hope a team will take off their hands. F the Stankees. They can't have foltyOriginally Posted by bravesguy

As a general principle, I'd be reluctant to overpay at the Catcher position. I prefer a strategy of having two mid-level guys split time, and the market for mid-level guys in free agency has been pretty team friendly recently, relative to other positions. Since we already have Flowers, we're well positioned to go this route if we can acquire another catcher of similar value, like Jason Castro.

Cashman must have a death wish if he makes that trade. It would be like if we traded Francoeur after 05 but he actually drew walks and played a good defense as a catcher. The Braves liked Sanchez before he did a Godzilla stomp through the AL. We almost made a huge trade with the Yankees with Andrelton, Heywood, Carpenter and others for Sanchez and a few other prospects. Ended up just being the Carpenter and Shreve for Banuelos trade.

The Yankees trading Sanchez would be like the New York Knights trading Roy Hobbs.

Folty/Mallex is probably the price for McCann, not Sanchez.
hahahaha

were you serious?
Sanchez is pretty much the hottest young player in the majors right now... he will most definitely regress just glancing at his minor league numbers (and he did start to regress towards the end of the year), but the hype is all with him right now. They may decide to sell high on him, but with no real replacement for him, and with them in rebuild mode... I highly doubt it.
Sanchez is a pipe dream. Yanks won't move him; it'd be equivalent to the Braves dealing away Andruw after the '96 series.
I'm on the McCann bandwagon depending on the prospect and financial cost.
It's close to the asking price, no chance in hell we give up Folty.

Was Folty to NY actually discussed or did the newbie just pull this out of his back hole?
Not that I'm aware of - certainly not recently. IIRC, there were several supposed versions of the rumored J-Hey/Andrelton/etc. deal that was discussed, not sure if he might have been a piece in any of that mess or not.
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?

I think Folty was one of the players the Yankees wnlanted back for McCann. And that's was without eating a significant portion of his salary.

A recent article by the New York Post was published stating New York's continued interest and Folty. It's all over Twitter

I think it was talkingchop.com or something similar who just came out with an article that said earlier in the year, the asking price for McCann was Folty and the braves declined. I would imagine that McCanns price has to come down from that AND the yanks eat a significant portion of the money to make it work for the braves. I'd love to have McCann back to work with our young pitchers etc, but i dont care how much the yanks eat of his contract, i'm not giving them a ton in prospect value. But thats just me...
On a side note, i did see in on the same website that the Braves could go after Verlander if Detroit decides to cut salary like the GM publicly suggested the other day. Would you be interested in bringing Verlander and the good Upton (Kate) to Atlanta as one of the supposed 2 pitchers we want to bring in this offseason?
This. I don't for a second think we should give up Folty for McCann, but that's more likely to be what the Yankees find fair.
Jason Martinez (the analyst I like the least of all the legit sites) at MLBTR seems to think the cost for Mac is Folty plus more. No way in hell should the Braves give up Folty for Mac, no matter how much money the Yankees eat.
That's ridiculous. I say there's zero chance we actually do that
Mac put up a .9 WAR last year..
If you use the $7 mill per War, he was a negative value player by a lot.
Folty put up 1.4 WAR last year.
If you use the ....you know the rest..
That is not even taking in the fact the age and controllability between the two.
For anyone to say the starting point for Mac is Folty is just delusional.. The starting point for Folty is Mac plus 10 mill/year + another prospect..
