No issue it all with this. Better to have Lindgren hold a 40-man spot than Chase d'Arnaud.

Agreed. Good guy to stash
Could be a high leverage bullpen arm by the middle of 2018. I'm sure this is based on the advice of blackley.
Outstanding slider
And this is why I'm not as concerned about trading prospects for an impact major leaguer. This front office is showing that they can acquire high ceiling talent without the benefit of top picks. It's great to have an elite front office again.
Hard not to like this signing.
Just so I'm clear on the logic here:Originally Posted by thethe
The Braves signed an injured BP pitcher and that makes up for trading away elite talent?
PosiBraves assemble!! We gave up Newcomb, but our elite FO replaced him with Lingred!!

Good low-risk signing.
Jon Heyman mentioned something about Daniel Hudson having interest by 16 teams even after 2 Tommy John surgeries. With our stacked relievers in the majors and ready to come up to the bigs soon, wouldn't it make sense to see if a team would overpay for any of our relievers if it can get us useful offensive pieces?
Right now the FO is stashing the most valuable commodity in the game. Maybe not this off season but they will most definetly trade from their BP depth for very nice returns.
Posibraves aside this is a great move. But just keep trolling your negative crap

It's gotten to the point, that on each thread we can expect some type of negative/spiteful remark by him.

Good low-cost move, of course captain smartass takes everything so seriously.
That is exactly what I said.

I'll forever be amazed at how much you care
Lindgren is filthy. Great signing.
Yup. Fans are going to wonder how the heck we got this guy by the end of the 2018 season.

We control him but just have to tender a contract every year until service time is used.
I think that is the case anyway.
Got to stash him on the 40 man for about 18 months before he can be expected to contribute. 40 man log jams in the future will have to be managed.
I had hoped that the Braves would have drafted him after he finished up at Mississippi State.
If arodys has a healthy effective season I could see him being flipped for a nice prospect.
