Our ownership has been utter trash since Ted. I will need to see investment in the team commensurate to baseball-related income to believe it.

Thank you BP for your contributions. Not going to dog anyone who loves playing for the Braves like he does.

Phillips doesn't have the offense for 3B, and player development should be priority. No reason to sign him.
I don't see Phillips coming back. I think the reason it took so long was BP was making sure he'd be playing 2B before he accepted the trade.
I don't think very highly of Ruiz, but this is a good time to give him some AB's and see what we have in him.
Happy for BP - he deserves a chance to play for a playoff team - good for him.
Not sure the kids could have had a better vet around to learn from - like him or not, he just does everything the right way. We know the more numerically-inclined could care less about those types of contributions, but it makes a huge difference for the young players, and almost as importantly to the fans.
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 that we'll ever hear it confirmed either way, but one could also make the argument that trying to gain those savings is simply a smart business decision and that every front office tries to save money whenever possible. You know, since the Angels more or less saved us Albies' salary next season.
Have to be careful when doing that though - wouldn't want to give the brass credit for anything.

We already have an All-Star 3B and his name is Freddie Freeman. /ducks
