    Absolutely, but that's who he reminds me of when he's on. No shame in being another Ryan Dempster though. Hopefully he has that long of a career.

    Problem is Dempster wasn't good until he was 31 and with his 3rd team. The Braves wouldn't benefit much from Folty being the next Dempster.

    Losing the #8 pick is likely the worst case scenario, so hopefully that doesn't happen.
    That's a very good point. It is very possible many of these international infractions are from this past class due to our 300k limit restriction. I could see us bending tons of rules to sign guys who shouldn't been signable at that low price.

    Should the braves have hoarded pitching prospects? Honestly likely no but still.
    Dave Cameron is always hyperbolic, especially when it comes to downplaying the Braves organization.

    This is similar to "lack of institutional control".
    First step should be lawyering up with whoever UNC had then...

    They offered a severance package, likely so he would agree to shut up, and he rejected it.

    It should be no surprise he isn't going to quietly accept being scapegoated.

    I'm trying not to leap to conclusions, but the fact that he was offered a severance package is awfully stinky. If he were filthy and the buck stops with him, it seems like they could easily fire him for cause and call it a day.

    Clean house, please.

    If Coppolella follows through on a lawsuit, discovery is going to suuuuuuuck.

    I mean, it’ll be hilarious, if only to see how Jeff Wren tweets through several consecutive orgasms, but it’ll still be bad for the organization.

    maybe the Braves were cheap with the severance offer.

    That would also guarantee he’d never work in organized baseball again. But if the reports of his personality are true, that might have been the case anyway.

    I think odds are against a lawsuit, but if it's filed I'd go all in that it never sees a courtroom.

    Honestly, as much as I dislike Hart and even JS and want them out, I'm just looking forward to all of this being over with so we can concentrate on baseball. Where, in 2018, I think we can have a pretty good team if we play our cards right.

    Will be funny if JS and Hart get shoved out and Bobby is interim GM once again.

    Agreed. We need quite a few breaks to go our way, but for the first time in years those breaks are actually plausible.
