Kemp was a mistake in order to try and once again contend before the Braves were really supposed to. It was a mistake that the Braves made over and over again. Thankfully AA has finally put an end to it.
You hype players beyond belief all the time beyond reasonable expectations. I am somewhat in agreement with you on Camargo for example because I like his defense and he has a chance to develop into an average player/super utility guy. But you do this for every player the Braves get. You hyped Jace after a half season and deemed the Upton trade a success because Jace was going to be a 2 WAR player for 6 years. You take small samples and deem them absolute.

i must admit i don't understand why some get so upset at fans being perhaps overly-positive about their team and its players. it seems to bother some far more than it should. this is the internet, it's harmless, it's fun and games.

The point is you project everyone to reach their top 5th percentile outcome. Perez’s Top 5th percentile outcome was a #5, so that’s what you pegged him as in a jubilant post.
Make 20 such projections, and math dictates you’ll be right once.
Here’s your latest round of silly predictions:
Fried ermergs as a potential TOR canddiate 11/3/2017
He (Allard) will be top 20 by the ed of next season 2/5/2018
sentiment will change quickly this season....Newcomb will be providing his prime performance 2/7/2018
For the next 5 years I think 15 WAR is a decent baseline to put out there. If he obtains that we should all be happy. I happen to believe that Newk has elite level stuff and it won't be a consistent leveled production. I could see him languishing at around 2 WAR for the next year or two and then make a big jump in 2020 to 5+ 2/8/2018
Altuve is a reasonable comp for Albies 2/8/2018
(Because of Pache) We will be shopping ender in the next year 2/11/2018
