    Tough to gauge his trade value. Maybe they want Teheran and we can get a good prospect back with him.

    Gimmie Renfroe over Dickerson if the cost is reasonable

    So Morosi is going to start a bunch of rumors about the Braves because he thinks they are looking for an OFer?

    Renfroe is a high power, high K rate, low walk rate OFer with poor defense. He is the exact type of player that has lost almost all value over the last 5 years.

    I’m hoping the Braves set their sights higher to fill LF. Maybe a player that’s actually good? Or is that too expensive?

    Renfroe has been very good vs lefties but quite bad vs righties. He would go good with someone in platoon that hits righties well enough. While a RHH, Lane Adams had reverse splits hitting righties very well but not even hitting .150 vs lefties. However, it was a small sample and mostly pinch hitting AB's too. So not much to go on. Still, the two might make a solid platoon.

    Hey I heard the Braves are looking to add an OF. Trout might be a fit.

    He at least has an EVEN DRS so far in MLB, a 1 DRS in RF last year so not so poor in results yet. I would prefer a better player too, but since he makes the league minimum at least we know we can afford him. :)

    That would be a good platoon, if not for Markakis it might work too. How about flip Markakis and 4-5 million to Baltimore and pick up Dickerson? That saves 6 million at least on Markakis and spends the same on Dickerson. I rather have Dickerson than Markakis.

    And so would any team that would ever consider taking Markakis.

    No team is going to do the Braves a favor by taking Markakis so the Braves can get Dickerson. They would just get Dickerson for themselves.

    The orioles are the x-factor. They love Markakis and they make moves that don’t make sense. As long as they have an OF need I give us a greater than 0% chance of trading Neck.

    I didn't say it was likely, but the O's fondness for Markakis might not totally rule out such a move at some point.

    This would be a great idea if Renfroe was actually good.

    or even decent chance of being average.

    Wait. Why is he so bad now. Dude had a high k rate his first full year in the bigs and he is a bust? His minor league numbers don’t suggest he will be a 30%. His bat plays RF fine with averageish defense. I would take a flyer on him

    Me too, if the price is right. I am biased though

    I think his minor league numbers definitely show a high k-rate. aggressive approach with low-to-mid 20s k-rate leads me to believe that will be exploited at the highest level. FG did not have him as an average defender, either. if the price was basically zero, sure. dickerson is a far better bet, IMO.

    How about a 40 less lbs Blair or wisler with a B prospect too?

    The issue isn’t Renfroe. The issue is the Braves punted 2018 so they could have a lot of money in 2019 to fix 3b and LF. If those fixes are going to be Riley and Renfroe, why did they punt 2018?

    I’m hoping they have their sites set much higher for 2019.

    If the Price is low enough, Renfroe wouldn't necessarily change those plans. If he repeats 2017 or is worse, then he's a replacement level player and not likely to be guaranteed a starting spot. If he gets markedly better offensively, we have a cheap LF masher for the next few seasons.

    As long as the cost is low enough, I don't see how this could be considered a bad move.
