Get off my lawn!
Can Bautista play first base so we can give Freddie a rest?
Natural Immunity Croc
Come on guys. He literally went 2-3 the next day. He is going to have bad days occasionally. Probably stretches of bad days.
Coppy
Pretty sure he will do fine...not great, but average. A average Bautista is better than most.
Read somewhere in 9 at bats at extended spring training he had a homer double and single....
1-3 with a single and a walk for Florida today
Get off my lawn!
Royals suck
Most contenders have a good 3b and or dh
What would it take to get moose? Wisler is a cheap arm with control. Comargo plus wisler too low? Maybe they would want to go full rebuild and get prospects.
Moose at 3b and Bautista as 3b vs lefties or of. That might be a good offense.
Flaherty and Camargo is fine, if we made a trade, i'd go for a controllable BP arm.

Trade camargo for half a year of Moose? No thanks
Camargo is in line for a good season and can be a piece in a major deal after Riley proves he's ready
I don't see us trading for another third baseman after adding Joey Bats to go with Camargo and RF. Bowman said Joey Bats could join the team at third within the next week:

The Braves have been encouraged by what they’ve seen from Bautista, who could possibly join Atlanta’s roster within the next week
If Joey Bats shows he has something left in the tank, I wouldn't be surprised if AA trades Markakis and we end up with an outfield of Acuna-Inciarte-Bautista/Tucker at some point. Then Camargo could play more the second half at third base.
Have a feeling that Muk is going to be sold off in the next 2 months. Tucker platooning with Bautista in left and Acuna every day in right.
No way they platoon Camargo.
Lol....we basically had the same thought at the same time. Agree 100% with this

Yea, that's funny. See, we can agree on things. JK. :)
What are they doing now with comargo?
Can’t we all agree moose is 2 wins better than f/c platoon?
I’m saying he could go cheap. I wouldn’t give up a top 20 in our system guy.
He just came back from an injury / rehab assignment.
You'd trade Camargo who could be a valuable piece to use later on, and Wisler for a guy who we'd have for half a year.
And Moose isnt very good defensively, RF/JC are at least decent on defense.
If the Braves wanted Moose, they would have signed him in the offseason. By not doing so it showed they either didn’t have the funds to buy him, or they didn’t want him. Why would either of them change now? Neither of the players you named would save us any money necessary to take on his salary this season.
If the Braves trade Markakis and at least save 5 million in doing so, then they could probably afford Moose if they wanted him. But either way I expect Moose to cost more in a trade at the deadline than Camargo if he keeps hitting. Wisler's trade value is still zero IMO, one start won't change that. He'll need to show he can repeat that more games before he has any value again.
I have little faith that we'll sell Markakis. I know we have a new GM. But JS/McGuirk were never big on including money in a trade. Never really understood why.
I can't imagine any team willing to bring on Markakis and his salary. Even if only for 3 months. He's way too overpaid.
