Side note, shows Jose Ramirez at $700k and Lindgren at $600k, both possible non tender candidates....
According to Enscheff's math combined with MLBTraderumors expected arbitration salaries, that puts us at $82m payroll...I'd consider a trade of Teheran if we can get someone to cover most if not all his salary. Non-tender Duvall to save the $3.1m there...that would free up about $14m...if our payroll is expected to be around $120m, but keep around $10m for in season additions ($110m pre-season) that leaves us around $42m to spend on corner outfielder, primary catcher, bullpen, and bench
Get off my lawn!
Duvall at $3.1M looks to be a pretty obvious NT candidate, as are Lindgre and Ramirez.
Winkler and Freeman at a combined $3M are probably worth keeping around depending on how tight payroll ends up being and what the plans are for guys like Touki, Wilson, Fried, Gohara, and Newk.
The rest are easy decisions to keep.
I expect the opening day payroll to be around $120M, not the overall season payroll. The overall season payroll should be higher than $120M if the Braves are in contention, and less if they aren't (which would lead to selling off some payroll at the deadline).

Any interest in tommy Pham?
Paying Julio to pitch for someone else AND paying Anibal to pitch for the Braves likely isn't one of those scenarios.
Don't misunderstand, the depth would be great. The thing is, some combination of Soroka/Touki/Gohara/Wright/Wilson/Fried should at the very least match Julio's production and wouldn't leave you wondering what to do with him in the playoffs like this year.
I'm all for having ONE of them as your "veteran presence" (although one could argue Folty and Gausman are getting close to being considered that), I just don't see a need for two of those now that several of the kids have gotten their feet wet and haven't looked terribly overwhelmed.

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?

If the Braves don't get someone projected to be at least a 3 WAR cOFer then they have failed this offseason

Braves have money, and prospects to add really anyone they want.
A Brantley or Pollock in FA, or an Ozuna (if hes avail), Marte, Peralta, etc in trade. I bitch about the catcher situation but theres not many great catchers available. Too many teams are gonna be in on Grandal me thinks.
i hate to get involved but i really don't understand criticizing someone for projecting the braves for 75-78 wins just in general. but it makes even less sense when you yourself predicted the same thing. i just don't understand.

The 3 bWAR you are seeing has the 3B position factor baked into it. So that number automatically goes down by moving to LF whether he is average out there or not.
And we can easily see this with Markakis who had the same OPS as Johan and played all 162 games. He was listed as 2.6 owar on bref.
In fact Neck is essentially the player you are describing. He was +1 in both UZR and DRS (average defensively) and overall was a 2.6 WAR player.
