chatwood is a species of deadwood i believe

Meh, the "committed to the kids" mantra is the result of the poor offseason, not the original gameplan. At this point, they have to say that. Also, everyone with a brain realizes they don't "have to blow the next decade" to trade a few pieces to make this current team more competitive.
This is all white washing.
Why the race card?

Haha I call bull sh*t...
The blowpen was utterly awful last season and the front office did NOTHING to address it...not even a non roster invitee or an aging vet on a minor league deal hoping to find lightning in a bottle.
Like last season, this team will pitch its way out of contention being the division is better.

A full year of Sobotka and Venters in that pen is gonna be solid at worst

O'Day and Venters...i do agree though that it would have been a good move to also add Bud Norris, something I have strongly advocated

Allard's spring -- 6 IP, 5 BB, 0 K.
Trout will go where the money is. And unlike now, there stands to be all of the big market bidders competing against them. The Dodgers, Angels, Nats, Red Sox, and Yanks all stand to have close to, if not over, 100 million in payroll space by 2021.
Since Riley's 0/5 5 k, 1 bb start, he's 4/11 0 k, 1 bb

Looks good to me

Trout is going to get paid. But I bet he goes to an actual contender and not someone like the Angels who have shown they can't put a good product on the field for whatever reason. I do hope he doesn't go to the NL East though.
I don't think you watched baseball at all last season then. The BP was very good last season. The only bad pitchers we had that threw significant innings were, Jackson (bounced back and forth from AAA), Moylan (who didn't pitch after July), and Freeman. Viz, Biddle, Winkler, Carle, Minter, and Brach were very good and all except Brach are returning. We also get (hopefully) a healthy O'Day, and likely one of the kids will spend a good amount of time in the pen (my bet is Fried).
i think the pen was closer to average than very good. some solid guys but no one that was dominant that you could really rely on. i would've liked to see it bolstered at least a little.

It was an average pen. There were a couple key guys who lost effectiveness toward year (Winkler and Biddle), partly because they had injury histories that had prevented them from experiencing what it was like to pitch deep into a season under playoff pressure. I think they have a better idea now of what kind of rigors are involved and will be better prepared (both mentally and physically) for a long season.

i think this named norris could've helped. i hadn't seen anyone mention him.

Sobokta is likely the best of the bunch. Didn’t see him til what August ?

You're missing the point. The Braves would be taking Chatwood TO GET Happ. Anything they get from Chatwood is gravy.
