Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...
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?
Yeah I'd say overall as a player not much difference between Harper and Camargo last year. Outside of 1 year, Harper is ridiculous overrated. The point is wasting a chunk of resources on a closer who may be declining when we already have relievers that are solid would be incredibly stupid
Kimbrel's 2017 looks like an outlier at this point. His FIP fWAR the last 4 seasons
1.5
1.2
3.3
1.5
IMO his days (like he was in Atlanta) of being a consistent 2+ fWAR reliever are over. And if you pay him like he's going to be that guy then it's a mistake. The real question is how you view Minter going forward because we have a pretty good idea of what Kimbrel will be.
There would be people running it. I did run the Boston Marathon in the most brutal weather of its history. 40 degrees, driving rain to the face and 30 mph winds. Many of the elite runners dropped out. It was my one and only shot at Boston so I finished. An experience I’ll never forget. Sorry about the hijack.

Also how did he have bad luck last year? According to BABIP against he actually had some of his best luck ever with a .218 (.260 career)... or is this just one of those cases you chose to not look at the stats and just ramble off what you thought happened. But it's clear his 2018 was not influenced by bad luck as you claim.
You guys bored talking about the Braves?
Has any players stock fallen as far and as fast as Mike Moustakas?
Daily JTR talk.....
Jan. 31: Talks involving Realmuto have reached “advanced stages,” reports Frisaro, though he also reports that there are still four clubs alive in the bidding: the Padres, Reds, Dodgers and Braves.
Last night, MLB.com’s Jon Morosi tweeted that the Padres are currently a bigger player than the Dodgers in the Realmuto market, though with a quartet of suitors still in play, it stands to reason that the perceived “favorite” can change quickly. Frisaro notes that the Rays and Astros have all but dropped out of the bidding at this point.
Get off my lawn!
All right, I'm bored.
So, here goes:
ATL trades Inciarte, Camargo and Allard to Cleveland for Kluber
ATL trades Anderson, Wentz and Jenista to the Dodgers for Pederson
ATL signs Adam Jones 1 YR $8M
ATL signs Matt Holliday 1 YR $2M
ATL signs Derek Dietrich 1 YR $3M
ATL trades Teheran plus $6M to Texas for C/1B Sam Huff
ATL cuts Duvall
Net payroll add about $18M
Gives you:
CF Acuna
RF Markakis/Jones
LF Pederson/Holliday
1B Freeman
2B Albies
SS Swanson
3B Donaldson
C McCann/Flowers
Bench: Jones, Holliday, Flowers, Culberson, Dietrich
Rotation: Kluber, Folty, Newk, Gausman, Toussaint
Pen: Viz, Minter, O'Day, Venters, Biddle, Winkler, Carle
I don’t see the Reds getting JTR. The FO said they wouldn’t overpay for anybody and are comfortable with what they have. It’s a 3 team race imo.
There is absolutely no way two years of Joc Pederson would cost Anderson, Wentz and Jenista.
