    Grandal, Brantley, Camargo with Asdrubal on the bench

    Vs

    Mac, Markakis, JD with Camargo on the bench and not losing a pick in the 60s, plus whatever they add around the edges

    I know which I would have preferred.

    I think they may be taking money on to lesson prospect capitol on a trade. Could be wrong.

    Agree. He will play in a lot of games. I think thethe meant if he starts more than 80 games. Which I would add another caveat. If he starts more than 80 games and we don’t improve another position then it sucks.

    Worst thing is the lineup is going to go R R L L with low power at 4 and the best power on the team at 1.

    Wow.
    Hopefully we still make another move and spend some money but I guess I shouldn’t be shocked that we went cheap.Yay Liberty.
    Spend a little on one year deals for Vets so that way you can show the people you are trying to be competive....

    That’s the only acceptable outcome after this signing.

    Well if they sign Pollack and platoon the 2 that wouldn't be bad BUT they now have the money to actually pursue Machado. If they could somehow sign him and trade Swanson+ for Kluber I wouldn't be upset AT ALL with this move.

    ......waking up from my dream .......

    We actually resigned Markakis......SIGH!

    I can’t wait for Fat Bowman to explain where that $60M the Braves had to spend went.

    This would likely require either a $140M payroll in 2019, or a $130M payroll and the Reds to trade for Teheran.

    At this point I’ll hold out hope for scenarios like this haha.

    Somebody must've given AA a spanking when he was summoned to headquarters during the Winter Meetings to remind him he was broke following the Donaldson signing and he took it to heart.
    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?

    For only 4 mil i guess it isnt bad, but there HAS to be another move coming.

    You cant have 4 of your hitters in the lineup being a platoon at C, Nick, Ender and Swanson, you just cant.

    Sign Markakis.

    Give Teheran to the dumb Reds.

    Sign Machado.

    Trade Swanson for JTR.

    Build the best offense in the NL.

    Profit.

    Wonder if the signing could possibly preclude a Duvall release? That would recover a chunk of the money they're paying him, and if they make it a strict platoon those ABs go to Camargo or Riley (at some point).
