    Only thing i'll say is Mish broke the Ozuna/Yelich trades, so he's not just a mouthpiece to the Marlins. He knows something.

    Not sure if the Braves are in on Realmuto but he keeps saying they are. I'd be ok going cheap with the outfield i guess if they got Realmuto.

    No. Teams have their own evaluations of prospects. Everyone has seen his stuff and knows he's not good.

    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?

    I saw they'd do Rosario or Nimmo, but not Conforto. But Heyman said not much progress is made and Mets moved onto defensive options at catcher.

    The Marlins are going to waste Realmuto's value by holding out for unreasonable packages in an attempt to make up for poor returns on their other assets.

    Folks clamoring for new owners of the Braves need to wake up and see that the scenario going down in Miami is just as likely to happen with new owners as the scenario they are all dreaming about. Chances are a new owner will be meddlesome, incompetent, and install lackeys in positions of power...without raising payroll a bit. The grass isn't always greener.

    Morosi- #Tigers have spoken with multiple teams this week about a Nick Castellanos trade, source says, but a deal is not close. #Braves are one of the most interested clubs. @MLB @MLBNetwork

    I get the feeling Fried or Touki would be going back to the Fish if we do trade for Realmuto.

    I'd do Fried/Newk and a lesser piece, idk if Miami would.

    We should be all over Castellanos. He's a butcher in right but wouldn't hurt as bad in left. IIRC, he's a FA after this season so the cost shouldn't be outrageous in terms of prospects.

    Go ahead and trade for Realmuto and Castellanos. Offense would be set and wouldn't have any holes in it.

    I'd try to include Julio in the deal to offset the salary with prospects, but he would be a great fit, dude rakes.

    I wouldnt say "no" holes but a top 8 of Realmuto, FF, Albies, Swanson, JD, Castellanos, Ender, Acuna is pretty damn formidable.

    We'd still need a starter and/or bullpen piece

    This feels like Winter 01-02 when Steve Phillips traded for everyone to the Mets to try and overtake us... Mo Vaughn, Alomar, Burnitz, D'Amico. Then we crushed that by acquiring The Vinster SVOD and The Sheff.

    We'd have money for a bullpen guy once some of the top guys like Kimbrel, Britton, Ottavino go off the board, but in that scenario we'd need to move Flowers and/or JT to get a starter.

    Yes please... would be a blow to the system, but the offense would be incredible.

    Acuna RF
    Donaldson 3B
    Freeman 1B
    Realmuto C
    Castellanos LF
    Albies 2B
    Ender CF
    Swason SS

    That's insane.

    His expected BA based upon how he actually hit the ball the last 2 season is about 20 points lower than it "should" be, so that accounts for most of the projected drop in BA from .280+ to .260. Maybe Haniger is a guy who can maintain a BABIP in the .330s. I haven't run my projections for him to make my own determination, but I would tend to doubt a guy sustains a BABIP in the high .330s as well.

    His barrel rate and LD/FB exit velocity suggests he should carry a HR/FB rate around 17%+, so his career rate of 15.6% is likely suppressed a bit by the ballpark in Seattle. In fact, his career HR/FB rate away from Seattle is 16.7% and lines up pretty well with what I expect from him based on the values I use to project HR rate. I see no reason to project him for an ISO under .200, and would actually expect it to rise a bit if he leaves Seattle.

    The projected BB/K rates of 9.5% and 22.1% seems legit, and I would probably project the BB a bit higher, probably closer to 10%.

    Without running my full projection system on Haniger, I would probably peg his 2019 season at about .270/.360/.480 (.840 OPS) with ~25 HRs.

    Except for that hole in LF where doubles routinely fall.

    Haniger seems like a real possibility. i have to think AA is working hard to work something out.
