    For whatever reason, anytime I saw Roark pitch against the Braves, he owned them. So I’m not exactly sorry to see him leave the division.

    Braves assistant GM says that it doesn’t make sense to go all in for one specific year...

    This is old and pisses me off as a fan. I’m excited about a good farm system because we can get whoever we want. We have money to spend on FAs....

    I want to see the ATLANTA Braves win...not the Mississippi Braves....

    If you aren’t willing to go all in, there is no reason to sign Donaldson

    A move will be made that isn't "going all in"

    It's possible to do all of these things at once. We don't have to punt next year to compete this year, and vice versa. The farm system is there to do both, stockpile the big league club with talent to help us win, and acquire big league talent to help us win.

    I don't think waiting around for an OF to be sitting there in late January is a very smart plan for a team just entering their window of contention.

    Again, if the signing of JD forces AA to wait until January to sign Markakis because he couldn't afford Brantley/Cutch in December, the JD contract was a mistake and AA misread the cOF market.
    Or Brantley is left out in the cold and eventually has no choice but to take the two-year deal AA presumably has or will offer.

    I have no doubt it's a common occurrence. Probably not something we'd ever hear about if not for it being at the end of the winter meetings.

    So AA said signing a FA with a pick attached to them isn’t a problem and then Pollock was mentioned. I wouldn’t mind him at all in RF.

    I'd rather have Brantley... I can't imagine he'd be more expensive and Pollock actually had a long history of being injury prone. Brantley does not... he just had the one big injury that took a long time to come back from.

    I agree, im not interested in pollock because of your point about how injury prone he's been and the likely cost.

    Personally, I think I'm a pass on both of them. Brantley would be fine, but his injury history does scare me. It scares me less than Pollock's, who I'm completely out on, but it scares me nonetheless. I don't know if we should want to take on any heightened injury risk after signing Donaldson and McCann. It just feels like we would be setting ourselves up to get shredded by injuries during the season.

    But, if the Front Office feels comfortable with Brantley's medicals and thinks he could play 140 for us without much problem, then I would defer to them since they have more information on that subject.
