2018 Offseason And Targets

[jpx7]

Even at 8m or 10m I'd prefer the other three options.

Yea I’m in that boat of thinking Markakis at $8 million—a bit of a steal if you figure he’s a 1.0–1.5-war cOF still—is nonetheless undesirable. And I think that sort of move is contingent on making a more expensive move at either C or SP, where you concentrate even more value in the next 2-3 years versus longterm. Even the FA options there—basically Keuchel and Grandal—hurt, considering likely contract length and, moreover, forfeiture of draft-slot money. And I think the Braves really need to maximize their returns with this upcoming draft, given their upward trajectory, the international penalties and corollary thinning of lower-level depth, and their failure to sign Stewart last draft.

According to MLBTR, Grandal turned down 4/60 from the Mets before they signed Ramos. Time will tell if that was a wise choice.

[The Chosen One]

why are you being such a debbie downer?

Uh, I wasn't.

[Acuña’s Bat Flip]

Put me in the anyone but Markakis or Cargo column . Corey Dickerson or Joc Pederson would be fine with me but I'm still want JTR or Grandal because they make our lineup better and the need in LF isn't as urgent. I just don't want Markakis back.

What is wrong with CarGo?

[Hulavol]

Yeah - what’s wrong with cargo?

[BeanieAntics]

Are we being serious? Cargo hasn't had a wRC+ above 100 since 2016 despite benefitting from Coors to the tune of a .941 OPS at home as opposed to a .663 OPS on the road.

Cargo should not even be a fall back option for us.

0.4 War Same player as Markakis to me. We have light hitters at C,SS, and CF. Do we need another one in LF?
Flowers can't hit RHP and McCann can't hit LHP. Ender can't hit LHP and I'm not sure what Dansby can hit.

[jpx7]

What is wrong with CarGo?

Yeah - what’s wrong with cargo?

He’s not very good anymore? I might prefer him to Markakis, because he’s likely to be a better defender, but I also wouldn’t be surprised if Markakis has the better year at the plate in 2019.

[elmore80]

We are not gonna see alot of Flowers framing when he's on the bench against RHP.

[Carp]

What is wrong with CarGo?

Yeah - what’s wrong with cargo?

Because he's terrible defensively and his numbers away from Coors recently have been horrible.

Grandal's running out of suitors - Angels just signed Lucroy.

I believe wRC+ control for ballpark. Cargo is pretty similar to Muk.

Probably gonna stay a dodger

[Southcack77]

I don't think he will either, but I've heard several fans suggest that number as a way to keep him on a 1 year deal. Personally, I wouldn't give him 1/10 unless it was as an absolute last resort kind of move.

Bob, I bid 1$.

[nsacpi]

I'm surprised he hasn't been connected to the phillies

[BeanieAntics]

118 wRC+ at Coors with a 79 wRC+ away from Coors.

Cargo is a huge risk to fall off the map in another home stadium.

[msstate7]

Please no... that would be bad

[jpack1]

I’m gonna say he missed the boat here if true.

According to MLBTR, Grandal turned down 4/60 from the Mets before they signed Ramos. Time will tell if that was a wise choice.

[Southcack77]

Since December 2015:

Cargo 98 wRC+ vs righties away from coors.

26 wRC+ vs lefties away from Coors.

Negative defender.

I’d rather sign most anyone else.

[Freshmaker]

Uh, I wasn't.

Was just joking with you since you didn't have us winning the WS
