    I think you solved it.

    Wil Myers is the most likely answer.

    RHH OFer is what this team needed after signing Markakis...and still needs.

    It comes back to AA overvaluing team control. Same reason he keeps holding onto Duvall. With Jackson, people keep writing about how he's out of options -- as if anyone else would even be interested in him.

    I still think we’ll be in the thick of things at the deadline and AA will have a ton of ammo to make a big trade to give the team a big boost.

    If we're close enough at the break to make a run. The pitching staff worries me. I think there's a fair chance we don't see a healthy Folty or Gaus this year.

    I don't know either. My guess is as soon as Minter comes back he's the odd man out.

    I may be a homer but I think that Wright and Fried make a big step forward in the rotation this year.

    Givens could help the pens of most teams, including us. Otherwise pretty slim pickings.

    I'm surprised it wasn't Dwight Smith, Sr., given the rest of that line-up.

    When I saw that R. Martin was playing shortstop, I was shocked thinking they finally got Bassmaster Roland Martin out of the boat.

    Curious to see how Rio Ruiz does. The pressure is clearly off.

    Young Gabe: The Braves' lead-off plan: Ender Inciarte vs. righties, Ozzie Albies vs. lefties. Snit confirmed today.

    Jackson being on the team has nothing to do with Duvall. AA already released Jackson once last year before bringing him back. He's only on the team to start this year due to injuries.
