    Anybody know anything about this account? Just ran across it today.
    I'd trade Greene for a pick.

    He is likely the candidate to regress the most (we saw some of that) so I'd not blame AA from moving on from him. Seems pretty logical.

    Same. But if the Braves feel he’s excess, think they can use the $6+ million elsewhere, and want to pad back their draft pool, I could see something like that happening.

    It's been only a year. Also, you miss the players I listed?

    Vodnik is a top 15 prospect. CJ Alexander, Greyson Jenista, and Trey Harris are top 25 prospects right now too. Justin Dean honestly should be as well, consdering he's a good defender in CF and offensively is showing a good hit tool so far with very good plate discipline. I'm guessing his size is the big red flag keeping him off prospect lists.

    Pshaw, they're only top 25 in our system, though. Get back to us when that draft produced five of the top 25 prospects in all of baseball.

    In a heartbeat. He's a guy with a career ERA around 4.50 and a career xFIP around 4.25 who lucked into a single half season with an ERA barely over 1... and even then his xFIP was nearly 4.

    Rumor was we had 3/75 with a buyout option, not what Min offered, so i'm fine with AA holding his ground.

    This! I don't want to just give him away. Picks in baseball aren't valuable enough for me. I think we could get a good player back packaging him with other guys.

    Agreed. I wonder if the Cubs would take him as part of the package heading back to them for KB....in that kind of deal, it's more of a salary swap, but they get an addition to strengthen their pen.

    Now I Know you said first pick, not just first round. But this is all I could find in 3 minutes.
    For some time now the Braves seem have underperformed in the first round and done better in later rounds.

    The Cubs need bullpen help, especially with Morrow being so injury prone.

    Lmao. That’s awful.

    Maybe we can trade for him at the deadline in 2021. I’m sure we’re on his exempt list.

    Teenager c2c was uncontrollably excited at the notion of Joey Devine closing games for us the same year we drafted him.

    I don’t think I hated anyone or anything as much as I hated Chris Reitsma and Dan Kolb closing games for us.

    Yes. I also had dreams of Cody Johnson being the next Ryan Klesko.

    The Cubs need BP and OF help. I'd offer Inciarte, Greene, Riley and Wilson for Bryant

    We have a stacked bullpen and an overflow of outfielders....But i'd think we'd have to do better on the deal there...

    Cubs get: Inciarte, Greene, Riley, Wright
    Braves get: Bryant and maybe a comp pick

    Inciarte plus Greene would be more money than Bryant makes next season and Bryant is a legit cleanup hitter with power. Inciarte is a gold glove CF but light with the bat. Greene coming off a great year with Detroit.

    Acuna CF
    Albies 2B
    Freeman 1B
    Bryant 3B
    Ozuna LF
    d'Arnaud C
    Markakis/Duvall RF
    Swanson SS

    Culberson, Camargo, Duvall/Markakis, Flowers, Hech

    Soroka, Hamels, Freid, Folty, Hernandez/Touki/Newk

    Smith, Melancon, Martin, Jackson, O'day, Newk, Webb, Minter


    That would be a hell of a team

    That would be an insane lineup! Man I hope AA can make something happen at 3B. I DO NOT want to go in with Camargo or Riley at 3B.
