Official Offseason Thread

Apparently the Angels and Indians discussed Mike Clevinger and the ask was Adell plus.

Depends on which album I guess.

JD for 4 years can be both a big risk, and a risk taken at the best possible time.

Logic...it’s not your thing. Too limited mentally.

Neither is playing baseball apparently. Too limited physically.

Derp

Given our situation...it’s the best option. As long as he doesn’t stay injured three of the four years...it’s a win.

The next contract that will make me nervous is how many years Freddie gets and at what price. If JD gets that at 34....yikes.

I dunno I think JD’s the better player and the better risk. You can always move Donaldson to first and go for another 3B in 2 years. With Freeman I’d look at Nelson Cruz and JD Martinez as comps

I still think we need two 120 plus wrc + bats added. I was thinking it’s a sign and a trade.

I still think that happens. I think the waiting on jd is us exploring options.

My guess is aa is trying to get someone to sell a dollar for 5 quarters or maybe 2 fifty cent pieces and some dimes.

I do think we have some clutter on the 40 man and if we can find someone to bite on the poo poo platter then it’s worth it.

There were only 52 such hitters last year across all 32 teams. If the Braves get JD they will have 3 of them already, and you think they need to add 4th?

I think you’re getting a bit greedy haha.

Fair.
And maybe 120 is high. 110.
Catcher and ss are likely to be close to league avg, probably a bit below. Rf is going to be just north of league avg.

I think we need another bat.

[Russ2dollas]

Ps I think jd on a multiple year deal needs to play A LOT less. Protect your asset. No day games after night games

I see d'Arnaud and Flowers well above league average compared with just catchers.

[mfree80]

I see d'Arnaud and Flowers well above league average compared with just catchers.

...and I expect to see a continued modest upward trend from Swanson. I expect both C and SS to be league average or slightly better. Just my observation, no science...

Seems like they did that with him early in the year last year. Scattered off days over the first couple of months. But then suddenly he was in the lineup daily.

[Carp]

Yeah, Lil D and Flowers should combine to be above average for a catcher both offensively and defensively.

[nsacpi]

Very important to have a franco-filipino catcher.

I know today is the day JD was “supposedly” going to sign with the braves. Has anyone seen him at the airport yet? If not I call fake news!

Day off? We don’t believe in that here in Braves country. We have a regular lineup.

He's at the Waffle House - they gave him the booth in the corner so no one would notice him.
