Currently sitting at $107M with holes at 3b, C, SP and possibly cOF.
At this point the only logical explanation is that $130M was way off for the opening day payroll figure...I hope.

I now predict we will sign Donaldson, Bumgarner and Ozuna, leaving us with a 165-ish payroll
Hard Bartleby on Bumgarner.
"For all his tattooings he was on the whole a clean, comely looking cannibal."
Ok AA. What’s next

I’m gonna say a trade for a cheap controllable player like Contreras is coming to fill a big hole and then going expensive at 3b.
I’m not ruling any player out at this point bc all logic before the offseason started and what we thought the payroll was gonna be is completely out the window now. Does AA shock us all and go after Cole or Strasburg? Contreras and Moose wouldn’t cost very much at all but would still leave the offense lacking.
So we are at 39 with holes to fill. Hmm.

Shortening the game. Better be leading the Braves after six innings
Chopping With The Braves And Rolling With The Tide
I think Newk is being talked up a bit and referred to as a starting candidate to see what his trade value is
Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...
Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?
Actually could turn out to be really interesting - if AA is able to add an offensive Catcher like Contreras and Moose plus another SP, maybe he continues to go with a 4 man bench since Camargo and Culberson provide plenty of versatility and they carry 14 Pitchers. Wright/Wilson/Touki/and eventually Anderson could be kept on the Atlanta/Gwinnett shuttle to piggyback with him every fifth day.

With the new 26 man roster a team is only allowed a maximum of 13 pitchers.
And we’re also entering into the new rule that a pitcher must face at least 3 batters before being pulled. So maybe stocking up on strong bullpen arms isn’t a bad move since we won’t be able to have a true LOOGY anymore.
