GDT 4/15/25: Braves @ Jays - AIDS Breaks Out In Toronto

A corner OF that can hit... and by hit, I mean hit at all, shouldn't be so hard for him to find. He has butchered this roster
 
Braves OF...
White 0.0 fWAR
Harris -0.1 fWAR
Fairchild -0.2
Profar -0.2
Kelenic -0.2
De La Cruz -0.4
Total: -1.1 fWAR

How in the hell does a contender have an OF this bad? AA should be fired

ETA... and by contender, I mean should've been a contender. AA put this abomination together, and he doesn't have one prospect to try. AA has destroyed this team
 
Kelenic since ASB last season...
.178/.254/.328
61 wrc+

De La Cruz since ASB last season...
.211/.254/.312
48 wrc+
 
On the bright side, there's 89.51% of the season left and Acuna and strider will be back soon.

The problem is the braves don't have one replacement level OF... all below. The OF has been an abomination for a while now. AA has no idea how to fix it. He invested an absurd amount for trash (kelenic). He signed Harris to an extension when he didn't have to. He signed Profar on the back of one good season in his career as a 30 year old. There's not one prospect at all for the Of. AA has no idea how to build a decent OF.

Update - Eli is now -0.1, so everyone that's played in the OF for Atlanta this season is negative in fWAR. Total Atlanta fWAR for OF is -1.4.

AA is terrible at his job. I know most here will point to the past, but his last 2 times (last break and this offseason) he's done nothing to improve the team. The fact we have no prospect at all to even try in the OF at this point in upper minors is also a big fail by AA. When we write his obituary as the braves GM, the tumor that started it was the idiotic trade for kelenic.
 
And the fact the braves aren't renting a private jet to get verdugo up for one of these absolute ass OFers is another sign AA is lost. Verdugo is hardly a given to preform, but kelenic, de la Cruz, and white's chances are the square root of verdugo's. At least verdugo has actually shown the ability to play at a high level. None of the others have. Harris gets himself in a 0-1 hole every PA bc he has as much patience as a 14 year old boy in a whore house

Harris plate discipline is a joke, but he’s hitting the ball hard at least. I think he’ll come around. More than I can say for the rest of these scrubs.
