7/11/15: GDT - Atlanta Braves @ Colorado Rockies

[msstate7]

If albies c9ntinues to hit I'd see if a team is willing to overpay for Simmons.

When does Simmons' contract run out?

 

[ATLBraves247]

This is awful, we deserve to lose this game. We've had too many chances to win.

 

[USMA76]

Thanks, CJ.

Think he has 6 more years.

 

[msstate7]

Hindsight I know, but we should've ph Peterson for Simmons. Move ciriaco to ss

 

[ATLBraves247]

Simmons was trying to hit a fly ball, Johnson is the one to blame for that inning.

We could really rack up in a Simmons trade 4 years from now assuming albies does turn into what we think he could

Plenty of blame that inning... CJ, Kelly, and Simmons

 

[USMA76]

Does anyone else just hold their breath anytime one of the Rockies hits a ball hard to the outfield? Glad Kelly Johnson got to that one.

I'm glad you don't run the Braves, you'd trade Simmons, Wood and have a team full of singles hitters.

 

[msstate7]

Nice play simmons

The 3 Johnson formation worked well that inning. Another splendid managerial move by Fredi.

Everyone but Freeman is tradeable if a team wants to overpay. Y8u could get that magical power hitter if you trade Simmons and insert a much better hitter in Albies in two years.

Great glove--now if someone would just explain to him what a bat is.

We just need to get our lineup upgraded to where he's not a liability offensively

 

[USMA76]

Too bad Hawkins isn't one of those right-handers that falls off to the left side after he delivers the pitch.

You dont trade a guy like Simmons over an 18 year old in A ball

You're crazy, Simmons is the best defender in baseball. Who will play SS until Albies is ready. He's hitting in the worst spot in the lineup and I feel like he is exactly what Hart wants on our team. Can his hitting improve? Of course it can, but it would be foolish to trade him.

Simmons shouldn't be anymore tradeable than Freeman, Simmons is too special defensively to look to trade. Enough said.

Albies 0rojects to be a good SS. Just not all world like Simmons.

We are going to have to be creative to bring in another power bat since everyone is convinced that's the only way to win.
