Remember when some folks thought it was stupid not to trade Teheran during the rebuild?

Remember when some folks thought it was a good idea to allow Teheran to “anchor” the 2017+ rotation?

Who ended up being right?

Oh I think the nega braves have been wildly vindicated

It's quite obvious the previous regime overall failed in the selling of veteran players for prospects part of the rebuild.

1. HO trade

2.Simmons trade

3. Kimbrel trade

4. Not trading (selling high on) Julio

As good as our Farm is...imagine what it could be. Freddie should have been the only guy kept.
 
I think this rotation is proving that neither side works with "high heat fastballs" to "taking a little off, control and command".

It’s really hard to disagree with this entire sentiment. It’s also getting pretty old watching Simmons continue being a wiz defensively and hit while Newcomb throws pitches that don’t break to Bryce Harper.

Disagree, Freeman and Simmons should have been the only players kept.

For me it would of been the guys on expiring contracts (Heyward and J Upton) and the pitchers signed to long deals (Julio and Kimbrel) to start. I would have kept Simmons and Freddie because both are obviously good and signed for awhile to below market prices. I would have waited on Gattis and obviously not sold off Wood for HO. Both would be wait and see candidates depending on when the Braves start inching towards contention.

Nah, it's not hard as your own second sentence supports my position and thereby disagrees with having only kept Freeman.

I would be ok with keeping Simmons. I understand at the time why they would consider a trade, but it was just that it was a HORRIBLE trade. Freeman is a complete player with really no question marks.

Now this is a statement that is hard to disagree with. I agree totally here.
 
Speaking of Simmons he's already at +2 DRS. That stat seems to be updating a lot more frequently this season.
