that trade suddenly isn't looking so amazing. Crawford looks like he'll at worst be a useful, cheap player. Santana is having a great season. of course, the Phillies still wouldn't have anywhere to put Santana/Hoskins. but i like that JP is suddenly playing much better. could easily out-WAR Segura the next couple years.
not when they could've done it without him and are still stuck dealing with that contract
bat has been better..but defense is now declining sharply.

Never really understood why everyone was freaking out so much about Segura. He's a nice player, but he's nothing special. Kinda reminds me on an Inciarte outside of one very good year with the Diamondbacks and one solid year last year. Nice hit tool, solid defense, no power, decent speed. Useful starter, but not a big difference maker.

Very Flirtatious, but Doubts What Love Is.
Since I’m another one of the three, obviously, who was the third?

His game 7 rally speech during the rain delay is part of Cubs lore now. I’m not saying it’s a good deal. I’m not saying it’s not an albatross. I’m just saying the city of Chicago would have blood sacrificed the whole White Sox organization if it meant the Cubs would win the WS. Whatever they had to pay to get all those little pushes to the title however small were worth every penny to them.
I posted pre morning update bro.
always gotta wait for that update

I don't think he needs to be platooned. I think he should get regular rest and it should happen against LHP. There is a difference.

I'm with this as well. He needs more rest, no platoon. Travesty he gets maybe 1 day off every 2-3 weeks with the depth the Braves have.

The pitching depth has both shored up the bullpen and permitted the Braves to maintain a MLB average rotation despite demoting the #1, #2, and #5 starters.
I'm seen some indication that the pitching depth has been overrated, but I think it's the opposite. Most teams would not have weathered everything Atlanta has faced with its pitching staff this year between injury and ineffectiveness.
i was 100% on board so get your facts straight
he's terrible vs. LHP. he shouldn't play against them.
I try but I’m always getting the late night jones for stats and projections.
LOL, love it!
I'll have to go back and check, but I remember the consensus being that Mac was fine assuming the money they saved was used somewhere else and/or JD wasn't the only big acquisition.
Now it looks like a large chunk of that saved money brought in DK, so there isn't really much to complain about at all.
