Playoffs discussion 2020

Hoskins has been pretty solid for them. And Nola has been great obviously. But outside of that, they failed to develop Kingery who was a top prospect and they already signed long term. Their pitching prospects like Pivetta, Eflin and Velazquez haven't been good. Sixto of course they traded. Bohm is looking really good. Moniak turning into a bust as the #1 pick really hurt.

Trading away Sanchez and missing on Moniak have really hurt. Cant miss on 1-1, and Sanchez would have been a great piece to keep with Nola going forward.

Good thing they have a stupid FO to go with their stupid money.

The covid might put a wrench in the Braves upcoming payroll plans but the Braves are setup well to continue to dominate the division for the foreseeable future.

We really only need to keep one of Greene/MM, a cleanup hitter, and a veteran SP. Not sure how realistic that is but depends how much money AA has to work with.

I said this in another thread, reflecting on the Hamels strategy (which was sound, even if hindsight is 20/20), but I'd like to see Anthopoulos bring in two veteran SPs, using that same ~18m. I think two shots at guys in the one-year, $8-10m range is ultimately better than all eggs in one ~$18m basket.

There aren't a lot of top-flight options out there, but there looks like there'll be plenty in the middling range. The exception, obviously is if a short-term deal can be worked out with Bauer (which I'd imagine, at this point, is pretty unlikely).

Two SP's depends if Soroka is ready or not for Opening Day. If he is, we probably dont need 2. Soroka/Fried/Anderson/Wright is a fine top 4. Probably would be smart spreading money around than going all in on 2 guys unless those 2 were Bauer and Ozuna.
 
Twins scenario is very undecided haha.
Can be 2, 3, or 4 seed. Could play Chicago, Cleveland, Houston, New York, or Toronto.

Ugh want no part of the Reds. We aren't beating them.

It would be such a Braves and 2020 thing for us to dominate all season offensively, and have the best offense we’ve had in close to two decades, only to face the Reds in a short playoff series and lose...again.
 
Both Ohio teams are ripe to spoil a higher seeds postseason.
The regular season is a joke this season. The playoffs are a crapshoot more or less, even more so this time around. Strange things this week is highly likely.
