Also they've picked at the bottom of the draft for pretty much the entire tenure of the current GM. And consistently found players to help the club any way.

They spend the bulk of their picks on pitching. They've only recently rejoined the international signing game and likely have had to rebuild that completely. And it's rare to hit on a whole lot of guys in an entire draft. Also analytics favor three true outcome position players.

But won't really be going forward.

I also think it's ok if Acuna continues to play like Acuna so long as he is still able.

The Kelenic machinations were largely a flyer without a whole lot of risk. You wouldn't not make moves based on that and Kelenic's cost was largely front loaded, so keeping him around as a bench piece is neglible going forward.

I think it's sort of ridiculous to say he can't do what he was doing. Very normal, not dangerous thing he was doing.

Very confusing post. What hasn't Snitker accomplished?

What kind of cheats are you talking about?

I tend to think players are what they are.

I think people who aren't in the spotlight find ways to undervalue even the biggest of achievements. Winning 14 straight divisions in an amazing organizational feat and JS had a heavy hand in every one of them.

I would imagine that is common separator between major league talent and minor leaguers.

I think eventually committing to a rebuild ended up being a nice recharge for the fans but wasn't anything the org had patience for. The Braves continued to draft well though and were mostly good at choosing what to throw and what to keep. The problem was the Tex trade was the team wasn't...

Also the Braves roster pre-JS wasn't playoff caliber. He made the moves that got them there and the moves that sustained it for 14 years an unprecedented feat. That's pretty incredible by any objective standard, but so sorry he finally traded away a player or two that the fan base regretted...

I personally do not care about the Tex trade. The worst thing they gave up was Andrus and that's neither a big deal historically or a position where the Braves struggled afterwards. Maybe you don't make the trade, but the value of the return has always been inflated simply because some of...

You have a hard time finding anything positive about the front office that relievers a decade and a half of division titles? Seriously?

I think most people are also pretty repulsed he gets off by abusing women.

They basically used all of these as starters and then cut bait. It's tough to come up with guys they actually converted. Usually trade them before that.

Pretty sure they would wait to suspend Acuña.

I love it when people string together random statements made over months, conflate it with rumors and media speculation, and then treat the amalgam like it was testimony given under oath. Aha!

I think we should guillotine all of them. The truth is that poors would love to make millions playing a child game but they can't. But one thing they can do is get a vicarious thrill off their team winning and the millionaires looking for a few more shekels stand in the way of that. Why...
