Might be able to calculate that yourself by looking at a replay.

The Braves have overperformed in every season he has been manager.

I was about to post this. He does a good job for the SEC and has ties to the Braves.

He really does throw that fastball hard though.

With the DH I think it makes sense to have a speed guy and defensive replacement as the last spot on the roster. Especially considering the new pick off rule and considering our LF defense.

Maybe they still do not understand the luxury tax rules.

Even if he completely collapses it would not be that big of a hit financially. It would sting, but should not keep us from contention barring other unfortunate events. Events that would be more impactful.

This seems like a really good deal for us. The risk is not even that huge in this market. It is like Ozuna signing level risk.

I think the decision to punt LF would be fine had we not also decide to punt SS and DH. That is why some of use are confused why AA upgraded a position we were already good at without at least addressing one of those other positions. It is also why I question the decision to still keep two...

I really dont get going into the season with two starting catchers when you have a need in LF and a DH, but whatever. I guess we cant trade Darnaud because of reasons.

I say just go with Grissom and see how he does. You can always add a SS later if needed, or put Arcia in. Most of the other options at this point are either meh or unrealistic.

A catching coach cant be making that much though.

We really just need all of that to balance itself out. If everything on your list goes right we are a 115 win team. Most likely some goes the way we want it to and some does not. Making us a 95ish win team.

AA did say he had some fruitful conversations this week. He doesnt usually say that. So maybe something is coming.

This is the first offseason I had no idea the winter meetings were ongoing. MLB is really bad.

Grissom seems closer to the opposite of pena rather than the next pena. What a weird comp. If unfair comps are the game, then I think the comparison is more on the Derek Jeter end of the spectrum.

While thats true it is still good news for us that he is no longer in the NL East.

Good news for us.

This will be the best move of the offseason for any team if best case scenario occurs. I doubt it will, but you never know.

I prefer to keep it simple. Sign Swanson and save the rest for the trade deadline.
