With the Braves offense finally gelling, we could put an end to the ROY race in that Horton start. Tag him for 7 runs or more.

JP Crawford, Masyn Winn, Carlos Correa. Plans A, B, and C for SS.

If you could stomach Profar in LF, we could find a DH pretty reasonably.

One can only hope so. But as I said earlier in the season, todays "roids" aren't the same stuff from 20-30 years ago. You can come off them now without losing the muscle mass like you used to.

If he can finish hot, he might make a top 100 list or 2 given he is a first rounder and extremely young for the league.

I feel like Horton has to have the worst odds at this point. Not because of how he is necessarily performing, but because he only has 5-6 starts remaining and 1 bad start could tank his chances. If Horton goes out tomorrow and gets shelled for 6 runs in 3 innings, his ERA would shoot up over...

I wish there was a way the Philthies and Mets could both lose. But an epic meltdown from the Philthies this second half would be amazing to see.

I hadn't realized Stanton was having a bit of a career resurgence this year. He's been on an insane run since the ASB, with 17 homers and a 1.200 OPS.

Ozzie getting back to a league average offensive 2b would be pretty huge for next year. Even something like +/- 10 points from a .700 OPS would likely still make him a 2 WAR player with his solid defense. Ozzie's 2nd half OPS is up to .740 now.

Aside from Swanson, we have replaced those guys pretty well. I guess technically we didn't replace Fried in the literal sense, but in the last 3 years we developed Strider and Schwelly (maybe Waldrep too) and we traded for Sale. Not replacing Swanson is the biggest failure so far and a large...

Only 4 of those players were on the active roster when AA took over. He also was responsible for bringing in some pretty important pieces to our success over the years. Guys like Donaldson, Morton, Ozuna, Harris, Strider, Schwelly, Drake, and yes even Olson and Murphy, as much as people like to...

A cadillac Braves team? Talk about some revisionist history.

Can we please get Jesus Bastidas on this team already? Like, what the hell are we even doing? There should be no reason he isn't in Atlanta and seeing whether or not he can be a contributor.

1 good week from Drake and he will be back at No. 1. The homer last night was a good start. Hopefully the idiot in charge doesn't sit him 3 more times like he did last week. There should be zero reason why Ozuna starts more than 3 days a week from here on out, and those 3 days should be days...

Yeah I think there was a miscommunication somewhere. Alex Lodise did indeed have a nice week with a slash line of .318/.348/.500 (.848 OPS). But his cousin Kyle flat crushed everything he saw this week in the SAL, with a line of .529/.625/1.235 (1.860 OPS). Also, it shows Kyle Lodise as the...

I didn't say he was a problem right now. But he could easily become a problem within 2 years, and at that point he'll be near impossible to move (see Nolan Arenado for reference).

AA will only compound his idiocy if he doesn't trade Murphy in the off-season.

I would argue the decline has already began. It may not be a sharp fall like Ryan Howard, but I could easily see an Anthony Rizzo sort of decline for Olson where he's more of a 2ish WAR 1b. And that isn't worth 22 million per year.

I really wish we could dump Olson and move Riley to 1b (or potentially McCabe could be a 1b option). Not because I think Olson is bad. It's simply because we have him for 4 more years and he's likely to get a lot worse.

With only 17 starts and 1.5 fWAR? Seems pretty unlikely. I know sports writers can be fickle, and don't always look at things like WAR as better indicators, but I would be super surprised if he won. At least if Collins and Baldwin continued playing like they have this year. Collins has gone...
