Ahhh yes one of my favorite threads even going to back to the old boards. The Minors thread. Baseball is official now! Rico you are the man!!!

B.J. is done, I'm sorry but the guy can't even a hit a fastball down main street. I don't really get the Justin hate, he's a good player. Most hitters are streaky except the exceptional ones like a Freeman or Chipper. He may not be the .300/30/100 guy everyone has hoped for but he's still a...

Wow man take a joke. A little stressed out?

I see what you did there.

Yeah I don't get the Laird hate. The guy is a solid backup C but is a great student of the game. He could very well be a manager one day if he wanted to.

Garza isn't a great pitcher by any stretch of the imagination.

This is why I can't get into saber metrics or whatever it is Pecota uses as well as others. How do you factor in things like how a guy is feeling that day? Or just life period. One thing I know is the good ones will produce and Freeman and Heyward will have big years if they are able to stay...

LOL, this is like every player saying their in the best shape of their lives.

Rico, do you have any numbers on Salcedo's ST? It seems like the few times I saw his name in the box score he had solid performances.

Exactly, yet they have nothing to show for it but James Shields.

They've said this for years yet all we do is produce top notch MLB talent. While outside of Sims the "upper echelon talent" may not be there but they also said Andrelton Simmons was not going to be special yet I think just about every team would stick him at SS on their team. If anything the...

Agree and it's not like Lynn was throwing gas with movement. I mean they were straight as an arrow and down main street. Like St.Pete said, the Crads announcers were talking about how long his swing was 0-2 batting lead-off. I think there's a reason FG put him lead-off to shorten up that swing...

B.J Upton looking the same as last year. Dude is terrible. Of course it's only spring training but damn he looks the same.

Yeah it's quite sad that an ace will get 20-30 mill. while a solid pitcher gets about 15 mill.

Honestly what were the Braves to do? Run Hale or Garcia out there every 5th day? These deals that veteran starters are getting are crazy but that's the way of the game right now. He's got good stuff and hopefully he is just maturing as a pitcher and we get a great year out of him. Unfortunately...

I do know that FW likes to draft guys who have already had the procedure, or at least that's what I've read some where. I mean pitching is taxing on the arm and it's very rare to see guys go an entire career without having the surgery done.

The fact is in a play-off series usually some team has a player who they can't get out. For us we had no one while the Dodgers had Hanley Ramirez on a tear and the BoSox had Ortiz who no one could get out. It's usually a star but sometimes it's a lesser player who is the star in those play-off...

That area near Turner Field is extremely dangerous and one of the roughest areas in the entire south east. It is full of crime and drugs no place paying fans want to take the family. It's not even a safe place during the broad day light let alone for night games. I applaud the move but wish it...

Also, Freeman got left out of the top 3 for NL MVP. Goldschmidt, McCutchen and Molina. Molina being in that group is an absolute joke. Our line up had two a bunch of inconsistent play and two of the worst offensive production from two regulars maybe ever and yet he still had 100+ RBI's. What a joke.

Just because you win an award doesn't mean much. How many gold gloves did Derek Jeter win? Fredi isn't a terrible manager and yes I wanted his head when I was listening to the game and talking to my buddy and I tell him "Damn all Fredi has to do is put Kimbrel in and we will take this back to...
