What are you talking about? No one said anything about giving up Teheran for Bailey..

How is that gutting the farm? Bethancourt has value but how much value does he have to us? So you want him as our back up because I don't see him beating out Gattis any time soon. Where does Northcraft fit on this team in the near future? Wood may or may not have a good career. I don't see how...

Have you seen Homer Bailey pitch? The guy has legit ace stuff and if Teheran keeps progressing then I would feel pretty dang good in a 5 game series with Homer Bailey and Teheran. If Homer pitched at Turner Field next season I could see him easily having a Cy Young type year. Now if I'm FW I...

A shot at what? Future pitching coach? The guy was topping out at 83 MPH last year. i'd much rather take a gamble on Johan Santana as there is "some" unknown to him and he's much younger. Most scouts agree that Halladay is done.

Of course but I doubt TB GM would go for that. I think i'd still rather have Bailey. I'm not a huge fan of Price.

Dayton Moore, is that you?

Umm how about...NO.

If we can get Kelly Johnson, Rajai Davis and a veteran reliever(Latroy Hawkins) for less than 8 mil. between all three that to me would be a huge victory in my book. While none are great players they are veterans who not only add depth but versatility. It's not like your signing these guys long...

I'm not so sure. Huddy lives in Phoenix City if I'm not mistaken and he's made plenty of money. Unless another team offers him something extremely better than the Braves I could see it happening but he gave us a decent discount before when he could've left and gotten paid a few years ago. The...

David Price and to a lesser extent max Scherzer have been discussed on this board as possible "Ace" options but the one guy who may cost less and has that "Ace" type stuff is Homer Bailey. Bailey has great stuff and a fastball that's in the mid 90's and he's also just now reaching his prime as...

Furcal burned his bridges with Atlanta when he spurned us a couple of years ago. Kelly Johnson is a guy that is cheap and can play 3B,2B, and 1B.

People keep plugging Johnson but has anyone actually seen him pitch with Toronto? I know Halladay is done as his last start he was topping out at 83 MPH and who knows what Santana can do? The one thing about Santana though is that even when he lost his velocity he was still dominant so if he's...

Chavez doesn't play the OF and what has Schafer proven? If that is our bench then FW would have been better off keeping Reed Johnson. I'm fine with adding Chavez but we need a legit 4th OF. Also, I think if the price is the same I'd be much more inclined to adding Michael Young instead of Chavez...

Good to see him get back on track.

Right now but there's some moves FW is going to make. Reed has been pretty bad since he's played for us with an OPS of about .640 in 200+ AB's. He's 37 and should never of played CF ever. He was going to make 1.6 and we could get a better hitting option for near the same price. As I stated...

I got a message on my phone earlier that said we're not picking up Reed Johnson's option and I am so thankful. That was a very good move on FW's part because there are much better options to be had than Reed Johnson. We should go after Rajai Davis and I think we could sign him for rather cheap...

I'm really not catching what your saying. If we trade Uggla for Phillips we would have to take on Phillips' contract so I don't understand how we'd pay him 6 mil for 4 years. I don't see FW releasing Uggla. We may not find someone to take Uggla and if he we keep him and he doesn't produce again...

Josh Johnson is done. Him getting back to "Ace" status is as good as Santana's chance. I wouldn't mind gambling on Johnson as I do have some hope he can become a good SP again but not for 10/per.

Oh I don't doubt it. Looking at his numbers and youth there's a lot to like. I do think he winds up at 3B as he's already 6'4 215 and like I said Pederson is a guy who will be vying for PT next year and had a very very good year at AA. Pederson hit only .277 but the power/speed/on base is very...

Excluding Puig, only Urias,Pederson,Seager, and Scavuzzo have put up decent numbers in the minors. While the others may have potential they haven't shown anything in the minor leagues. I mean is Seager,Pederson, and Scavuzzo better than Alex Wood, Bethancourt, and Kyle Wren? Seager is a nice...
