Regardless of what you think of their rationale, pretending that they are claiming financial flexibility as a positive solely as it relates to their own bottom line and not to winning on the field is disingenuous. You can think they didn't do a good job or weren't aggressive enough, and that...

I feel for you, bro.

Fans always have and always will overrate the offseason, on both ends. Teams that don't make tons of big moves have moved backward. Teams that made big splashes are now WS favorites. Over the long term, the smart, successful franchises are the ones who build from within, always prioritize value...

The dude strikes out everybody and always has.

The vast majority of people who go to games are not people like us. They are people who know Freeman, Acuna, Albies, saw we made a big FA signing, and that's about it. They'll come because of our young talent unless we stop winning games.

I think he's done very well overall. I don't think I would say 'great' because there is a lot we still don't know. But I'm pleased with what he's done.

LOL dude, I'm a moron. I'm a random guy with over 6,000 posts on a Braves message board, you think I'm going to be nailing things left and right? If you want to spend your time searching for instances where I was wrong, be my guest. But I can save you the time and go ahead and tell you I've...

'Yes, I was wrong. But, you see, he ended up being better than I thought he would be. So...I wasn't actually wrong. You get it.'

No doubt, we absolutely could have cashed in some chips and made more improvements. The question is always (especially so for a team with the financial reality the Braves are in) how much to cash in now and how much to protect for the future. No one has the answer to that on the front end, so...

I predicted Acuna to be able to sustain a .340 BABIP in the majors. You called me a moron for that. You were wrong.

You were right until you were wrong. Great.

I think Camargo will get basically the number of PA as any other starting position player because I think he'll end up playing basically every day. So I don't think he needs a trial, and he won't be given one. He's going to be a key player for us. It means we're rebuilding, or that we have...

I think there's a difference between using this year as a trial and using young guys because they're your best option. If Riley was our best option at 3B, then put him out there and let's see what he has. But don't make decisions on the pieces you add because of that. Just like I wouldn't want...

There was nothing to address. You were wrong. Just be glad I don't care enough to go find your devastating cornhole trash talk.

I'm shaking.

We won the division last year. Obviously that will be tough to repeat, but we're not a rebuilding team. Our window is just opening, but we're still absolutely trying to win now. Camargo will get plenty of AB this year, and we know he's fine defensively at 3B. We just need to continue to see his...

We have a good outlook for 3B for the future, but not in 2019 without Donaldson. Camargo's best role is as a super utility guy and he adds great depth on the bench. Having him as your starting 3B is not as close to the value of Donaldson, which is obvious. And Riley in AAA does not help us right...

I haven't been around in a while, I was genuinely asking. It's ok to just answer a question. But yes, I would have liked those moves. I like Brantley a lot. I will say, though, that with Flowers already on the roster, I like $23 million for Donaldson quite a bit more than I like $18 million...

That's a fine opinion to have, but let's not act like Donaldson isn't a good fit on this team.
