I can handle trading Heyward, Walden and even Upton the Better. But not going after Paul Janish! Now that's pushing me too far....

Maybe this is all really being done just to piss off Terence Moore...

Money, money, money. That's the major reason why Heyward is gone. Modern baseball: say one thing and do another. That's why Glavine left. Chipper got paid well but took less and stayed in Atlanta. For probably $16 million a year (I'm guessing) he could have stayed but his agent and he wanted an...

Trading Brett Butler, Justice, Grissom, Dye off the top of my head (Braves change outfielders a lot, don't they). On the flip side, however, I never 'miss' guys who sign elsewhere. I'm mad if the FO doesn't make an offer to a star player but if a fair deal is presented and the player walks...

Pedro Cerrano and a whole coop of chickens (just in case).

So much fun that the roller coaster which is professional sports teams in Atlanta has returned! Other than the Braves' "dynasty" (with 1 championship), cheering for the Braves, Falcons, etc. is always up & down, up & down, ride high then crash in disappointment. Maybe casual, 'fairweather fans'...

When the Marlins would spend that much $$$ on one player and the Braves might just be headed for a barely competitive team via fire sale... well, let's just say I see little winged piggies out my window while a blizzard rages in the underworld!

With MLB salaries, a part-time ball girl for 2 seasons with a club option for a third? Or next year's "Family Fun 4-Pack"? The Internet was much more fun when Marte was the untradeable phenom who would replace Chipper. Now this stuff is just....depressing.

Great to hear for Craig. Now, I cannot wait to hear from many how this is going to add to his pricetag and make him so expensive/ high priority to trade away...

Manno is gone so I think they're hoping Hart will take the GM position, promote Coppolella to Asst. GM and then take over when he's ready and Hart retires.

I'm afraid Prado would have lost all of his Atlanta mojo. Once a player leaves Atlanta and then returns, they are seldom the same (e.g. Terry Pendleton, Tom Glavine, Brian Jordan, etc.) Second, everyone would think he'd be an All-Star every game. This board probably wouldn't handle the daily...

Careful saying stuff like that! Some of the ..fans.. on here will call you crazy for believeing in the team and thinking they even have a chance before the season is over.

Just wonder how bad it's going to suck if either or both the Tigers and/ or A's don't make it to the ALCS. Or win the Series (1 can't) after all this hard work in trades. Judging by the fans here, those fans will probably implode, explode and hit the commode if their team(s) fail now!

Some of you are acting like this is the Doyle Alexander-John Smoltz trade in reverse. I get that you like Caratini. But why is having no money and trading ONE A level prospect for a veteran LH reliever AND a veteran bench player with versatility AND cash to boot something to lament and groan...

For those upset over Caratini, how is Andy Marte doing these days? Give some credit to the the actual baseball professionals who evaluate players daily! And maybe EB can be this club's Mike Devereaux. Stranger things have happened so sit back, relax and watch the next 2 months unfold!

Call Brad Pitt now for the sequel!

Does Wren or anyone with the Braves FO, management or minor league staff do anything right??

Thanks, with all of the negative posts on here, I probably will. I visit this board to get news but then make the mistake of reading some of the other threads. Guess after 38 years of watching the Braves, I'm just tired of all the 'team sucks/ minimal chance to win anything' blather.

Sorry. These game threads all look alike...

Hate this offense. They should have scored more runs against this scrub... (Pokes the hornet nest with a big stick...).
