My God, are we going to argue all year over two 'past their prime' pitchers who are (at best) fifth starters/ longman bullpen relief pitchers? Guess it's better than worrying about your starting 8 like some teams have to do...

I went to sleep last night with 3/5 of the rotation injured. I wake up to see that they've signed the best pitcher still available to fill in some of that damage. We still get a 1st rd sandwich pick. We still have ALL of our players to plug in or use as trade chips later if necessary. Liberty...

Every time Gattis has a slump fans will say 'yes' and every time Gattis is going well, fans will say 'no'. Same with the number of times BMac is on an ESPN or FOX highlight getting a big homer or gamewinner. But BMac is playing a position that tears most players up over a long career so the odds...

A quote said far too often and about far too many players when said in conjunction with your hometown Atlanta Braves. Baseball economy is out of control right now.

New season approaches, another prediction that the Nats will win the division and, maybe, the whole thing. Last year was a fluke since they'll be the cream of the crop for years and years to come...

Careful. Zito has said that Insiders are already being stroked on here...

Maddux is entitled to his decision but just another sign of how f*cked up this sport really is! Even induction into its Hall of Fame can get screwed up, first with Maddux not being unanimous and then with his bust having no team logo on the cap even though I'd venture a large majority of people...

Careful! Those guys who always post here defending Liberty's financial stance on the Braves will slap you on the wrist...

wtf?! Well that's just a perfect way to wind up this damnable offseason... 9 1/2 seasons in Chicago where he pitched well, but 11 in Atlanta where he became legendary and won his only championship! So before the 50 or more posts hit here defending Maddux's decision, I'll just say this is one...

Pro-athlete priorities: 1. Pay me what I think I deserve, 2. Look good on Sportscenter "earning" that money, 3. Maybe win some games and even a championship IF my "team" can afford any other players.

Benjamin Franklin. All we seem to hear or talk about (besides the first round playoffs debacles) is how the Braves cannot resign this or that veteran, keep our young talent because they'll be too expensive, can't sign this or that free agent due to limited funds, this or that player will leave...

Been a REALLY slow and boring offseason for the team so far...

Another example (in a long line of them) of why MLB is really screwed up from top to bottom. They cannot even vote for Hall of Fame without controversy... :mad0182:

Sorry don't see it happening. 1. This off-season seems to show that the Braves aren't going to spend a lot of money, 2. they'd never be able to keep up in a spending race with any of those teams mentioned and 3. the Kawakami situation did not end well and I bet every Japanese player coming to...

Will the Braves ever make another trade that no one on this board will complain about?

Proof of why the Cubs are a perennial loser. I hope they lose a hundred this season...

Guess $8 million per is going to price Infante out of the Braves' range also...:mad0182:

[/B] Jealousy, anger over inflated (almost unrealistic) salaries, frustration that the Braves cannot match the money being thrown around, frustration that these overblown salaries will mean that the Braves won't be able to hold on to their own homegrown talent, jealousy that other teams have...

At least signing all these big contracts including BMac will provide all the more reason to root for the Yankees to lose and miss the playoffs...

Does Uggla make enough money to attract the attention of the Yankees? They only like making the really big deals...
