Why do you say this? Because he asked for 9 million? Why wouldn't he ask for that? He is the best closer in baseball. My guess everyone one of them would sign an ext. if the braves offered them above market value. They are being baseball players that is all. Problem is we don't have owners...

You have no clue who the braves might be able to get in a trade. This team had a 2 year window and we are at the beginning of year 2. The braves are never going to be able to keep Kimbrel and Heyward. A trade next offseason is a MUST IMO. It will be a hell of alot better then letting them walk...

No one is getting traded this offseason. It would have happened already. Next off season I expect both Kimbrel and Heyward to be traded.

Which only makes it worse. The braves turn a profit and yet the profits are not allowed to spend the profits on the team.

With the new draft rules signability isn't really an issue anymore.

No those figures do not include the TV money

People are forgetting the braves needed a left handed bad for the bench. Doumit was not acquired because he can catch. He was acquired because he is a lefty bat. I do believe the braves wanted Eric Chavez because minutes after the Doumit deal was announced Chavez had re upped with the D-Backs...

But as far as what we have in the farm system it is weak. Plan and simple.

Take the rose colors glasses off. Its weak. From Sickles The Atlanta farm has thinned out considerably, and looking at just the talent in the minors currently, it is a bottom tier system. Of course, the reason it has thinned out is a good one: the big league roster that won 96 games was...

I see both Heyward and Kimbrel being on the block next offseason. The braves are going to go when their core for 1 more year. After they they have to start the transition to keeping the core they can.

The Graduation excuse is pretty old and lame. The system is weak. I don't care if its because of Graduation's or not. The evaluation of a farm system is just that the FARM SYSTEM it has nothing to do with what happen on the big club. They have drafted sub-par players overall the past 4+ years...

He was always going to be the everyday catcher in Gwinnett.

He asked if we would give Floyd a qualifying offer. My comment on next year FA starters has nothing to do with the braves signing anyone of them.

I guess so.
