I would like Wilson Betemit or Eric Chavez for the Back 3B/1B options. As far as OF goes I really like Tyler Colvin. I think he could be a nice option. I don't think he can play CF though. Or Rajai Davis. He would bring a big time speed factor to the bench. More then Schafer.

I would highly doubt someone is going to give a 41 year old Ibanez a lot of cash. Morse is going to get a decent about of money. Surgery or no surgery. Morse is going to get an everyday job from someone. He is not looking for a back up job.

Wren is looking fit lefty bat off the bench that can provide some power. Morse is not that. Not to mention Morse will be looking for bigger bucks then the braves would be paying

Jon Morosi ‏@jonmorosi 49s Blue Jays get Erik Kratz and Rob Rasmussen from Phillies in the Lincoln deal. Kratz is a good defensive catcher.

doubt it. The braves have a 2-3 year window to win a WS. After that it going to be another few years of tough times IMO. Might as well try it while your in it.

Jeff Passan ‏@JeffPassan 1m If Yankees exercise option, Ellsbury deal would be worth $169M, the ninth-biggest contract in baseball history: http://yhoo.it/1ca6E9T

and people are seeing why the braves are moving to cobb county. Gets buts in the seats so we can have more cash to work with.

I don't want to do this but I bet we could get a pretty darn good return for one of our good OFers right now.

Ray Flowers ‏@BaseballGuys 4m #yankees are what's wrong with baseball. #dodgers pretty close. Just throwing money at a problem Peter King ‏@SI_PeterKing 1m Yanks pay $22m a yr for Ellsbury, electric player who, in last 4 yrs, has played 18, 158, 74, 134 games. What a country.

They still want to sign a pitcher or 2.

For one thing we would need more then a stop gap. Also I don't think the braves view Victor as a catcher. He never played one inning this year as a catcher. We have other areas of need before signing a catcher to a deal. Gattis is good enough. I would still use Betancourt in a trade. I...

He is ok but Gattis will hit much better then him and they are about equal with the glove.

I don't think they are bluffing. They are not going to bid against themselves and right now they would be.

I am shocked at how busy its been today.
