Red Sox Non-Tender Andrew Bailey He would be a guy I would take a risk on.

Where did I say we have no depth?

Straus is not bigger than Beachy. And They have depth in Roark and Jordan. Wouldn't ours look a lot better with Minor, Medlen, Tehran, VET, Beachy and Wood/Hale as depth?

The Nats just got Doug Fister for their back end. I doubt think Beachy is better then him.

His attitude is an issue. He was pissed he got sent down last year. Doubt the braves do that.

They are making him out to be a great SP so that we don't need to get another SP. So everyone would be happy with Beachy at 4 and wood at 5? That is the rotation everyone wants to go with?

I would rather get the SP no instead of during the season when they cost way more. I just don't think Beachy will ever be as good and what people here make him out to be.

Hanson was non-tendered.

Not to win a WS no. We need major help on the bench. And being an NL team it matters our bench is good. We need an 8th inning man and another loogy for the pen. We need 1 SP.

I am not mad we haven't done anything yet. I am not shocked we haven't done anything yet. But to think we DON'T need to do anything is a mistake. Braves don't usually start doing business until the winter meeting and beyond.

lol

I am not saying they can't be. But I would much rather Beachy and Wood be the 5th/6th starting pitchers than the 4th and 5th starting pitchers.

If you say so.

I am not saying the sky is falling. I am just bringing up things that this board doesn't want to talk about. Beachy and Wood might not be the pitchers everyone thinks they will be next year. People don't like me saying that.

Lackey's league minimum deal doesn't follow him if he is traded.

So a guy coming off TJ surgery and then an other clean up surgery is going to all of a sudden be a better pitcher then his avg of 5.6 IP per start?

You tell me. I don't know. People are acting like Beachy is a top flight SP and he isn't. He is a 5 inning pitcher.

I woud give them Beachy and a low arm. Or Terdo, Hale, and Lamm.

So everyone is happy with Beachy and his 5.6 IP per start avg?

Loshe is still the best option IMO. Lackey is out there and I wouldn't be crazy about getting him but he would bring very good depth and be a vet for the young guy. I would even talk to the dodgers are Josh Beckett. I doubt the braves sign one. All the good options are gone now with Josh...
