    Cardinals being investigated by FBI for hacking

    This is pretty darn serious. Knowledge of the breach may not be imputed to the highest levels within the organization (unless actual facts of same are discovered), but the benefit of that knowledge must be imputed to all levels of the organization.. and the existing cybercrime and hacking laws...

    2015 June Draft Results Thread

    If Mallex keeps his current pace up, he's a shoe in for Top 100.

    Bullpen

    Dana Eveland just opted out of his contract with the Red Sox. He needs to be on the red eye to Atlanta asap for his physical.

    6/1/15: GDT - Atlanta Braves @ Arizona Diamondbacks

    The aforementioned Eury Perez would do just fine (with Cunny moving over to a corner). Or Peraza. Or Mallex Smith. Anyone but EY.

    Wow. So he does workout with a pink, glow in the dark wristband...

    Around Baseball 2015 Edition

    Ah, yes. I'm also reminded of the alien with the cold from the movie Flight of the Navigator whenever I see Bryce Harper.

    Around Baseball 2015 Edition

    Jason Werth out till August (as a best case scenario) with wrist fractures. Tough break for the Nats.

    Alberto Callaspo Possibly Being Traded

    I agree with this (as I've stated many times before). I really do like Jace Peterson and think he can be a valuable piece (and perhaps even an above average starting 2B over the course of his career) but I believe having JUp in our lineup with Peraza or any of our other potential filler middle...

    Alberto Callaspo Possibly Being Traded

    Quite frankly, they had me at "Braves trade Stults, Callaspo, ..." Of course it's still not yet official but assuming it's as reported, I'm immensely pleased we didn't include Cody Martin in the package. I like Withrow more, mind you, but it would have dulled the shine a bit if Martin was...

    Alberto Callaspo Possibly Being Traded

    We are only taking on a little over 1m in commitments- you aren't factoring in Stults' 2m base.

    Alberto Callaspo Possibly Being Traded

    Unfortunately the story is grounded in fact. Matt McCarthy detailed (painfully) the whole event in his book "Odd Man Out" - I never would see either Aybar or Callaspo the same way again.

    Sherman: Braves offered Heyward 80M after 2013

    I am tempted to comment, but I shall respectfully digress. :)

    5/17/15 Braves @ Marlins

    I actually agree with this. I was always a fan of the Heyward trade (putting aside my fandom of Heyward), but I wasn't keen on the return for Justin Upton. I do like Jace, but I felt like we had middle infield options who could have provided more offensively in combination with Justin (not...

    GDT 5/1/15 Braves vs Reds

    Hold up. I never said one damn thing about Upton; only that Heyward was asking for the moon and stars. Mind you, I admitted that my source is obviously towing the party line (given his role)- but I am not a blind homer. Like you, there were some trades this year that I liked far better than...

    Hector Olivera signs with the Dodgers

    I'm a big fan of parody as well. As in Mad Magazine or Weird Al Yankovic or even Bob Dylan's Blowin' in the Wind. Parity is a whole separate topic, however.

    Jason Heyward Open to Extension w/ Cardinals

    You are correct in that my source also could arguably have an incentive to spin - on behalf of the org. I don't believe that to be the case here, but I do acknowledge that possibility. After all, all of this is hearsay except for those who were in the room at the time the discussions were held-...

    Jason Heyward Open to Extension w/ Cardinals

    Again I don't know what Casey told Jason or not. He could have said the Braves want to talk but on unreasonable terms based on their side's valuation of Jason approaching FA. That's conjecture on my part to be fair- again I have no idea what he may or may not have said to Jason. I believe what...
