touki is far and away the braves best prospect at this point.

Braves f'd up by not unloading him at the deadline...

markakis is also having the best year of his life. good lord people...the game isn't just played on fangraphs.com

have you ever played a team sport beyond t ball? serious question...

and if you're trading away the future for an insurance piece to sit on the end of the bench, you're probably making a mistake.

ok but that's not the point one bit of this thread so im just led to believe you aren't capable of actually participating in a useful manner and should step away.

when i say arguable and you start nitpickig about freeman being MVP, it's clear you don't really have a point but just want to be difficult. flaherty hasn't played in a month. what are you really going to give up for what will be better than what you have as the last bench spot? and if it...

why am i not shocked that people who only see numbers would not understand. you don't know sisters huh? markakis is having a career year and you'd **** with that for a piece that wouldn't really change much anyway? whatever buddy.

not sure what the issue here is. that seems to flow exactly with what you're saying. keep the young core together unless the deal is too good to be true or something like that. but in fact i don't think the braves should do much of anything involving getting rid of talent. i'm not even...

100% agree

except for he's the brother in law of markakis. there's a human aspect to building a team that so many don't get. like when they had that kid skip his AA all star start a few years ago only to never be heard from again. at some point there's a human aspect that WAR can't measure. for...

who knows. he might still be in diapers.

yes. Randy Johnson was a total slam dunk and the Braves would have more world titles had they somehow acquired him, not that that was ever an option.

i dream that one day the braves will be the team that can take the next randy johnson at the deadline. agree that trading for rick ankiels isn't the way to go.

he could end up being a very valuable piece in a trade... *note i'm not advocating he get traded midseason for rick ankiel or some other awful nonsense like that.

and the braves want to win next year.

why?

can we talk about why wright is supposedly so much more valuable than touki? the data doesn't really back it up at this point.

that's a great point and the same point i made about giving povse away two years ago. but if touki is as awesome as you guys say, but this time next year he'll be a top 30 prospect anyway and there will be little difference between the two prospects. then again, wright is getting knocked...

i guess i have to spell it out. option 1: keep and develop touki. maybe he turns into dwight gooden next year, but more likely he takes years to develop into a big time mlb starter, if that ever happens. option 2: based on his recent success, talent, and hype, include him in a trade to help...
