Yeah if we got that far down the list of hitting options that we were considering a bat only player like Schwarber or Alsonso, I think I would rather just bring Ozuna back for 5 million rather than pay either one of those guys around 20+ million annually for 4 years or more.

Well it is now. With all the happenings in the world over the last 20 or so odd years that I have been a part of this evolving community, I feel it's prudent to get our story out there. More people should know there was once a site where a lot of Braves fans gathered to discuss Braves baseball...

I would say Pablo Lopez, but he exited his last start with a forearm tightness. No thanks. Joe Ryan would be fantastic though.

No thanks on Alonso or Schwarber who will both be overpaid for what they are. If I buying any hitter in FA (that we can afford) it's going to be Bellinger. My money is that we start the dialogue on Buxton again.

I doubt you really even love Bill Shanks.

Love Baldelli personally. He and Schumaker are my top choices.

This year we had the 4th highest attendance since Truist opened, despite being the 2nd worst team since it opened. I don't think filling up the stadium is going to be a problem as long as we are spending money and putting out competitive teams. Regarding Trout, I don't want anything to do with...

Their big 3 can match up with anyone. So you never know in a short series. And Pagan and Santillan are the best back end combo in baseball too. If they get to the 7th inning with the lead, they can almost guarantee a win.

The McCaffrey trade was pretty good value for a RB. Especially for a RB that had missed 22 games (and parts of other games) in the previous 2 seasons. The problem was that the Panthers wasted those picks. And honestly, the Niners only got 1.5 years really good years out of CM. He was hurt and...

Astros eliminated. You just hate to see it.

If the Falcons can't win this weekend, they might want to fold up shop. Daniels and McLaurin both OUT this weekend

Except the money the Braves have available to spend is not infinite. Optimistically, we have 100 million to spend this off-season. It's probably a good bit less, but we'll call it that for argument's sake. Spending 40% of that budget on a 36 year old declining MOR pitcher probably isn't the...

Or the better explanation is that his stuff is declining. Lower velocity, lower spin rates, higher EVs, higher hard hit% (career high actually), higher barrel% I could go on, but you get the point. Balls are finding green grass (or the bleachers) at higher rates. He is a solid pitcher and he's...

I can think of 40 million issues.

I wouldn't say negative value. But with the surgery, there is no way a team is giving up a valuable player for him right now. I think he would get claimed if we put him on waivers though, which means there is some positive value.

Disregarding the fact that there is a large divide the last 2 seasons in bWAR (which values actual production) and fWAR (which values imaginary production), there are multiple reasons why this is a bad idea. 1. He's paid 35 million for next year. 40 million if you count the buyout, which you...

Pirates have won 4 of their last 5. Hopefully we mentally check out these last 3 games and the Pirates can take a game or 2. Ideally, we lose the Sale and Strider starts (hopefully losing 4-3 each game with 2 Drake homers and a late inning BP collapse from the usual suspects). But I hope we win...

You can't be serious.

What is the point of starting Chris Sale? Whoever made the decision needs a swift kick in the nards. There is zero benefit to starting Sale. Why do we continually make the worst roster decisions possible? DFA some guy you know is not going to be on the roster next year, then send Waldrep down...

I can't see the Tigers going far regardless. Their roster is really weak. SP is super mediocre after Skubal. BP is the worst among playoff teams. The offense is mediocre as well with no real stars.
