I actually am a fan of the rebuild and think it was overdue. Except for a couple of questionable moves, with the Olivera trade front and center, I think this FO has done an excellent job. I'm also not impatient. I've been a diehard Braves fan since 1966 and have lived through many laughing...

Thanks Rico for these stories. Well done and appreciated.

If I had "stepped into the gutter", I would agree with your point. However, I would like to know what part of stating I didn't think he would amount to much at the major league level due to his career minor league stats is going into the gutter? The answer, it didn't. I said nothing negative...

So let me get this straight, posters can't have opinions on players unless they are either glowing, or meet your specifications. Duly noted.

OK smartass, you think you are so smart, his career minor league ERA is barely under 4, with a WHIP of 1.40. His K/BB ratio is barely 2. None of that is anything special at all. You see hundreds of guys like him all the time that never amount to **** in the big leagues. Further, his first 34...

I don't think Folty will ever amount to anything at the major league level. He's never been more than a decent minor league pitcher. He throws hard but that's about it, and those die on the vine all the time.

We do have one catcher in the system that could turn out to be quite good. Jonathan Morales, in his first 55 games (GCL last year, Rome this year) has a slash line of .329/.386/.509/.895. His first 9 games at Rome have been very impressive. He is 21 and could be ready by 2018. He is our best...

Fredi has Bobby Cox in his corner, so this losing is going to have to continue for a good while before they might fire him. If we are 20-61 at the mid-point, that might be bad enough.

Thank goodness we have a strong minor league system to track, cause our major league club is a joke and the laughing stock of baseball. We absolutely suck. :facepalm:

We are an absolute joke and the laughing stock of baseball. Damned embarrassing. :facepalm:

My early impression is that we suck hind tit and will lose 100. We are right at the cellar in every major statistical category. We are just terrible. :facepalm:

Cervenka, with the sparkling career minor league ERA of 4.56, WHIP of 1.514, and De La Cruz at 4.10, WHIP of 1.383. Neither one of these guys is worth a damn, yet we are bringing up these bums? This is the best we can do? Goddamn :facepalm::mad0182:

Ditto, and if it causes us to lose a couple more all the better to help secure the #1 pick in the 2017 draft.

My god this team is terrible. Absolutely embarrassing. :facepalm:

Unless they are going to send Mallex back down when Inciarte comes back, this is really poor move. No need at all to start his clock in a wasted year.

Ahhhh, we suck :pound:

Ahh, we suck :mad0182:

In the unlikely event both Groome and Lewis were available at 3, which would you select? Conversely, if both were gone, then who?

Completely agree, made no sense to keep any of those guys over Terd and Todd.

Yep, and a dozen ranked 55 or higher. That is really strong.
