ooops, i replied before I saw this post...... my bad

Toscano wasn't covered by the int free agent pool $$$ and was brought in to hopefully be a 4th OF'er.

If on April first you would have told me we would get 2 minor league arms who should contribute at the big league level in some capacity for Bud Norris I would have made that trade right then. so yeah, this is a fine deal for us, even with the cash added in and Toscano.

Yeah... the way those reports are written sometimes give the reader the impression that someone is trying to cover their behind

sorry, i apologize, but man this flat earth society ranting about modern statistics is getting old. You either evolve with the times or you get left behind.

I'm high on Cumberland too, if he can just be a Piazza level catcher I think his bat will carry him to MLB for a long career.

I did some research on this and there is zero correlation between farm system rankings and minor league team results. Think of it like this: Let's say you have a great and deep farm system ranked in the top 3. That's still only 30 prospects, but those 30 guys are spread between 6 or 7...

ignore him he's a senile old moron. I bet he believes in jesus and thinks evolution is "just a theory" too

apparently you aren't familiar with player value. IF, we took Panda AND they took Markakis, AND added a guy like Espinosa to the deal instead of a low level arm, the value would match up quite well. That would be $36m in net cash + a prospect with value of around $36m

That guy Nicholas look interesting! However, I have a gut feeling that the team is going to end up chasing Weiters. He's a good player and all, but man he's got some injury history and age working against him. Especially for what he will cost. Btw, IMO, if we get ANYTHING for Bud Norris...

I didn't say "need" so don't know what yer quoting there, I just said there is a tiny chance some blockbuster could form where the braves agreed to take on Panda, that's it.(and i said it "might" be worth it.) oddly constructed deals happen every once in awhile. and I agree we wouldn't "need"...

Braves Scouting Director Brian Bridges: "I kind of jumped the gun, and we’ll leave it at that," Braves scouting director Brian Bridges said. "It was wishful thinking on my part, and I tried to make a decision that wasn’t…. It just didn’t work. And he’s a great kid. I wish it would have...

Gotta remember too, most of these guys are like 16-17 years old, who knows what kind of players they will evolve into as they age? Some will be better than their present rank, some worse and most won't even sniff the big leagues. Patience grasshoppas, patience

really? I mean, I agree that there is a tiny chance it happens, but if taking on his deal is what got us that extra good prospect, it might be worth it. (depending on how much $$$ we took on of course)

welp, at least Cabrera gives us a prospect to root for out there, and lighting up the radar gun is always fun too! I hope he just says to hell with it and releases the hounds!

I am not as high in Benintendi as others, but I like Devers a lot, I'd almost take Devers/Espinoza over Moncada tho....... almost

episode 9 may have had the big battle, but I think the finale might have been the greatest episode of the entire series. Man alive was there a lot of activity and resolution of things!

sigh..... you really are a flat earther Managers simply don't make that big of a difference, maybe a handful of games a year, but you want a guy who makes smart decisions on the field. Bobby wasn't very good at this. It doesn't take a modern metric to see this, my old man griped about him...

oh quit being so uptight

Saw a few interesting and/or amusing documentaries in the past few weeks: Jaco- about jazz great Jaco Pastorious, really tragic tale The Rockafire Explosion - it's about that crazy robotic animated music show that used to play at showbiz pizza in the 80's and the fan club that has...
