    I didn't miss many of those saves at the end of the season that moved the Braves out of the top five draft odds.

    except the fences are little league level. He has a worse than bullpen fastball and wasn't successful in the minors.. this would be a huge nothing burger if it didn't happen the day after not protecting your 2nd round flame thrower that is just now getting back from arm surgery that you used a...

    Braves Acquire Mauricio Dubon For Nick Allen

    yeah, that was basically what I was saying. He looks like a great pickup as long as there is some more moves to come.

    no problem 50.. Just really don't get it.. the Braves drafted him in 2nd round 3 years ago and he had TJS so they really haven't seen much of him, but decided to leave him unprotected for a bottom feeder to stash in their pen for a year.. you basically wasted a 2nd round pick from 3 years ago.

    Braves Acquire Mauricio Dubon For Nick Allen

    Doesn't that imply Dubon is a better fielder than Allen? although, I doubt Dubon would be that much better over a 1000 innings as there would be some hits for plays he couldn't make.

    I love Jacob..wanted him before Texas signed him.. but we also know Lopez is elite when healthy.. so is he worth 50 million more over the expected production of Lopez. I agree that Jake is less risky than Lopez.. so I think it is a legit debate and I can argue for both sides.. I just don't...

    Braves Acquire Mauricio Dubon For Nick Allen

    Yeah, I have to think the Stros have an internal option to replace Dubon for cheaper along with using Allen as a pinch runner and late inning defense sub on the infield.. more about shedding payroll over who they get in return.. AA probably asked them to take Allen so he didn't have to worry...

    Braves should have held Waldrep back a few starts to keep his rookie status in tack.. not really, but I would think he would be a favorite going into the year if he still had that status.

    but is that worth 50 million over 2 years.. Don't get me wrong.. would love Jake.. but I think the Braves wouldn't touch that without the Rangers kicking in more money, even with Lopez offsetting some.

    I think the hope is Holmes is back in the pen/spot starter... But I would rather see a mid tier pitcher get acquired and then another young gun be given a serious look in spring with Lopez and Holmes in the pen. Strider/Sale/Schwelly/waldrep/Bassitt type is a good starting 5, but that...

    you can play 3b just as well.. and probably after you take your 'meds'... He was a butcher at 3b..

    I fine with Iggy if the pen is used correctly and he is just not given the out dated 'closer' role.. I hope the new pitching coach is an advocate of BP by leverage and not BP by role.

    I still think AA grabs Kim and a Bassitt type pitcher to round out the major signings.. then one trade for a reliever with a few years of control left that was on no ones radar.. and then a few filler BP and bench signings closer to spring.

    I think McCabe could be a good MLB player as a bat first 1b/DH type.. but those guys don't hold a ton of value in the league, so I can see why the Braves rolled the dice on him.. Burkhalter makes no sense to me. .especially after trading for the ass-shat from the Rox yesterday and having him...

    agreed.. which is why I am not sure the Braves would do it. Degorm has a bit better lineage as being elite and at least pitched last year.. but Lopez is about 50 million cheaper over the next 2 years.

    Loqez, sale, and strider is already holding a powerball ticket. seems more like you are trading one ticket for another at this point.
