That's a lot of pepperoni.

This was the worst extension on paper.

They do this every year.

He's kind of got the old Walter Mitty thing going on, but the pictures of Walter in the old anthology textbook didn't make him look as angry.

He went out of his way to suck up to team without ever having any good scoop. Not being an AJC subscriber never read his features, but found what I did read of his writing to be annoying in style.

I am not sure how they could trade either for a single season of Peralta and I'm generally extremely receptive to dealing prospects. Unless they think and know they are selling high on a Waldrop.

The tone seems a little aggressive but I guess filling the needs of a team might be considered an average performance by a GM. The Braves made the decision on the core awhile back. They rise and fall with it. This is filling in the margins with the resources they have available. If the...

If he'll sign shorter deal Braves should still bid.

Will miss his leather jacket and super curated classic lyric drops. That's one cool dude.

I agree with most of that but it wasn't quite what I was getting at. The last part - the debate of whether it's worth it to trade Roy was more my focus. To me I'd take the zero surplus value free agent and give up the draft pick rather than trade rotation depth for a rental. I suppose it...

I get confused sometimes by the way folks value things. Why be more willing to give up 6 years of control of a close to MLB pitcher (plus) for one year of Peralta then giving up a second round pick for multiple years of a free agent?

Marlins probably better off going he has a good start to season and try to get a nice deadline package out of him.

Looks like the movement, spin, and velocity are pretty much the same. Appears maybe his mechanics and release points are most significant change.

He's not too far off a K per inning. I understand that's not great any more, but we aren't talking about an all contact guy.

His Savant page is very red.

No reason why he couldn't potentially be the garbage man, but that's mostly fair.

Likely because it was a one year pillow as opposed to less AAV on a multi-year.

The real treasure is the friends we met along the way.

I think they'd have stayed over if the right deals had fallen to them, but they weren't going over for deals they didn't feel good about. The Dodgers also greatly distorted the market last year.

Not sure how it's a gamble paying off, but seems like a reasonably good move. Doesn't blow me away but better than Nick Allen.
