I really believe that's what it boils down to. People loved Heyward so much that they are willing to question the front office's every move from this point forward. Funny thing is they hate Markakis and he put up similar numbers to Heyward last year. Obviously isn't as good defensively but there...

You can only flip guys who have a good 1st half and teams view them as players that can help them make a playoff push. Nobody is going to be flipped right now, the goal is to accumulate as many of these type players as you can get and hope you are able to trade a couple of them. Might not be...

Why do we care what Zito's cousin thinks?

You can't stop developing your system just because some make it to the majors. You have to continue to draft well and be ready to replace them if need be. If nothing else it would give you trading chips to improve the major league team. Besides outside of Freeman none of the position players...

I don't know what is so hard to understand about this. Under Wren our farm system went from one of the best in baseball to one of the worst. His drafting was horrible. We weren't developing talent. That's why we had to do this rebuild. We had two options, go for it this year and try to go head...

A couple are but they complain about everything.

I still think the whole point to deals like this is to try and flip them at the deadline (assuming he has a good 1st half). Hart knows this team isn't going to be competitive but when you can acquire talent cheap with the potential of turning it into something more you do it. You don't just...

Good deal, Hart knows what he's doing. This is why people shouldn't get all bent out of shape over trade rumors. Wait until the trade is completed and then form your opinion.

So we freak out over trade rumors now?

You know this how? A lot can change between now and next year. We could make some good mid season trades that help us, those teams could fail to live up to expectations or have injuries that set them back. Games are playing on the field, not on paper as KC proved last year. Quit being negative...

Can anyone beat Kentucky? Not even sure some NBA teams could.

70-80 wins.....4th place finish ahead of the Phillies.

It was also a good piece of hitting. He turned on and inside pitch and hit a line drive. The announcers mentioned it was wind aided and maybe it was but at worst he would have gotten a double. It wasn't a pop up that just kept carrying and carrying. He hit the ball hard. I haven't watched...

He reminds me of Willie Harris and Harris had some good moments for the Braves. I don't think we have a lot of good options right now. I don't think it's going to hurt the organization to give him some playing time. That's an overreaction.

Young - 314/397/471/867 Perez - 268/333/341/675

I think Young deserves a chance to start the season as the opening day starter. If you tell someone it's an open competition and then they perform well in spring training and you don't give them the job what message are you sending to them and the team? If he starts to struggle you can always go...

Joe West seems to be in mid season form.

Last year we were a boring losing team.

This will NOT be a good team. I'm sure it will be painful to watch at times.

Everyone seems to be on board with the rebuilding, team chemistry seems to be there. I'm looking forward to seeing where we are in a couple of years.
