Thats not what I said. If they arent playing a defensive premium position in high school its a red flag. The bat needs to be really special to be drafted high as a HS 1B.

Whose ready for "we did add multiple SP this year. Reynaldo and Holmes are back from injury. Plus we get a whole year from Waldrep" Seriously, watch them roll out a 6 man rotation with Lopez and Holmes in the last spots.

My spider sense tells me a big trade is coming. Probably for a SP. Maybe SS.

Wow. By my math that puts the team at 236 million for the luxury cap of 244 million. I think its safe to say we going over. They aint spending 31 million on 2 relievers if money is tight. I think we will see more significant moves.

Isit me or is the game changing in its view of relievers value. With starters going less and less innings the line begins to blur between starter and reliever. Turning relievers into starters seems to be the new fad. The Harry Ford trade had me scratching my head but then I looked at the...

I think theres a good chance they sign Kim. I think he is their backup plan. If other things fall through and they are left with money to spend they sign Kim. I think he will atleast give us a chance to match whatever the best offer is. That he wants to wait plays into our favor. The Dubon trade...

My early favorites for our early picks #9- Either HS LHP Bolemon or Rojas. Love them both. #26- College SS Tyler Bell is ranked 22nd. I like him. Could jump Southsiene on the depth chart and give us good depth at a big position of need. Otherwise plenty of HS OF to choose from. #50- Jose...

Offense would be crazy good with Yaz and Seager. In fact I would probably split all DH at bats between Acuna and Seager just to keep them healthy. With that offense I can live with Dubon just providing elite defense at SS.

This also is the team reportedly trying to sign multiple high end closers. People need to rethink how the Braves spend money. They will spend but not in terms of big long term contracts. 3 years 60 million deal goes south its a setback. a 7 year 300 million contract goes bad and its an...

No sir, I was told there was no way for his value to crash between the trade deadline and the offseason. Stop spreading fake news.

I have long had a man crush on Seager. So obviously I would be for it. I would think Murphy has to be in it. AA doesnt sound too high on Waldrep. Thats a good starting point imo. Elder is out of options and went to college at Texas. I think he has some value even if barely existent. Throw in...

We need more to play the platoon game. It might look okay when everyones healthy but we probably wont even make it to opening day healthy.

First he counts for 9.5 million against the luxury cap, He is a lifetime .820 OPS vs RHP. .826 last year. He had career bests in walks/strikeouts and exit velocity. Keep in mind his home park in SF is one of the worst hitters parks. He is also a better defender than Acuna/Profar. Combine Yas...

You dont draft for need but there are 3 main positions teams focus on. CF, SS, and catcher. 60% of those SS and CF will move to another position. Its just a really bad sign when a 17 year old is already not athletic enough to play CF or SS. One thing I ask when it comes to position prospects...

Yas is a great signing. Surprised it took 2 years. Above average bat vs RH pitching and better defender than Acuna/Profar. Now we just need Miguel Andujar to platoon with him.

I like a lot of the LHP HS talent. A college OFer might be interesting given our lack of quality prospects at the position.

He is a primary DH who cant stay healthy playing the field.

For Marte I can only see a trade where we take back Eduardo Rodriguez.

Honestly the pen and offense worry me the most. I get the feeling we will end up starting Eli White and other scrubs so the regulars can rotate through DH. Then what happens when the injuries hit and we are starting guys we got off waivers at DH. We desperately need 2 or 3 position versatile...

He has 500 innings at SS the last 4 years and wasnt bad so I gotta think we could maybe get 500 innings at SS and use Doubon as a defensive replacement. CW bat suddenly looks real good at SS. I think the issue with him is his arm. He has no real time at 3B.
