    8/11/2015 TUESDAY MINORS THREAD .... BBA's Best Tools for 2015

    Ho hum. Another day at the office for Austin. Glad to see him back in the lineup too

    Farewell to Wood, Peraza, Jimmy Johns, and Avilans.

    Dodgers call up Peraza. So we gave up 4 major league pieces, in effect, for possibly one or two ready MLB pieces in Olivera and Paco. Bleh.

    Implications of the Trade

    I have no knowledge of whether Heyward was himself contacted (I would imagine he was, but I don't know and doing so would be pure conjecture on my part). However Casey Close was fully engaged in several calls and Close clearly indicated a price range that was well north of what the Braves felt...

    7/2/15: GDT - Washington Nationals @ Atlanta Braves

    Please make good on your previous statements and leave. You add nothing to these forums and are a constant drag. It's one thing to have founded criticisms of the organization or a particular move (all of which I respect) but you are nothing but a negative troll.

    Mallex Smith promoted to AAA

    The "hit tool" is among the hardest for scouts to accurately project. However, Mallex clearly has very good bat to ball skills and his speed is a definite plus when combined with same. I would be surprised if he's not in Top 100 lists (or, at the very least, in the "near miss" column).

    Braves acquire RHP Touki Toussaint & Bronson Arroyo for Filthy Phil Gosselin

    So...top 50 prospect for Gosselin? I'm officially a Posibrave.(note I am aware Toussiant is not yet a top 50 prospect but he's got the age and stuff to be on there if his results improve in the minors- and I suspect they will under our system tutelage)

    Cardinals being investigated by FBI for hacking

    This is pretty darn serious. Knowledge of the breach may not be imputed to the highest levels within the organization (unless actual facts of same are discovered), but the benefit of that knowledge must be imputed to all levels of the organization.. and the existing cybercrime and hacking laws...

    2015 June Draft Results Thread

    If Mallex keeps his current pace up, he's a shoe in for Top 100.

    Bullpen

    Dana Eveland just opted out of his contract with the Red Sox. He needs to be on the red eye to Atlanta asap for his physical.

    6/1/15: GDT - Atlanta Braves @ Arizona Diamondbacks

    The aforementioned Eury Perez would do just fine (with Cunny moving over to a corner). Or Peraza. Or Mallex Smith. Anyone but EY.

    Wow. So he does workout with a pink, glow in the dark wristband...

    Ah, yes. I'm also reminded of the alien with the cold from the movie Flight of the Navigator whenever I see Bryce Harper.

    Jason Werth out till August (as a best case scenario) with wrist fractures. Tough break for the Nats.

    Alberto Callaspo Possibly Being Traded

    I agree with this (as I've stated many times before). I really do like Jace Peterson and think he can be a valuable piece (and perhaps even an above average starting 2B over the course of his career) but I believe having JUp in our lineup with Peraza or any of our other potential filler middle...

    Alberto Callaspo Possibly Being Traded

    Quite frankly, they had me at "Braves trade Stults, Callaspo, ..." Of course it's still not yet official but assuming it's as reported, I'm immensely pleased we didn't include Cody Martin in the package. I like Withrow more, mind you, but it would have dulled the shine a bit if Martin was...

    Alberto Callaspo Possibly Being Traded

    We are only taking on a little over 1m in commitments- you aren't factoring in Stults' 2m base.
