If Beachy is healthy how would you not want that rotation? All 5 of those guys can win 15 games and have ERA's sub 3.50. Minor,Teheran and Medlen is a solid three though I do question Beachy's health and if Wood can handle a full work load as he did get lit up in September. Medlen and Minor are...

I agree. We should sign Hudson because as much as I hate to say this we have no idea what we will get from Beachy.

Yeah, he did hit .300+ in Lynchburg with only 1 HR so I'm sure he could hit .280 and might eventually have a year like that but he showed some real good signs in the second half posting an OPS close to .800 which with his defense would make him elite. Offensively he's looking like JJ Hardy which...

Honestly I don't really care what he does with the bat he's so great defensively that if he hits .250 20 HR's and an OBP of .325-.350 I'm more than fine with whatever he wants to do. He's a gamer and if Uggla and BJ weren't such garbage at the plate he would be hitting 8th anyway which are...

well you can blame Dayton Moore's great trade for James Shields last year. I mean if I was Tampa's GM I guess you should expect a massive haul for Price seeing as he got Wil Myers and some other players for James Shield, Wade Davis and some scrub named Elliot Johnson. James Shield is an under...

And to think some GM's wanted this guy as a pitcher. What a steal this guy was. He's just so exciting to watch and the best part is the guy is only going to get better. I'm surprised he had as much power at the plate as he did.

I'm sure La Stella's range isn't great or even his arm but his fielding % show that he doesn't make many errors for what it's worth. Kendrick is just not a good hitter,IMO. He hits for a decent average but the guy doesn't take walks and is a free swinger. something we have plenty of and...

It is a good question. I remember them bringing Otis Nixon in during the spring for some pointers a couple of years ago. Oh Nate McLouth, how disappointing. I remember thinking how we got a steal of a trade and now Pittsburgh has 25% of their rotation from our farm system even though Morton was...

Oh yeah and I got my question answered. I'm JP.

http://www.baseballamerica.com/minors/afl-notebook-tommy-la-stella-can-hit/ BA is doing a few pieces on the Braves today but most are pay.

While Hursh's ERA looks great the BB/K rate is not so great and for a college pitcher with a power arm I would expect more K's/IP from him than what was posted at single A.

I understand the wanting of a player who has done it on the ML level and I think we all know Janish and Johnson are trash and should never get any significant playing time ever. I also am not counting on anything from Pena and Pastor is coming off an injury and to me he's a bench player at best...

Yeah I stated in another thread that no way in hell I would mortgage the future for one year. Price is good but is he dominant? I mean if you look at his numbers this year and compare them to Teheran's and I would say Julio had a better season in his first full year. When I think of an Ace I...

I really don't understand why people keep putting Howie Kendrick's name out there. He's not very good and to be getting paid like he is I'd much rather have Phillips if the Braves feel the need to go after a 2B which I doubt happens anyway.

If that's the case then I will pass. I love David Price and would love for the Braves to have a legit ace but we can't really afford to gamble away our future for a player who will get a ton of money from a big market team and Wood and Sims could be very good pitchers. Price is a pretty good...

I think as long as your lead-off man gets on base at a 35% clip or higher then you have a pretty successful lead-off man. Look all through MLB and you will find 3 lead off hitters who had an OBP higher than .350 last year. Seriously, go look it up and you will see how difficult it is to find a...

Peraza does have some work to do with the bat but as nsacpi stated he had a really great second half and he's very young so there is some great signs from him that make you think he can become a good every day player. I don't know if he will ever become a Rafael Furcal player but I think there...

What a terrible stat line. I like my 2B to go 0-3 with 2 k's and 5 men LOB, you know like the one we've had the past few years.

I would be willing to guess most players that get 500 ABs have hit 20 HRs in their career.
