So the 181 PA's against lefties last year should carry more weight than the 1000 plus AB's over the course of his career? I guess some players just figure it out once they hit 30.

If the Braves were to sign Moustakas, Riley would probably be needed as a platoon player at 3rd. Everyone seems to forget that Moustakas is a below average against lefties in his career.

So if JD would have signed an extension in August would we still forfeit a draft pick??? But seriously. I think the chances of signing JD to a two year deal with a third year option are pretty good. I just don’t think his market is that strong. A Duvall/Neck platoon will be ok the first...

If he is making the same amount of money then this may be the most pointless transaction of the entire offseason. Or The Braves could be signing Cole and Rendon the need the luxury tax space.

I read it thinking AA saved 2 million. Which if correct, is another good move by AA. My next move would be to decline Neck and offer him 1 million. If I’m doing my math correctly that would save 5 million.

I’m almost positive Grandal can not be given a QO. The Dodger gave him one last years. He declined and signed a one year contract with the Brewers. Only multi year deals require a team to forfeit a draft pick.

I think you are spot on. The question is are the Mets or Phillies dumb enough to beat that kind of offer. IMO there are only a handful of teams that would benefit from JD. The teams are the Angles, Mets, Phillies, Brewers, Cards and maybe Nats. The Angles have been burned so many times by...

Josh Donaldson - Braves Gerrit Cole - Phillies Anthony Rendon - Nats Marcell Ozuna - Reds Madison Bumgarner - Padres Yasiel Puig -Giants Cole Hamels - Phillies

The easy answer would be the Pardes. Maybe Dbacks or Sox. There is also the possibility of a team that feels its window is short and Folty is that win now piece. Really the concept of the idea is to trade the most volatile asset on the team for a solid consistent asset. Let’s face it...

How about picking up the JT option. Then try to trade Folty for a good young player, any position, to a team that is close to being competitive but needs pitching. I think a team could be convinced to overpay for Folty. I’m not sold on Folty, he could turn into a pumpkin anytime. The money...

The Braves are in a good financial position. Yes they have debt. But they also have real tangible assets. I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Braves up payroll this year. The Biily Hamilton and Melacon deals last year make me think that money available to expand payroll.

When in the history of baseball has a player had his option turned down then resigned with the same team at a 30% discount? We Iike to hate him but JT has some value on the open market. An under 30 pitcher that can give you 170 plus innings a year is not scrap heap stuff. Yes 7 to 8...

Luke Jackson in a top 10 CY candidates list. LOL! Is this fake news?

It might be hard for the Braves to tank a game. I assume a tank lineup would consist of 2- Flowers 3- Camargo 4- Culbertson 5- Cervelli 6- Hech 7- Ortega or Duvall 8- Hamilton 9- Joyce Over 162 games that would be bad group. But they could definitely steal a few games with just a little...

The Braves will be able to extend Donaldson a QO which should depress his market value some. Because of the QO AA has the advantage over the other teams that will want him. Donaldson signed quickly with the Braves this winter. I know money was a factor but the speed makes me think he really...

September will be an interesting month. The Gnats have seris with the Cards, Twins and Indians remaining in addition to thier remaining NL east schedule. The best out of Division team the Braves play are the Giants at Suntrust. I can see Gnats fading a bit if thier hitting cools off a...

Maybe Seitzer can work some magic with him.

Remember in March at the end of spring training when the Braves were the 4th place team in the division because AA only spent 30 million on FA’s, and didn’t trade away any prospects? Now every team except the Braves are a dumpster fire. The Gnats, Mets and Phillies all have long term problems...

Is Freddie the most underrated star in the MLB? He is consistently in the top 3 players at first year after year but her never seems to get national attention.

Were you at the game? Pache took over the game. He is definitely the best player on the field. Pache threw a runner out at home to save a run in extra innings. He also made a throw earlier in the game that saved a run. Pache is looking like a future star. Waters is not shabby either.
