    Who are the comps for this Jenista kid? Lucas Duda maybe?

    WAR and something interesting

    I think Drew is a good guess. I'll guess at Andrew Jones in 2003.

    "Shoeless Joe" Jackson Reinstatement Denied

    Zito beat me to what I would have said. He's dead hence the ban for life no longer would apply. Put it on his plaque.

    "Shoeless Joe" Jackson Reinstatement Denied

    http://www.sbnation.com/mlb/2015/9/1/9237603/joe-jackson-mlb-hall-of-fame-reinstatement-denied Doesn't look like it's going to happen any time soon... That's very unfortunate in my opinion.

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

    Peraza is being sent to the Dodgers AAA affiliate in Oklahoma City. I'll be able to see him in person which is cool. It's still not enough for me to like this trade.

    Braves trade for more slot money from the Dodgers.

    So if we can't get below the international FA cap does that take us out on Maitan or just limit who else we can sign? This was a lot to give up of that's the case...

    Hart says "Stay Tuned"

    Maybe that'll change with the new ballpark. Obviously we don't know how it will play. My guess is that left field would play about the same and right field being a little more hitter friendly.

    JUST AN ANNOUNCEMENT

    Thank you Rico for all your hard work on the '66 Braves team. I've learned so much already about the players and look forward to all of the future installments. Having been a fan since 1988, and not having lived during that time(I'm only 33 years old) this has been a great way to learn history...

    Braves donate Justin Upton to Padres for prospects

    24 million dollars to spend... or to save for "the future". How the Braves at this point can't put money with B.J. and/or Johnson to get them moved is crazy to me. Even if we had to eat HALF of their contracts it would be worth it. We would still be saving money. I'm not sure that we are done.

    Here is what a last place team looks like

    We traded Varvaro... Now, it's a first place team! :)

    Why Now IS The Time To Wipe The Slate Clean

    I agree. What I'm getting at is that if we keep the guys we have and sign someone like Emilio and a 5th starter AND if these 3 have bounce back years, then we have the makings of a playoff contender. I know those are big ifs but it's possible. Otherwise, I'd prefer to trade who we can outside of...

    Why Now IS The Time To Wipe The Slate Clean

    Excuse my ignorance but if we are hoping that CJ, BJ, and Minor have bounce back years so that we can get more value out of them wouldn't that make the 2015 Braves a contending team? If that's the case, why blow the whole thing up? I've been lurking around this forum for a long time and have...

    SO..What will be the name of the new stadium?

    I'm with Crimson and KL on this one. It just makes sense to go with the big companies like Coke/UPS/Suntrust. Suntrust may be a slight dark horse but still can't be ignored. The play on words could work well for UPS (UPS Grounds) Coca-Cola Park is possible but I see them sponsoring something...
