I think the 17 million tag plus the injury concerns would reduce the price of prospects by a good bit.. you are only buying at most 2 expensive years of a guy coming off a down season. The fish are not going to be competing within that window and they should absolutely be looking at trading...

I don't think so.. I think a player can only have one QO attached to him now. and that was this year.. really puzzling sign by the Dads..

I didn't say he was never successful.. just seems he left a lot on the table with his stuff.. He was good for sure.

And this is why you don’t give a team a competitive advantage based on some douche’s voting habits.

I am in the Alcantara camp as well. He never reached success with the fish but I think he can with another org with a really good pitching coach. Like the Braves.

I can the negative with ranger. Contact guys are risky in that a little loss in control could produce horrible results. You also have to always worry about those BaBip games. I would rather stay away from him but I most certainly see why GM’s like him.

his sinker is plus to plus plus.. his change is above average and his BB% is elite.. combine that with 5 pitches he throws consistently.. then I could see him aging well. But do I want the Braves to pay him 5 years 100+ million.. probably not. But I can see the attraction a front office...

It will. But somehow it will also not penalize them going forward. It should be immediately counted towards lux tax or a cap if implemented.

newsweek is in the business of predicting FA contracts?? what has this world come to...

I think I would rather go back to the FF/Olson debate over the Dicks and asshole talk happening currently.

cold play is still pitching.. color me shocked.

here is the probable 13 if the season started today. I think the pen will need another arm or two emerge, because you can't have Dodd, Wentz, and Elder in the same pen.. I think wild cards to break camp and bump one or two of these guys are (Daysbel, Payamps, Burkhalter, Karinchak, Hayden...

Again, the Braves have to be thinking about winning and not saving pitchers to get to the post season.. They did that 2 years ago and had to fight to the last day to get into the WC round. putting Waldrep in AAA so you can use Elder IN CASE of an injury is just doing the same damn thing...

Bummer might be a good enough lefty reliever that a richer team might give us a $1 scratch off ticket for him and take his whole salary. If used correctly, Bummer isn't horrible.. just never used right here and he shouldn't be a high leverage reliever unless it is against 2 lefties.

I don't think everyone is grasping that you can't just keep Elder back in the wood shed and polish him off when needed. If the Braves start the year with Sale/SS/SS/Lopez/Waldrep/Holmes all healthy.. then I don't see a place for Elder to sit on the bench and take a valuable 26 man spot on the...

If I eat crow will you skip my asshole. I mean Cys mom is available I am sure.

because it is either an infield pop up or a homer.. OF defense doesn't exist in that park.

not realistic unless Texas eats a lot of money.. his salary would bump the team over the last Tax threshold and start impacting the draft picks. I don't see that happening.

nah, that is me.. nothing exciting.. my adult son just got his first real job and my wife told me that his job already sounds more exciting than mine does. My oldest daughter says I am Chandler on Friends because no one in my house really knows what I do.. when friends ask them, they say I...

He always seemed like a good pitching coach away from being elite... a quick look at his savant data tells me that he has a couple of good pitches and a really horrible curve that he should not be using 500+ times... so again.. he might be a good pitching coach away from being elite.. That...
