we should get rid of 99% of all regulations and let the weak die and the strong survive like evolution designed us to be.

soooo... no, there is no evidence

actually your entire argument is a fallacy as you are using the past to make assumptions on the future as if they are rules (they aren't) not to mention requiring that we prove the neagtive when you have yet to prove your claim that the Braves will not draft a guy with more value than the...

I DO think the Braves have a decent chance to stay in the #1/2 farm argument even after Swanson gets dropped from lists just due to the sheer volume of top 300 guys we have. It wouldn't take much for Touki, Acuna,Demerrite, Riley, Newcomb...etc to move into the top 50 discussion and suddenly...

I wanted Lewis too, but the strategy used by the Braves was hardly "signability" it was an attempt to get as many high upside picks as they could due to the unknowns of young pitching. I wanted a bat, but their method was hardly some bad thing.

Yeah, like those first 3 guys we drafted last year (Andersons, Wentz, Muller) who are all on or near Sickel's top 200 list.......

http://www.minorleagueball.com/2017/2/13/14598358/top-200-mlb-prospects-for-2017-minor-league-ball 3. Swanson 10. Albies 26. Allard 57. Soroka 58. Newcomb 61. Fried 68. Acuna 89. Anderson 98. Maitan 123. Touki 149. Riley 159. Wentz 183. Pache he had Gohara in our top 10, so he must have...

My favorite position prospect is Acuna, if his power develops, we could be looking at a guy with skills near that of Andruw. (tho probably not at quite that level) 4-6 WAR player tho with his defense, bat and speed. that'll work!

which is odd as the majority of fantasy baseball leagues use the old traditional stats..... I thought maybe the fantasy baseball people were mad cuz he left great american ballpark and thus his stats might go down or something.....

I would put the odds of this happening at under 5%. Our rotation is avg, our lineup below avg, defense below avg and base running avg at best. we are lacking in power, OBP heck looking at our lineup only Kemp,Freeman and Swanson project to exceed a 100 wRC+. not to mention the bench is awful...

Back to the team win projections. I see 76ish as a pretty darn good mid point. I could see them winning 70 and I could see em winning 81-82 it all depends on how they do early. If they are under .500 in July, we will see them trade off as many veterans as they can and the record will move...

it's a done deal, the braves retained his no trade and gave him some extra $$$ (hearing $500k assignment bonus) so he has a no trade clause still.

makes sense. still absolute peanuts. even if he's mediocre to bad he earns his Braves $$$

wonder what Angel Pagan would cost to backup all 3 OF spots.....hmmm

Nah, we need Jace as a utility guy now more than ever since S-Rod might miss the entire year. As far as Dozier goes, that would, IMO, be a mistake. He only has 2 years left and we aren't going to be playoff ready by then. He is the kind of move a team like the Dodgers make to shore up a final...

Not up in arms, it's a good deal with zero risk and zero downside with a lot of potential upside. My point is that people should not expect to see 27 year old Brandon Phillips because he's a below avg player these days. he has the potential to rebound and be averagish, but it's not as likely as...

I am quite interested to find out myself. The dimensions are shallower in the power alleys, but they have the wall that gets larger from L to R. There appears to be a lot of foul ground as well. I reckon it's going to come down to how the wind plays and how the heat impacts ball flight. i...

well, it is wrong. but not by much. BP was 8% below the avg grade for wRC+ if you wanted to take all players who had a plate appearance and their performance and normalize to a scale of 100 being avg (which is what wRC+ does in it's formula) he was a bit below an avg major league hitter...

not really, because not all players start every time, and injuries...etc matter too. In any given season around 350 or so players will get 200 or more plate appearances. last year BP only out hit 135 of them. That means 215 out hit him. Most starting players who accumulate 500+ plate...
