Over here at that pay rate it's 40% fed, 7% fica, plus state tax if that state has state tax. It GA it would be 5% so total he would be paying 52% tax here. If he were playing in NY or CA it would be more than 56%.

6 years signing in the U.S. if he made it to the majors after 4 years in the minors, his total earnings would be around 3 mil. Sounds like he made a good decision to me.

maybe liberal networks think they would be a better fit in more liberal states.

I know he played on Friday, so when will he play next? Did anyone hear anything about him? Did they say they were going to hold him back again for any reason?

I heard that he was working on running in a way that would put less strain on his legs so he would be less likely to have another injury this year.

If I can only pick one player it's Sean Newcomb. Between him and Teheran, if they both are on one game and off the next and you never know what your going to get from them both, it's going to be a bad year. We need one of them to step up and be a tor pitcher and I think Newcomb is most likely...

No not really, you actually helped make my point, just not as strong. You agree that he was no saint and that's all I wanted to point out. Every great man has a history and baggage. My comments were not right wing, but just to say that all people have stuff. I do. I bet you do too. We can...

I have no idea who you are talking about, but I don't see people celebrating people who wanted to enslave others in Georgia as a reason for celebrating those people. Now if you have a complaint about great men and leaders in this country, that owned slaves (most of them were in norther states...

Yep. He has no clue. Might have made some good points but putting that in the middle of it was just so off in his argument that it ruined the rest of his post, for me anyway.

I have a question. Every time I see a trade possibility here, it has Riley mentioned in it. Do we not think we need Riley? If we don't sign Donaldson long term, and I don't know why we would start with a 1 year deal if we wanted him long term, who will play third next year? If we go back...

I agree. And I still think there might be a plan to see what we need after we see who's not going to perform and get it midseason.

I would rather have markakis back.

A good creative contract for Pollock is pay him per game played.

I really don't understand why you wouldn't want to try Riley in Left? Does anyone think he's not ready for the majors?

Craig Kimbrel or Adam Ottavino. If you could have either one on a 3 year contract who would you pick? I think I would prefer Ottavion personally.

I still think the Braves will end up resigning Nick Markakis. Not because I think he will be great, but because he may be the best realistic option. My opinion of who I would like to see that may be available, I like Jose Martinez. I know most say his D isn't good enough but I would still give...

Why not just call Austin Riley the left fielder and if he's not ready or can't play the position, find an cOF at the end of spring training?

With as many pitchers as the Braves will probably have next year that are major league ready, they can just play the hot had all year and shift pitchers up and down all year. That will probably work great for the regular season, but will probably not work in the playoffs.

I think he's a good one to have. I would rather see him than joey Gallo that everyone keeps talking about.

Well I think it was a little more than half a year, more like 2/3 of a year and his decline was directly in time with the increased games per month. I'm not going to say he's going to be a great player but I do think he had a great year for him that was side tracked by a tough schedule. I...
