2018 Offseason And Targets

[CrimsonCowboy]

This Kimbrel talk makes it seem like folks haven’t been paying attention the last 10 years.

That what it is right now. Just talk. Frankly, I like it because it is something to talk about. Outside of November, this offseason was boring. Nobody here is guaranteeing Kimbrel will sign. The chances may not be great, but unlike Harper and Machado, there is at least some possibility that has to be acknowledged.

So I guess Bryce still hasn’t decided

Why does my post double sometimes. I am not hitting submit twice.

 

[Acuña’s Bat Flip]

btw Norris won bully of the year in 2018

The guy he bullied throws like 105 mph! Bud is fearless!

Making sure to get your point across.

Good thing.

Like Trump - if you say it often enough, somebody's bound to agree.

And you will be whining all year about the bullpen.

Fast forward to hear what Freddie says at the 2:47 mark.

No one tell Jeff that they print OBP on the back of baseball cards these days.

Acuna, Donaldson, and Freeman is a nasty 1,2,3.

From this point....what would you guys consider a successful offseason?

IF we sign Kimbrel while adding Donaldson and signing Neck and Bmac for little to nothing...all while keeping the farm completely in tact....that’s not too shabby.

With no other moves it’s pretty lackluster. Safe, not horrible, just “ok”.

When this started (and although I really like Kimbrel), he would have been the last person I would want us to go after. At this point, he may be the only real impact player left that we could actually afford.

Locking up Acuña or Albies. I’d prefer use to use remaining founds for a 10 million signing bonus on either of them to signing Kimbrel.

Man, it’s just BP but Donaldson’s swing is so beautiful

Agreed, I feel okay if we sign Kimbrel. If we are done, then this has been a pretty bad offseason.

Donaldson offers us the flexibility of moving Camargo around, while Kimbrel would deepen the pen.

Just a thought, remember when the rumor came out the Braves were nearing an agreement with Gonzalez....now word came out that the Marlins really liked Camargo....I wonder if the Braves entertained at least the idea of trading Camargo for JTR, then signing Gonzalez...
