2018 Trade Deadline ROSTERBATION

[Carp]

Feel pretty confident we'll have a new player or two before the nights over.

I’m going to laugh when Atlanta goes hard and really improves the team.

AA is as competitive and as decisive as they come. I would not be surprised at all if the next couple of days include more than one extremely aggressive move, pivotal moves that officially signal the end of the rebuild

 

[nsacpi]

Gohara's gonna help us this year.

big trade with Texas and Archer from Rays would be legit.

 

[msstate7]

Gohara's gonna help us this year.

By acquiring rangers?

By getting us someone to help the MLB club

no doubt... I think the impact on the 2018 team will be substantial, you just never know what next year will bring and I think AA wants to seize this opportunity to catch lightning in a bottle. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised to see 3 more trades in total. I have a feeling we are hearing rumblings now on Sunday about the Rangers, Rays, Yankees because he wants more time to complete the biggest one of all, a jaw dropper that no one sees coming

Should Anthopoulos get Joey Gallo? Kevin Seitzer turn around the career of Joey Bats during the years together with the Jays.

I hope not - there are way too many strikeouts elsewhere in the Braves lineup to comfortably absorb his K%

i don't want gallo...but we are actually one of the lowest strikeout teams

 

[ixiXSolidXixi]

Another thing is Gallo he can cover third base or the left field next year.

yes, collective season analysis confirms that thought - but I would be willing to bet good $ that the numbers for the last month tell a very different story

 

[GeorgiaGirl]

yeah the real problem offensively isn't strikeouts, Dansby and Ronald are the only 2 above 20% (And I'll continue to say this, if Ronald can figure out how to cross the bridge to dropping the K rate to 20-25% as lets be honest, he's going to strike out, he's going to improve from his ups and downs and fast). The actual issue is too many young at bats, too much pressing in RBI situations (although I don't really care about the actual RBI totals) by them that looks bad. And the other one is this one, not enough power, if you don't get a single/walk then an XBH after that, it's too hard to score.

Edit: A perfect example of it is the last Max Scherzer game. Braves worked him over pretty well (especially so early), but because there was few extra base hits, it was way too hard to string together runs. If you're relying on the single, you're relying way too much on good sequencing to score.

yes...its up in july...part of the reason we have struggled to score

Name your stakes.

Don’t clam up and be silent now....

Olney- The perception in the industry is that the outcome of today's Nationals game -- their last before Tuesday's deadline -- will have a bearing on whether Washington is a seller. They trail the Marlins 5-0.

Herrera?

And Madson and one other where the name I'm thinking of escapes me.

It mainly has to do with their rental relievers.

I saw Harper could be dealt if they sell, but i'm not sure who is offering alot with him hitting free agency this winter.

But yeah it's probably Kintzler, Madson, and Herrera that get moved.

june16 - .342 .433 .594 1.027
july29 - .313 .397 .527 .924

that's pretty much an exact numeric representation of what I was saying.

And let's make one thing perfectly clear: in the world that I live in, it takes zero balls to make bold claims or bold statements in an anonymous message board dedicated to fan discussion. You have a terrible habit of mistaking silence in the service of civility and good manners as cowardice and/or confirmation of your own superiority. Your attitude is completely tiresome, and your combative nature in here is truly puzzling. I'm not gonna get into a childish sparring match with you, it's clear that we disagree on a lot of topics, so I'll be ignoring you now - even though you do have some good posts every now and then, it's not worth wading through the 50:1 ratio... so, later!

apologies to the board for playing a part in another thread derail. I thought I was in GDT commenting on this topic, meant to be... Chipper's speach was pretty awesome
