That’s what I meant, obviously. So did wupk.

Nice edit.

Rosenthal briefly discussed the Braves' pursuit of a starter on his podcast. Thinks Framber Valdez is unlikely. Not much substantive -- they really want a good starter, no one quite knows who that will be.

The Shane Baz trade does complicate things a bit on the trade front. The Orioles were so dumb. And now teams are gonna point to that deal as the basis for what their SP is worth.

I had frankly thought with Ozuna leaving we’d pursue a bigger bat, because most of the year we couldn’t hit shit

AA definitely traded impact for depth. It’s hard to fault him for that after getting kicked in the teeth by injuries and lack of depth lately.

With Doubon not starting I guess we have the position versatlity to use Ozuna as a PH and occasional starter at DH. Odds are injuries will get him plenty of at bats.

 

[Super]

Also have to remember that there’s a competent hitter at short for the first time in a couple years. Going from Allen to Kim is quite a jump. That plus proper use of Yaz and Dubón should cut down on the impact of losing Ozuna.

I mean MO didn’t hit much last year so it ain’t like we gotta replace a ton but still

Well, the team finished below .500 last year.

Oh yeah which is why I really thought we’d go bigger for a bat but ozuna didnt contribute much at all. The whole lineup sucked

He was hitting normally until the injury.

 

[mfree80]

The flexibility of this lineup SHOULD more than make up for the loss of MO’s bat.

Hope it works out that way.

Ozuna started hot. I think playing as a bench bat he wont wear down so fast.
