FG seems to not have much concern over the Braves injury woes.

I mean, if Acuña, Riley, Albies, Olson and Harris are all healthy all year and not getting Monstar’d then who is playing SS and platooning vs LHP won’t matter much. I’m not counting on that though. Get another bat. Ditto for the rotation.

Fangraphs seems to not believe that injuries exist.

MLB Network ranks Baldwin at No. 4 and Murphy at No. 8 among the game's top-10 catchers.

no one would pay the 8th best catcher in MLB 3/45 though

the Braves have been outstanding at catcher production. Of all the things to criticize them about, catcher seems it should be down the list

That’s fair. My point had more to do with the Braves breaking camp with a hole in the rotation while they pay their backup catcher $15m per year.

I’d argue a little more than we haven’t added any impact to the lineup as two bats are injured

We don’t have the margin for error to start slow, again.

One put off Tommy John
One missed basically all year with a shoulder injury
One will miss a third of the season pulling his groin tying his shoe
One had their arm explode pitching last year

That leaves the guy who tore his UCL twice and Waldrep.

I look at that and think AA could add one or arguably two pitchers.

Only 1 has an option.

I think they should add a starter too, but maybe they wanna wait to the deadline

Murphy is not the backup catcher. He’s 1/2 of a catcher timeshare. I don’t know why people don’t understand that.

Stop being intentionally naive. You know they won’t be healthy opening day.
