Around Baseball Offseason Edition - Derek Jeter will retire at seasons end
- Thread starter The Tariff King
- Start date
Yea I don't see that as a definite. A healthy Beachy and ours is every bit as good.
I am trying to open all the Braves Farm Prospect lovers eyes that this team doesn't have the rotation to win a WS.
Coudn't care less if its Nov. 2nd.
Everyone is saying the braves don't need to do anything when they really do need to do 1 major thing.

What legit ace is realistically obtainable.
I'll wait, and tell me how we can get him.
Dont say Price, thats a pipedream.
A rotation is Julio/Minor/Meds/Beachy/Wood or vet FA is pretty damn good.
Brandon Beachy is not the answer.

Was wondering the same. They were talking about shopping Spann. Maybe he was used.
Where did I say an ACE is needed? Everyone on here as been saying for weeks that we don't need a SP. Stop flip flopping.

As of now, its probably better, IF Beachy is healthy and right, ours can go toe to toe with them.

Uggla and I were discussing that very topic at GNC this morning.

He had a sub-3 ERA before he had TJ, Beachy is a legit 2-3 when healthy.
Not the answer but very good.

The Dodgers had a rotation of Kershaw/Greinke/Ryu/Nolasco and didnt win the WS.
One team wins the WS.
And Garcia went 6 IP, gave up 2 runs, hardly bad by any means.

Fckn Carl Crawford, man.
Why aren't the injury issues for the Nationals stressed more in your opinion? Strasburg is just as likely as any pitcher in baseball to go down with an injury.
I'll take my chances with Beachy as opposed to giving up a bunch of our young players for not a huge upgrade. Last year Wren didn't overreact to the collapse and look where that got us. We are close and I don't believe a drastic change is what this team needs right now. For all we know both Tehearn/Minor could be top 20 pitchers next year. I just don't understand your negativity all the time. I get that I am over the top optimistic about the Braves young guys but the other side is not much better.
That was last year due to freak circumstances and now all of our young guys get another yaer of experience. It wasn't Freddy Garcia's fault we lost that game.

So we should sign a mid-rotation SP whose a marginal upgrade at best if any at all?
What SP should we get.

I wonder the same, gonna be making the big bucks real soon.
Loshe is still the best option IMO.
Lackey is out there and I wouldn't be crazy about getting him but he would bring very good depth and be a vet for the young guy.
I would even talk to the dodgers are Josh Beckett.
I doubt the braves sign one. All the good options are gone now with Josh Johnson, Hudson, and Hughes all signed.
It more then just what could they being on the field that we need to look at.
