Braves acquire Preston Tucker from Astros

[thewupk]

Prediction:

Tucker mashes RHers for ~100 PAs early in 2018 and pozzy-Brave posts about his hugely increased trade value overrun the board. They learned nothing from MAdams.

Intelli-Braves try to explain what's really going on, and all hell breaks loose in a 64 page thread.

Tucker cools off by June, intelli-Braves say, "I told you so", but the pozzies have already moved along to another exciting story...Acuna being called up.

Pozzies still learn nothing.

Enscheff looking in the mirror...

I know the guy is 27 and hasn't hit a lick in the majors in 2 partial seasons adding up to less than 500 PAs, but he's hit well at every level of the minors. i don't mind taking a flyer on a guy like this.

These are the types of players we should’ve been targeting 2-3 years ago instead of Markakis and Kemp. Take a flier on a guy and see what happens.

Excellent call. You are 100% right. Hitting on one of these guys becoming the next Turner/Bautista would have been infinitely more valuable than anything Kemp and Markakis provided.

Tucker is still a good idea now that the Braves are punting 2018. Too bad the only player they took a chance on was Adonis.
