Braves And A's Discussing J. Upton And Gattis?

Is Viz eligible for the minors?

Should have 2 option years left. He came up in September 2011 but wasn't sent back down. He was on the DL for 2 years and you can't send players on the DL down so he got 2 full years of service time for that 2 year DL stint. One option should have been used in 2014.

on a side note the fan graphs projection STEAMER projects Arodys for 1 inning with a 8.90 k/9.

Source close to #Athletics says A's will not be trading Jeff Samardzija to #Braves.
 
Good, i want hitting, not pitching unless its Walker coming back with someone.

I'm glad that deal is not happening just because I think Seattle is the better fit. However, they do need more pitching unless you want to go into next year with David Hale as your fifth starter.
 
They've also said he can be moved to the outfield. I hear we need those.

Sorry, but you're just wrong. He will be playing 1b at the mlb level. If he moves to the OF he will be terrible. He is not someone the Braves should be targeting.
 
Not saying he's untouchable but he's their 1B of the future with Seager now locked up for 7 years, we may have to "settle" for Patrick Kivlehan.

D.J Peterson won't be an outfielder. If that was the case I would MUCH rather have Gattis out there.

I'm glad you and I are on the same page!!
 
There can't be 10-12 teams in on Justin. That probably includes teams like the Astros and Padres who are just hoping to get some good PR.

Why would anyone think the Padres shouldn't be taken seriously if they were interested? They've got pitching depth (and have said they're open to dealing from it) as well as playing on Panda and Tomas so far this winter, so they're obviously looking for offense and not afraid to spend money.

Andrew Cashner and Hunter Renfroe for Upton?

Sign me up.
