Braves sign Collin McHugh

[bravesnumberone]

Bowman said preferably a LH hitter, cross out Soler? Rosario, Joc or Conforto it is.

Preferably a LHH who can play center. I don't see Duvall holding up there over the course of a season and would rather Ronnie not have to play there much coming off the injury. I would also like us to get Soler at the right price. We're going to need an extra OF with Ronnie out for a few weeks. I'd rather Heredia not be in the everyday lineup.

I kinda like the Matt Duffy idea. Could always move Riley to LF in a pinch.

DOB said McHugh will be strictly a RP. Wonder what SP, that AA is targeting?

Grienke. I'm gonna keep calling it till I'm wrong

 

[drewdat]

We found Bill

 

[CJ9]

If it’s not Greinke, I don’t know who it would be. The rest of the free agent starter market is just so bad - and I’m not even remotely excited about Greinke. After what we gave up for Olson, I don’t think we can afford to give up a lot for a meaningful starter though.

Omg people. Greinke SUCKS now.

I’d rather have Michael Pineda

 

[Hudson2]

I’m gonna guess Greinke to unless he pull off a trade somehow. He’s an innings eater veteran #4 starter.

171 ip last year with around a 4 era,

We need those IP

Second half last year was bad and in the playoffs

 

[Heyward]

Chris Archer, Cueto and Greinke are like the only ones out there. Honestly might be best to give our young guys a shot for the 4-5 slots.

 

[ixiXSolidXixi]

I think Cueto or Greinke for fifth starter is solid specially with our bullpen. They need to give us five innings.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Every year people say let the young guys battle it out for the back end, and almost every year we are hit by injuries and are scrambling to get those innings covered. Can never have enough pitching.

Yep. People say the 4/5 spots now but it’ll end up being 3 spots and we are in trouble if that happens. AA knows this and will get a veteran starter.

I would want Pineda over all of those

We need an innings eater. Not someone who's gonna miss half the season.

I've been in on Cueto for a while. Clear injury concern but when he's on, he's a huge asset.

Also, and seriously, look out for Teheran.

Offer a million plus incentives to either one. See who takes it first.

That’s how you miss out on David Ortiz.
