Braves Sign Will Smith

Surprised. To put it mildly.

Makes me think we'll go cheap at 2 of the 5 spots in the rotation.

Yeah. This says he wants to build a dominant....hopefully... bullpen and stay in house with our rotation for now. We might see some bullpen type games next year too.
 
I guess AA figures if we have our bullpen situation more settled in to start the year it'll be better.

Melancon and Greene gone after next season. So at least keeping Smith brings stability for when they leave.
 
The price is below market. Georgia guy coming home. Smith is definitely better than Britton. And 2 years ago Wade Davis landed a bigger deal.

I think its a good deal, but not sure if it makes sense for us with obvious holes elsewhere, unless payroll is getting a boost
 
It's a market-deal in the spot where the market is at it's absolute most moronic. I don't hate it, but I sure don't like it.

Value is value.

I think this leaves us room to sign a third baseman. Which means going cheap catcher and two spots in the rotation.

Unless we trade someone who is still young and cheap. Say Matt Boyd for the rotation.

I think it's below market when you look at guys like Wade Davis and Zach Britton, who are both inferior to Smith.
