Braves Trade Deadline Rumors
- Thread starter skidlee
- Start date
I'm not talking about age. I'm talking about production in relation to salary.
"Braves are not just going to trade all of their good young players for a guy who is about to get paid"
When did I mention one thing about age with Headley?
You you weren't calling Gattis a young player? Just Wood and Cabrera?
I'm not even sure why you are bringing up age at all. When I am talking about young players the biggest beef I have with trading them is their production for league minimum. I think Headley will be a good player for another 4-5 years. I just don't think his production per salary is going to be greater than the production we get out of the young (cost controlled) players that we get.
Headley is my age. Hell yeah I consider him a young guy.

I think ideally we want only one of Carpentar/Varvaro/Ayala/Loe in the pen. Two would be ok, but one better.
With Downs coming in, we are down to three. My guess is Loe will be the first one to go.
If we trade for another reliever, it will be down to two.
And come September, Wood or a starter can move to the pen.
The pen has done a good job, but with that kind of upgrade we can partly make up for not having dominant starting pitching.

Do you read what you write on here?
Do you read it. Your discussion with BRule was that you thought it was silly that people are using age against Headley like he won't be productive for that much longer in the future. When did I make that claim?
People are obsessed with him for some reason. Good player but the cost is way too prohibitive for the Braves.
You said you didn't want to trade young players for Headley, yet one of the 3 was only 2.5 years younger.
Yes and young players have more to do with their cost controlled nature. Sorry if I didn't articulate the way you wanted.

Very Flirtatious, but Doubts What Love Is.
We should all beseech our various divinities that Kameron Loe never throws another pitch for the Atlanta Braves.
The rotation this season has been, all things considered, pretty dominant actually.

For some reason, it's weird for me to think that you're older than I am. Maybe it's the tenderfooted Medlen avatar?
Shanks Breaking News:
Uggla, Heyward, Wood, and Gattis traded for Greinke, Ethier, and $10 million.
Pastornicky to take over at 2B - FINALLY giving the Braves the leadoff hitter they so desperately need.
Oh, so young has nothing to do with age?

He would only be 10 years late on his "MP" trade going down.

Don't read too much into it, probably just a day off with an afterrnoon game.

On second thought, he could have left to go to Atlanta early in case they have to make a move with Reed Johnson. Remember he tweeked his achilles last night.
