GDT: 7/31/13 Rockies at Braves

[Dalyn]

That should be a hit.

 

[The Tariff King]

Crazy that Medlen is the eldest.

 

[CyYoung31]

We are seeing '08 Brian. Pretty damn nice.

Yeah. MVP candidate.

 

[Braves1976]

Average salary per WAR is 4.5 mill. BJ is typically a 4-5 WAR guy. He got paid what he should have.

So I make a point about the market and you switch things up arguing for WAR? OK... This is no different than the Uggla is worth his contract debates. I disagree on both players, esp. considering Atlanta's overall budget.

The Rockies are just making me said now. I love winning but watching a team implode is pathetic.

The market set the price per WAR...You only disagree because of hindsight...

Johnson is starting to be one of my favorite players. Really fun season from him so far.

How did he switch things up? His point is relevant to the discussion.

 

[Braves1976]

Now that it's 9-0 I hope Fredi starts resting players.

 

[Dalyn]

Gattis and Simmons definitely need to rest.

There was some poster, probably a genius in real life, who went on such a rant and rave about Heyward hitting leadoff, and how it was a bad idea to have Simmons leadoff because hitting our worst hitter first is a bad idea. Who was that again?

 

[bravesnumberone]

By my count, we've outscore opponents 40-14 so far on this homestand.

He didn't even acknowledge my point, though he brought up the market demand. He simply ignored it and went on to arguing for WAR value.

Everyone?

Me.

Y'all need to stop hogging my glory.

MY GLORY

Actually, I was always against the deal. I was also hoping to re-sign Bourn but to a shorter deal.

Interesting fact... My brother hit a HR in high school against Todd Helton.
