Looking Ahead - The 2020 Offseason Thread

[Enscheff]

He reminds me of Javier Baez.

Probably better bat speed than Baez...I'm thinking Sheffield-lite.

Didn’t Maitan look like a stud then he showed up to spring training fat.? We got baited and switched

Never can tell but Maitan bought into the hype before he ever set foot stateside. He ate Gilbert Grape as soon as the ink dried....

This kid looks every bit of 6'2/3...if he not 230, he's over 200 somewhere. I like the Seger comparison.

He’s built like Kevin Durant.

 

[Enscheff]

He’s built like Kevin Durant.

I’m thinking more like David Robinson, maybe Dwight Howard. A little taller than those guys though.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Jesus guys.






No that is who he reminds me of.

 

[Hulavol]

Honestly.... he looks like a hybrid version of Piujols and a darker Trout.....

And eerily similar to Willie Mays

 

[Carp]

More similar to Alejandro Pena. Shades of Rick Camp, even. Or may be I'm thinking of Jung Bong?

 

[Hulavol]

The difference is Jung Bong never hit a walk off dinger at 3 am....

 

[Sheffield10]

He is almost good as Kelly Johnson (aka Utley-lite)

 

[Russ2dollas]

So the new plan is to get insurance to pay for ender?

deGrom has to be juicing, right? How do you add velocity with age?

 

[bravesfanforlife88]

Braves say that neck has decided to hang em up

 

[Carp]

Wouldn't surprise me if he's our first call should we have a significant injury in the OF.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Per Heyman, the Braves are in the mix for Maikel Franco.

 

[Carp]

Franco would make this bench quite a bit more potent.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Franco seems like an older Riley. Do we need another RHH 3rd baseman.

Is this a move to play Riley in the outfield more.

 

[Carp]

I'm interested to see what the Pirates do with Erik Gonzalezz. He's out of options and the Pirates have a log jam at SS currenty. He would be a fantastic back-up SS for us, imo.

Maybe to start the year
