Waiting for confirmation of James Russell to #Braves deal. He was high on their board, after Miller.

We could've beat Price package. Wow.

 

[UNCBlue012]

So, we probably could of had Price...

Plus Bonifacio.

 

[Hulavol]

Like it ...

 

[Bama9507]

We'll keep Jordan and send Goss down. Just watch.

 

[depley]

great a lefty that cannot get out lefties.. might as well have stuck with Avilan. This guy has a .298 batting average against lh hitters.

 

[zbhargrove]

Ugggg... Hope we didn't give up too much for what is barely an upgrade.

 

[stpeteirish]

Looks like the Yankees basically ate Prado's salary, Peter O'Brien is the prospect.

So the Yankees have now Added Prado, Headley and Drew. Who's playing where?

 

[NYCBrave]

We could've beat Price package. Wow.

We couldn't afford to take on the salary though

THIS YEAR. His career splits tell a different story.

 

[zbhargrove]

And another player who strikes out way too much while walking little. Sorry... Bona is not a good player... Russell is super unexciting.

 

[Bama9507]

Willy Adames to Rays too. Hmm.

 

[Braves1976]

Bonifacio is finally a Brave after years of almost becoming one (we've been noted as close to getting him in the past per MLBTR). Russell is a good add too numbers wise but has reverse splits so not sure he is that lefty we need. So depending on the cost a good move for us.

 

[MadduxFanII]

Seems like a pretty big "meh," though it can rise to an "OK" or fall to an "ugh" depending on price.

I suppose it's reasonable to trust Russell more than Shreve and Bonifacio more than Schafer, so that's fine. It doesn't really push us any closer to anything meaningful, but small improvements matter, I guess.

 

[Hulavol]

We got Bonifacio too.

 

[Millwood1Hitter]

EXACTLY

All these guys are better than SS because they had 2 or more CG's last year.

CGs >

Are you honestly this dense, or are you not even trying?

The argument isn't, and never was, "whoever has the most CGs is the best." Please follow a long: a guy cannot be considered an ace when he has 1 career CG. Never did I say they are the be-all, end-all. I already explained this. Reading should not be hard for an adult.

 

[Dalyn]

Russell is definitely an improvement.

not adding $$. Sucks. So basically signing Ervin Santana cost us the shot at Price.
