I think you're right and wrong at the same time. I think Arcia and Grissom are the SSs, but Grissom will start

I think they need to sign Elvis Andrus or someone and Grissom start at AAA for a few months.

Last year Brandon Drury contract:1 yr(s) / $900,000
He play a few positions and I believe he used to play shortstop.

Drury has played in 645 big league games, with 11 appearances at shortstop. I don't think he is the answer- particularly if our concern is Grissom's glove.

Yeah I get that but I’d rather take that gamble then to give Swanson $200 million coming off a career yr
I'm all for giving Elvis a one year deal.
Maybe playing with another Curaçao kid to his left might give him an extra boost.

Haven't heard many rumors about him, which makes me wonder what his market is. Up-and-down career, but he was pretty much golden in 2022. Complementary piece on a good team or starter on a middling-to-poor team is probably his role. If he's available in a couple of months, he may be a fit for us. Wil Myers could be a late fit as well, but he's pretty much a cOF/1B platoon guy at this point that's probably redundant. Ozuna's presence really complicates things.
Just thinking, anyone seen clvclv recently? I know he said something about health issues in one of the last posts of his I read, but I haven't seen him in quite a bit.

I haven’t seen him either now that you say something. Hopefully nothing is bad wrong with him. I know we get on each others nerves around here but we’re still a Braves family and have been for a long time most of us.

I wondered about him about 2 weeks ago. He has been gone for a few months I think. Hoping all is well.

I'd check in on Brandon Crawford. With the Giants getting Correa, would they shop Crawford? His hitting took a step back last year but he's still a tremendous defensive SS and he's only a year removed from a 6 win season. Current projections put him as a 2.0-2.5 WAR player next year. If he bounces back even a little he could be over 3 wins. Pretty sure he could veto any trade though.

The Giants are gonna move Crawford to 2b or 3b per reports

$16 MM but contract only runs through 2023. I imagine the Giants would be happy to unload some of that financial commitment.

This seems dumb. Crawford is better defensively, and his bat doesn't play at 2b and 3b

Work out an ozuna-Crawford deal?

Braves signed Joe Hudson. Minor league catcher with 18 games played at MLB
Obviously organizational depth. If he sees a day on the MLB roster, we are seriously in the hurt locker. Don't believe he is on the 40 man roster

We currently don't have what I would call a legitimate C prospect at AA or above, so my guess is we'll see a parade of guys like Hudson at both AA and AAA next year.
Tromp likely is on the bus line between Gwinnett and Atlanta at several junctures. Tyler Tolve showed some promise at Rome last year. Javier Valdes made it to AA for the last month or so and hit well in Rome and did alright in Mississippi. Neither Tolve nor Valdez have much luck throwing out prospective base-stealers.
Braves drafted Drake Baldwin last year in the 3rd round and he projects as a good bat (at least at this point), but he probably starts in Rome or Augusta. One of the downsides of moving the draft to the All-Star break is that the draftees from that year don't get much of a taste of pro ball out of the gate.
because he’s available and is for WC? you’ve clearly explored it, guess AA missed it.
