Come on man. Do you have to be so adversarial on all my posts? That's obvious one needs to hit.
Only way for them to hit is to have them in the first place.

Just saying nobody's really stepped forward and asserted themselves yet. Really need a few of them to

how valuable can a DH ever really be? he'd better be the best hitter in the system if they're going to really get great value.
buying jackson is like buying a house just on the next block beyond the big city border into the value capped suburb next door. the guy might really hit, but he's not really the high ceiling guy being mentioned here. this is exactly why this is exactly the kind of trade the braves should not be ever making. they may as well trade for a quarterback or a point guard next. they'd have just as much of a chance of ever playing in the national league.
all that changes if there's some rule change regarding the dh i don't know about.
it's still a f'ing horrible trade. anybody look up povse's numbers lately? that's in AA. a position that the braves could actually use on the field, btw.

He isn't high ceiling? Guy was talked about as the best high school player in his draft class. Thats not really fair.

It's been a great 3 games for Povse, but if you don't think the Braves swung at a chance for an impact bat, you'd be wrong. No one on this board that I've read said it is the greatest trade ever, but I'd rather err on what we've done to try to get talent. Or perhaps you've grown accustomed to the crappy safe route we always take. Povse will be good I think. But I still say it should play out. I disagree that it's a horrible trade.
Backup catcher/first base and potentially a starting LF.

This is a stupid post. Povse wouldn't even start for out aa team.
I think we gave a solid 5th starter maybe a 4. I think that is fine bc the braves seem to be able to create back end starters with ease
We have few impact bats
Yes it's unlikely Jackson plays in MLB. Law and Bp were not kind in scouting. But this guy was an elite hs player. He's mashing now and he's not that old for the level. I don't know if he'll catch but we've had gattis AJ and flowers catching so the bar is low
If he mashed he can play lf.
First base will always be Freddie
