So You Want An Ace???

I'll take Price, I won't take Scherzer.

I'll take Price with a less than below market extension, otherwise, no.

How about Kimbrel for Scherzer. 3 years of the best closer(although he cant pitch 2 innings) for one of an "ace" pitcher. Not really sold on Scherzer as an ace but some people are. I do have to admit that a rotation of Scherzer/Medlen/Minor/Teheran/any one of Hudson/Wood/Beachy would be a fantastic rotation. Although Scherzer will get far more money than the braves could ever pay him when he does leave we would get another first round pick which means we would have back to back years with two first round picks to restock the farm system.

How about "no".

How about Medlen, Minor, Hudson, Beachy, Teheran and Wood?

Why mess with a great young rotation? Just let them develop. They'll figure it out.

Not everybody can be luckbags like the Cardinals and pull some swingin' dick from AAA to be a playoff ace.

Not for one year of Scherzer, i'd want a longterm piece back if/when we have to trade Kimbrel.
