Trades/acquisitions

If it's really Bryse Wilson and Ricky Devito then that's a steal considering some of the deals that have happened today.
 
Bryant gets bonus points for position flexibility, but when comparing offensive value and park factors, Freddie has been a good bit better. And ultimately teams are paying for offense.

Freeman has a 138 WRC+ and Bryant at 132. Like I said, they are comparable. I would expect Freeman to get a little bit more of a return. But I doubt it could have touched Rizzo without the Braves eating cash.
 
DeVito 0-3 in 5 starts for Rome. OK ERA though. Kalich 0-2 for Rome, five saves, 3 something ERA.

Kalich is a relief only prospect and David Lee has seen him a lot this year and says his stuff is down and it wasn't that good in the first place
 
ok.. this deadline turned on a dime.. The RichRod is a freaking slam dunk win for the Braves. I really like the collection of cast off out fielders we got too.. just seems like we can run different lineups out there all the time and still have a good collection of bench pieces to boot. Now will Twit be able to handle this..
 
The Braves OF situation is currently:

Joc LHH
Heredia RHH
Almonte SH
Duvall RHH
Soler RHH
Rosario LHH

I suppose Joc and Duvall can fake it in CF, but I have to imagine Heredia will be the everyday guy there? Flanked by Joc and Soler? With Duvall, Almonte and Rosario coming off the bench? Maybe Duvall in there for Joc once in a while?

I think they will try Joc and/or Duvall in CF.

I say just fake it with Joc and Duvall and remove Heredia all together.
 
Rodriguez might be a set up man really, but that's a good controllable asset for nothing much.

I think the outfield is dramatically better than it was, which is maybe still not great.

No, he has proven he won't. The first guy to have a multi-hit game with a HR will be the everyday guy for the rest of August. Meanwhile, the other OFers will rot on the bench watching Smyly bat in the 6th inning of every close game so he can face 2 more batters the next inning.

A competent manager could turn these pieces into something. Unfortunately, Snit is not that guy.

I think set up with the occasional close when the 9th is loaded with righties.
