Trades/acquisitions

David Lee says Kalich's stuff is down this year and he's a relief only prospect at high A... he's not gonna be much

Their dart throw is for Devito. I like him..up to 97 or so. Been hurt but overall with the trade many times over.

 

[Enscheff]

Would be happier about these moves if I had any confidence in Snit using them correctly.

My exact thoughts. The first guy to hit a HR will be left in everyday for a month.

 

[Dalyn]

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.

Any chance we included Snit in a late trade?

I say just fake it with Joc and Duvall and remove Heredia all together.

fake it till you make it as division winners

Hopefully AA is gonna coach snit to use smith and Rodriguez according to platoon advantage in 8th and 9th.

Different trade

Rodriguez a steal even if he gets here and sucks.

Not sure what to make of all the outfielders. Does AA think we still have the DH? Are we really thinking about trying Joc in center?

Thought AA was more into analytics than adding three sub .300 OBP guys. Is he going to write the lineups each day for Snit?

 

[Enscheff]

I say just fake it with Joc and Duvall and remove Heredia all together.

In that case, I think Duvall is the best fake CF of the bunch, and Heredia is relegated to pinch running and defensive sub late in the game, pushing Duvall to a corner.

I think it's a given that joc or Duvall are about to man CF

maybe this deadline is the mark of AA taking the reigns a bit more and has nerds in Twits ear more. we can only hope.. This collection is really intriguing. I like some bounce back chances for some of these guys being in a better environment.

Wouldn't that be wonderful?

 

[zbhargrove]

So basically Soler, Rosario, Duvall, Pederson, Rodriguez, and Vogt

 

[rico43]

Anyone want to lay odds on the panda head being in the dugout tonight?

 

[bravesnumberone]

If the goal is (apparently now) home run derby, can Acuna just stand there and hit and not run?

 

[CyYoung31]

Even if none of these deals amount to anything, I think AA might be a pretty good GM after all.

imagine that

now he just needs to announce a team friendly extension for FF

And the start working on Riley’s.

All that whining for weeks, and AA ends up remaking the entire OF and bench, bolsters the C position, and adds an impact BP arm...all for the cost of spare parts and Wilson, who is nothing to cry about losing.

 

[Deester11]

Different trade

lol...yeah.

 

[msstate7]

Soler, I think he could end up being a big time get
