Re: 2014 Atlanta Braves

Interesting move to trade Hale. I thought he would continue to serve that Kris Medlen role.

Re: 2014 Atlanta Braves

It's more like Dan Uggla money for a guy who is already on the wrong side of 30 and has trended down since his injury a couple years ago. I like Markakis for a 2-3 years stop gap, but that 4th year...

Re: 2014 Atlanta Braves

I don't see how markakis helps this team sell tickets in 2017. As far as position players go Freddie Freeman is the face of this franchise, and Simmons is right behind him. Markakis does not have the...

Re: 2014 Atlanta Braves

Sad to see Gattis go from the perspective of him just being fun to watch and the story of it all.

From a baseball standpoint this makes every bit of sense in the world though. The Braves were not...

Re: 2014 Atlanta Braves

I think Banuleos was the Yankees top pitching prospect at one point, but injuries have slowed his development. Not sure if it will pan out, but I like the trade.

Re: 2014 Atlanta Braves

In general I agree, make it to the playoffs and you have a chance. The question though is how realistic is that chance? Even the teams that won the world series in recent years by just kind of...

Re: 2014 Atlanta Braves

I understand the argument for Kimbrel, but why wouldn't we Freeman, Simmons, Tehran, or Minor if this was a rebuild? Only 1 of those guys is over the age of 25, and and he's only 27. If we view it in...

Re: 2014 Atlanta Braves

I think the right move is to trade Gattis. His bat should be valuable to a lot of teams, and he is under control for what another 4 years? Both would be reasons for the Braves to keep him except that...

Re: 2014 Atlanta Braves

Justin isn't the kind of guy you can build a lineup around due to the lack of consistency, and I'm sure the Braves took the best offer they had come their way at this point. It seems like they could...

Re: 2014 Atlanta Braves

I'm ok getting prospects in return for J Upton because this team needed them, and they had no flexibility to obtain better talent for the short term. I'm not ok with not pulling in an organizations...

Re: 2014 Atlanta Braves

I'm ok with Johnson at 3B. He is reasonably priced and even what was a down year for him he was one of the more consistent hitters on this team (admittedly that isn't saying much).

Lots of rumors...

Re: 2014 Atlanta Braves

I disagree that it was an overraction. This team was not built to win in 2015 even before the trade of Heyward, and I think that using 2013 as a basis for your argument can be very misleading.
The...

Re: 2014 Atlanta Braves

WAR is not the end all be all stat people try to make it out to be. According to this holy grail of stats that so many people view it as, Andrelton Simmons should have finished 3rd in the NL MVP...

Re: 2014 Atlanta Braves

I don't buy the fangraphs article even remotely. I love stats, but I think in baseball we sometimes try too hard to quantify things. According to Fangraphs Heyward was worth $28 million in 2014. Ok...

Re: 2014 Atlanta Braves

I really don't have a problem with the Heyward trade. I thought it would have happened closer to the trade deadline, but what is there not to like? We get a good young pitcher with a lot of upside...

Re: 2014 Atlanta Braves

Heyward is a fine player to have, and I don't see any reason to get rid of him unless it becomes cost prohibitive. He's a piece though not a cornerstone. It's not like he blew up his stat line this...

Re: 2014 Atlanta Braves

I thought about mentioning the Justin trade for fairness, but it would have made the post longer than I wanted it to be. Is it a bit of cherry picking? Yes. Would it have derailed anything I said?...

Re: 2014 Atlanta Braves

What an abysmal season. Wren had to go. He made a number of nice bargain moves like Ben Sheets and Harrang during his tenure, but his 4 biggest free agent signings/trades were Derek Lowe, Kenshin...

Re: 2014 Atlanta Braves

Nice to see BJ benched tonight. He just is not a major league hitter right now though it may have had something to do with dogging it on a fly ball last night.

Also a great night by Santanna.

Re: 2014 Atlanta Braves

I can't say anything bad about locking the best closer in the game up for the next few years, but I am concerned any time 10% of the team's annual payroll (actual percentages varying based on it...
