| If the Phillies decide to let Werth walk, which I think they will because of Dominic Brown, it would not surprise me to see him as a Brave next year. They need a powerful righty in the middle of that lineup with Heyward, McCann, and Freeman all being lefties. He won't be cheap, but he'll definitely be cheaper than Crawford. | |

| Werth is a Scott Boras client. Not a positive sign for him being a Brave. | |

| Why the hell would you punt Hubbard to keep a failure like Pendleton in a sinecure? I see no reason to bend over backwards to keep him in the organization. | |

GAvol, no need in responding to your cherry-picking efforts. Also, I'm glad you downgraded that astonishing glove to decent.
Pendleton being retained is a joke. Our new bench coach interviewed for the Pirates job today I believe. Not a good start.
I would be surprised if we signed Werth. He will be way too expensive compared to what he's worth, no pun intended, even if he is a perfect fit.
Chipper and his $15 mil will be back. Kawakami will not, but we'll still have to pay at least part of his salary. | |

The guy is a very good manager. Posted via VolNation Mobile | |

Posted via VolNation Mobile | How come he never does more with less, then? The Mets were a crappy organization when Torre managed them; he had a crappy tenure. The Braves got worse over time under Torre, not better, and by the time he left they were the worst team in the majors. The Cardinals were mediocre before Torre got there, mediocre while he was there, and mediocre after he left. He won in New York, where he was given a team with infinite resources. He won at first in LA, where he had one of the highest payrolls in the NL, but as soon as the Dodgers cut back, the team went in the tank. You could pull a random fan out of the stands who could manage as well as Joe Torre. His enormous salary is the biggest waste of money in sports. | |
