The Atlanta Braves - Hello darkness my old friend

[AV_12]

I’m adverse to trading position players who put up a .400 OBP in their age 22 season across three levels, especially for a dime a dozen reliever like Jimenez

23, didn’t slug at the upper levels, no speed or versatility. I’m good on that. Jiménez was elite last year, so I’ll take my chances of that continuing vs a meh prospect

Jimenez was excellent last year. I undersold him a little even if he’s been inconsistent in his career. But I think JHM is a dude. Just wish that was a different prospect.

We shall see how it plays out, but I think we will be fine. We need to address SS asap, and get something done

 

[LotteryPick]

Well we have no position prospects left hahah.

crazy thing is that the only positions not blocked by long deals at the MLB level are LF and SS.

Get Reynolds and re sign Dansby and they're all blocked.

Good Lord, San Diego.

 

[AV_12]

Sheesh. That lineup

 

[Volfan1000]

Horrible trade by AA

If this guy pitches well in 2023, I would think that AA brings him back in 2024 on a short term deal.

AA did not give up a whole lot for Jimines.

 

[Volfan1000]

Sheesh. That lineup

Soto and Tatis and Bogearts will rake.

Machado too

He is Kelly Johnson. You don’t give up a rookie Kelly Johnson for one year of a guy who was a below average relief pitcher going into last season

 

[zjcvols]

$280M for Bogaerts man these contracts have gone insane

 

[zjcvols]

Two things:

1) Still need another power lefty. Can’t handle more Dylan Lee 7th-8th inning appearances

2) I think Ian is on the market to try and grab a SS.

Agreed we need a better second lefty than Lee.

No he is not. At all.

Relievers are random and year to year. Let’s just hope he figured something out and we get that version of him.

Where is San Diego getting all their money? Over the next 10 or so years, they are paying almost $1B to Machado, Tatis, and now Bogaerts.

Desperation. It's gonna be funny when they crash and burn the next few years. Then the back end of some of these deals are gonna be ugly

 

[Buzzbait]

Hmmmmm. I didn't know we were in this spot already.

I thought Padres And Dodgers would have been higher $.

 

[AV_12]

Dodgers almost have to sign Dansby right? Surely they don’t view Lux as the everyday SS?

 

[AV_12]

Dansby getting $200 million gonna be wild

 

[underscore]

Imagine all the crying that first visit to atl

I’m sure they’re saying the same about Vaughn
