That meme is well on the path to "no matter how many times you see it, it's still funny" territory.

Then Simba knocked back that batting title in A ball and it was all gravy

Troy Glaus debate was another good one.

And the third of the three Latino aces. Not Julio or Vizcaino but the other one who sucked.

Delgado

Lmao I just took a peak at the base ref and he’s on the Long Island Ducks! In 2023! There’s still hope!

Remember Garret Anderson?

Of course. Professional hitter.

And then Brandon Jones was supposed to be the new Garret Anderson.

Him an Maitan were supposed to be dudes lol

Remember trotting out Kotsay and McClouth?

I have never seen a man give less of a **** on defense in baseball than 2009 Garret Anderson

In an extremely SSS, Arcia is graded out as average right now. My eye test says he’s fine. He’s not 2017-2021 Arcia because of the strength gain but if he’s an average overall SS (2.5-3 WAR) then that’s great especially with how cheap he is.

Not worth it

We lost five years of international prospects for Maitan and he never made it past A ball

The Nate McClouth trade was so awesome


And then it wasn’t

Maitan is currently hitting .138 for the Trash Pandas. Oof.

He's a career .237/.297/.343 in 402 minor league games.

 

[AV_12]

wow yeah, close.

Except that vaughn made up a significant part of the equation last year too. You see, that’s how comparisons work. You have to look at what was added and/or subtracted.

How much of it was at short? Where he clearly has no business

What a bum. Took 2 seconds of watching him swing after signing to see he was toast

...yep, and Michael Bourn.

You wouldn’t have SURVIVED the Yunel dialogue in here brother.

This is SMALL potatoes.

I’m convinced most on this thread wouldn’t have survived when the Braves were actually bad.

Almost like camping out on 15 years olds is a bad idea

Some were barely surviving when we were around .500 in August 2021.
