The Atlanta Braves

Fwiw Duvall does bolster the pitching..

Sure he’s a very good LF but he doesn’t make Colin McHugh or Michael Tonkin start throwing 97 lol

 

[zjcvols]

Eddie also hasn’t been a disaster in LF this year weirdly enough.

Heyward hit a HR for LA just now. Saw his numbers. 114 wRC+. Glad he’s having a good season.

eddie isn’t the only corner that’s less than stellar..

 

[AV_12]

Good news.. could definitely get kike
Bad news.. he stinks

Nightmare scenario of Vaughn at short in a playoff game haunts me. Need a better option than culberson behind Arcia imo

So you've seen Olson play defense too.

Id imagine if Arcia can’t go in October they’d bring up Shewmake and just bat him 9th

I looked at the Rockies 2023 baseball reference page and immediately got depressed

Who absolutely sucks too

 

[zjcvols]

Also never forget when Scott wanted to trade Riley for two months of Kris Bryant

 

[zjcvols]

Who absolutely sucks too

If Arcia goes down in October it’s gonna suck either way. I’m not sure there’s a decent option out there for a backup SS

Well you’re not getting him for nothing for no reason. There are way worse bench options

Kike is more proven to be viable than any option we have

he can’t play dead at short

Easily this

 

[zjcvols]

Nicky Lopez? IFK? Paul DeJong or Tommy Edman? Pickings are slim

 

[zjcvols]

I do agree a halfway decent IF would be nice but just not sure how many available that can play SS

 

[AV_12]

he can’t play dead at short

And Charlie culberson can?

 

[zjcvols]

And Charlie culberson can?

He’s a minus -16 OAA at SS for his career and a -13 this season in his first time full time action at SS. Id rather have Shewmake if Arcia got hurt.

 

[TBrown]

And Charlie culberson can?

culberson hasn’t played one second? What are you talking about

 

[TBrown]

Nicky Lopez? IFK? Paul DeJong or Tommy Edman? Pickings are slim

Would love Edman

 

[AV_12]

culberson hasn’t played one second? What are you talking about

He’s our current backup. I just want a better option than him or anyone in AAA. At least kike could run into one every now and then. Doesn’t have to be him but we need to explore the options

My official Ohtani trade:

Angels: Ozzie Albies, Kyle Wright, Ian Anderson, AJSS, Marcell Ozuna

Braves: Shohei Ohtani, Anthony Rendon

They wouldn’t do that but yes, let us.
