The Atlanta Braves Thread

If he’s LH PH and 4th OF that’s a grand slam signing. If he’s starting 140 games in RF, no thanks.

Camargo-Markakis-Culberson-Catcher is a bench that gets the juices flowing. No one is disputing that. The issue is the money to spend, the promise to spend, and the reality of this dude being the every day RF staring us in the face.

They've definitely done a bad job of managing fan expectations. If they're not going to spend, somebody needs to be out front explaining why deals didn't happen. I think they've tried doing it through Bowman but it looks lame coming from media.

I’m fine with them not spending. We are all use to it. But don’t point to this offseason for a half decade and then do jack **** when it arrives.

Looking at dudgers depth chart..I wonder if they’d deem Kike Hernandez expendable..

 

[Kingston Vol]

The probability he puts up an average season is incredibly low. He had an awesome two months and was below average the rest of the way.

If we were cash strapped and had other commitments or made a monster trade (like let’s say we signed Donaldson and traded for Haniger and JTR and Ender was involved in one of those) then I’d have little problem. But the fact we brought back a 35 year old singles hitter to play everyday after coming off a division title and making one move is a joke

I think AA is betting on Duvall bouncing back. Which he should - just following probabilities. But I’ll be damned if I risked my name on Adam Duvall.

Bouncing back to what? A below average hitter?

 

[zjcvols]

Oakland using the #9 pick on a guy who won’t play for you AND you don’t get a pick back.......yikes

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

I ain’t trying to hear a damned thing about Duvall. No sir.

Pretty good splits vs one side though right?

I think they’re outsmarting themselves but just trying to figure it out.

I think liberty media is handcuffing AA and his mouth wrote checks ownership has no intention to cash

Very well could be the case.

Big. Facts.

 

[underscore]

Liberty Media's priority is probably what the new stadium will be named since Suntrust and BB&T are in a prospective merger. Baseball is probably #4.

Has anyone sat in the chophouse seats at sun trust park? Thinking about going the weekend of April 6 vs the marlins.

Absolutely true

Bingo. And this is why the Braves may never sniff another world series in my lifetime

He can’t be a pound under 350 these days right?

Like Jared Lorenzon?

 

[zjcvols]

First thing that comes to mind when I hear JaMarcus Russell is that horrible non review of a clear fumble Tennessee recovered

If I had to guess

There's got to be another move left.
