The Atlanta Braves Thread

You know what help reduce the tax on the BP?

Moving Holmes to the BP where he belongs since he can't go more than twice through the order. He's averaging under 5 innings per start and you're just now concerned about BP workload?

This Mark Walter situation got me looking into some numbers with the Dodgers:

The current ownership group bought the Dodgers on 3/27/12 for $2.15B. The team is worth today an estimated $8B, so they've 3.72x their investment on paper.

The S&P 500 on 3/27/12 closed at 1412. It closed today at 7745, or 5.5x. That's the price only return (not including dividends and re-investing those dividends).

You're telling me that the ownership/operation of the Dodgers has significantly underperformed a buy and hold strategy (that can be implemented essentially for free) of the world's largest and most popular public stock index? The Dodgers would need to be worth almost $12B today to have performed in line with the S&P.

I’m guessing they also make a profit on a year to year basis. It’s not just what they sell at.

Matt Olson is about to join Hank Aaron as the only Braves with multiple 80+ XBH hit seasons.

Last year they made about $20m. It ain’t much.
