We have two of the top ten lefty prospects in the game, Sean Newcombe and Koby Allard.


Don't expect anyone other than Riley, Swansby, and or Ozzie to appear on the remaining lists.


ETA: When does the Swamp 100 come out?

Braves offered a 6 year deal according to Rosenthal. Significantly lower AAV than what he got though.

Wonder if the D'backs would take Swisher or Bourn in a deal for Hill?

Wouldn't offer any monetary savings, but would be a better roster fit and maybe easier to flip
At the deadline.

I believe swisher is an expiring,shouldn't be to hard to flip him honestly at the deadline

Just not sure that it makes sense to carry both Swisher and Bourn out of spring training.

If it weren't for their contracts, neither would be on the roster.

On the subject of Spring Training, anybody else going down there for a week? We just booked 3 nights in Orlando and 3 nights in Tampa. Got 4 or 5 games lined up along with 1 free day in Tampa to go fishing or whatever we'd like.

Never been before so I'm pretty excited

Used to go almost every year. The last year I went was when Heyward and Freeman were still still in the minors and our top free agents were Derek Lowe and Kenshin Kawakami. I guess that was 09.

Doubtful Ill be able to make it this year since the gf is making me save money for a house, but I have free hotel rooms that I have to use or lose, so I might try and do a quick weekend. One day with the Braves, and another with a Tampa area team. Never done the Blue Jays, so that would be my favorite option.

At the time I was on the fence on what they should do with KK. I didn't want them to ruin any Japanese ties they may have by sending him down but good grief he was terrible.
