He's pitched his last game as a Brave.

If we don't make a move, Medlen will probably join the rotation.

Deer sweet baby jeebus, please let this be so.

Instead of trading away what little talent we have in the system for a two month rental, I'd prefer this.

I have no problem with trading away said talent if we can get a guy like Shields who's tied down for a couple of more years.

Don't count on Shields getting traded. @JonHeymanCBS says Rays are asking for more than Brewers got for Greinke.

Shields is more valuable long term than Greinke in a trade.

I think the Braves might have the best chance of getting him of they are willing to part with Bethancourt.

Ultimately I think the Rays trade Wade Davis instead of Shields.

I'm not saying he isn't worth it. I'm saying ATL isn't going to throw out more than they would've thrown out for Greinke to get Shields.

Would you guys want Joe Saunders from Arizona? I read we were interested and would be a nice lefty to add to the rotation.

There is our final move. Miguel Batista, and now Brian Friday. Add those two, and throw JJ in the bullpen! We might as well let our pitchers throw 5 innings max and let that trio of awesomeness take us to the 9th and then give the ball to Kimbrel.

GAME F'IN OVER!

Will be tough for Friday to get many appearances out of the pen for a couple of reasons.

1. He has been assigned to Gwinnett
2. He is a shortstop
