Utility type players are always solid for depth.

Small stuff so far. I'm waiting on the bombs to drop.

Yeah, that's the one that worries me too.

Really hope we can strike a deal to keep him in ATL.

Looks like the new stadium's parking situation is gonna be a shitshow

quote:

The only event held so far at the Braves ballpark site happened in September, when several hundred people were invited to the stadium groundbreaking.

The Braves arranged for parking at nearby lots and shuttled guests to the site. But even that small event brought out signs and office building attendants to warn off people looking to park in private lots.

“Building Tenant and Building Visitor Parking Only,” a handful of signs read.

The Galleria Office Park, with its 5,500 parking spaces on the far side of the pedestrian bridge, also do not want Braves fans parking there. Connie Engel, a partner with Childress Klein Atlanta, said that while her company supports the Braves move, it has declined the Braves offer to lease parking spaces because “the needs of our office tenants come first.”

Tad Leithead, chairman of the Cumberland Community Improvement District, which is providing $10 million for infrastructure improvements around the Braves site, called solving the parking issue “complicated.”

“The property owners in the vicinity of the Braves stadium are excited about the Braves being there, but at the same time they want to have parking for their tenants,” Leithead said. “They don’t want their tenants or shoppers at the mall to not have enough parking because of a Braves game.

Owner of MLB Trade Rumors speculates if J. Upton is traded he would fetch a Taijuan Walker or D.J. Peterson type prospect in return.

I hope they trade the Uptons.

The experiment hasn't worked.

Braves could go rebuild mode, aim toward 2017

quote:

PHOENIX – It sounds more and more like the Braves will make moves aimed toward competing for titles in 2017 and beyond rather than the next two seasons, although president of baseball operations John Hart said the decision hasn’t been made yet.

“We obviously have all options open, and I think a lot of it’s going to be dictated by what we’re able to do in the starting-pitching market,” Hart said Wednesday on the third day of baseball’s general managers meetings that end Thursday.

The Braves’ offseason priority is to acquire a couple of pitchers who could step into their rotation, and they’re positioned better to do that via trades than free agency. Especially since they don’t have enough room in their payroll to spend lavishly, and Hart has made it clear they won’t consider top-tier free agent pitchers.

Good I hope so. Cause no matter what moves we make next year it's not going to make much a difference for 2015. Nothing can change the fact our offense is going to be shitastic.

Focus the next couple years on improving the farm and let's try again for 2017.
