THis dude will be like the next Josh Hamilton.

The braves should ink mccann long term and deal bethancourt/one arm for a solid hitter who can help the lineup immediately.

Gattis will probably make it to the bigs sometime in 2013 adn be a regular in 2014. Dude will hit a lot of HRS. Braves can either move him to OF or keep him at C if Mccann doesn't work out.

ETA: This is assuming the Braves get their shite together and move him to the OF and he does well against AA/AAA pitching.


A lot to ask for from a 25 year old playing who hasn't made it past A ball.

He's hit at every level, at least.

I bet the Braves could package Bourn/Bethancourt/Navery Moore or Carlos Perez to the Pirates for Mccutchen. CF problem solved. Ink Mccann down for a good contract though.


Doubt the Pirates would part with their Franchise player for that...

He will rake. I'd bet the braves can count on him being at least as good offensively as Ryan Klesko.

I think Bethancourt is not that great a hitter, and letting go of McCann is a mistake. Trade him while he has perceived value.

The pirates may not let go of mccutchen, but they are the fricking pirates. You never know.

Yeah no chance of that happening.

The Pirates aren't contending this year so Bourn is pretty much a non factor for them.

It then turns into a Bethancourt and one of those pitchers for McCutchen. No shot.

The Pirates do have Starling Marte who is a stud defensively at CF down in AAA. .817 career OPS in the minors with speed to burn.
