re: The ATL Thread: Offseason Edition

According to DOB, Braves only have about $10 million left to spend this offseason, not $13-14 as was originally thought. That likely puts them out of the running for any of the remaining free agents out there (Victorino, Pagan, Swisher, Ross), because that $10 million has to be used for LF and a bench bat.
I think a more likely scenario would be a trade for someone like CoCo Crisp, Rajai Davis, or Gerardo Parra, coupled with the signing of Reed Johnson. Also a possibility that hasn't been mentioned is shedding more payroll. With the acquisition of Walden and the emergence of lefty Luis Avilan, I wonder if the Braves will try to unload Eric O'Flaherty, who is set to earn between $3.5 and $4 million next season -- expensive for a set up man. Such a trade would potentially free up the funds to pursue a guy like Victorino, who seems like the best fit among the free agents.

Rumblings about a Braves-Grienke match up. Wren said it's highly unlikely but still have to wonder where the rumors came from.

Bowman says don't expect it to be a FA. If anything happens this early, it's a trade.
One guy I think would be a great fit is Shin Soo Choo.

I wouldn't mind trading for Coco Crisp. Fits the bill financially and leaves us some extra money for a quality bench/platoon guy.
