Braves are dead. Freddi and management has run them to the ground. Why the hell Freddi is even still employed is beyond me. Hope they feel like asses seeing Maddon at the Cubs and Mattingly at the motherfricking Marlins

Haha dumbass. Why do you think the Cubs, Mets, and Royals are successful now. They built up their farm systems, stock piled pitching prospects for their own good or as trade assets for the future. Simmons was a 250 career hitter, never hit more than 7 bombs in a year. His trade value is at its highest right now. The Braves have a couple of SS prospects in the farm. So, all the Braves fans that say the Braves are dead to me or frick the Braves are idiots. You are the reason why the fan base gets ridiculed constantly. It's a great trade if you don't like it GFY and be a Nats fan.

Freddi is simply there to ride out the final season(s) of Turner Field. Once this season is over, the Braves will release Fredi and we will bring in a new manager and most likely some new coaches as well. There will be an entirely new organization that steps on to the field at SunTrust Park. I am somber on the upcoming '16 season, but excited for the future beyond. Simmons was a guy that could never find a spot in the lineup because he was so inconsistent with his bat. If you look at his approach at the plate, he drops to his knee 2-5 swings because he thinks he has HR power. We honestly made out like bandits in this deal, and anyone who can't see that just doesn't understand that you need to be a fan but understand this is a business.
