re: The ATL Thread Offseason Edition: Braves acquire Brandon Phillips

I think Albies' next 6 years will be>Archer's next 5.

Archer is very good and obviously controllable but I think the Braves will be fine from the pitching side. They have very little young position talent and this is not the way to spend arguably your best minor league piece imo.

You trade Albies and you are looking at 2nd division type starters at 2nd, 3rd, RF, C and possibly LF depending on your views on Kemp. Not much in the pipeline at any of those positions either as your only impact position prospects would be 18 year old Acuna and 16 year old Maitan.

Not worth it imo.
