Wieters adds no value to us I the short term because we're not there yet as a team and by the time we get there he will be old and pretty far down the slippery slope we already see him on.

That would be a waste of money no matter the price. Keep that Georgia boy out of Georgia

I think Wieters has a little more tread left on the tires than folks think, and he will be fully healthy two years removed.

But I stand by the caveat it has to be the right cost....maybe a 1 year "prove it" deal or something short with and option/buyout.

I'm not crazy enough to believe the Braves will compete for the division this year....but I think they're at the point where developing a winning culture is important.

Just my .02. You make some valid points too.
