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

Wieters will be 31 next May. He just did a one year prove it deal with Baltimore. He is looking for his last big payday since he is a catcher.

he already has 7000 innings on his body as a catcher. Its likely that he will never be fully healthy again, and give you 140 games behind the plate like he did up until 2014.

He's nothing special at the plate, wont be worth his contract, and is right handed, and we already have Flowers signed through this year, who can give the same production at a fraction of the cost.
