Wonder if at some point Money Mike gets moved up to 2 or 3 and Riley slides down to 4 or 5... maybe flip with Olsen depending on LHP/RHP.

I've been playing The Show too much.

They're not going to move Harris up to 3 and have him and Olson hitting back to back.

Too easy to bring in a lefty out of the pen and nullify the heart of our order.

Good, we really needed to get those bad contracts off the books.

Riley


The only thing that could suck about locking our guys down so young is that occasionally you get a JHey who peaks early. His two best offensive season by Fangraphs were years 1 and 3

That was a very expensive half time speech for the Cubs

Gotta imagine they don't care considering what happened in his first season there.

It was always unrealistic to expect AA to bat 1.000 on these extensions, IMO. If this version of Riley is his worst miss, then he did well. We obviously want Riley to be better, but it's not like he's Chris Davis out there.

Maybe, maybe not….however it was decisions like that which likely played a part in their rebuilt core flaming out so quickly.

On the flip side AA took those initial rebuild pieces acquired by Coppy (and the international products brought in during Wren’s time) and has built what appears to be a sustainable juggernaut. Both teams got their championship but the Braves and Astros have done it right and kept it going.

Harris will be the 2 hitter eventually, but not this year.

Can’t wait to watch Harris have a full, healthy season.

Tough schedule coming up. Braves need to take care of business against a scuffling Dbacks team.
