Glad I didn't buy a B.J. jersey yet

Braves probably would surrender a package of prospects that won't include young shortstop Andrelton Simmons, a player Arizona asked for earlier in this offseason, sources said.


Teheran and Delgado???

Do you think they would take the bait on Salcedo? He is still young but his fielding abilities are still a major issue especially considering the fact we were trying to make a 3B, but he is still a top 10 prospect within the organization

Teheran/Delgado and a few other solid prospects is pretty serious considering they have been trying to move him since last season.

Julio may not end up on any top 100 minor league charts this upcoming season. Braves tweaked his delivery and it resulted in a era twice as high as what set scouts abuzz.

quote:

The Braves tweaked Teheran's delivery, something they also did with Hanson between the 2011 and 2012 seasons. BA says this led to a lot of Teheran's struggles in early 2012, including his home run binge in spring training, and his drop in velocity.



Now they are back to letting him do his own thing, which is violent and could result in an injury but he may put up better numbers as I believe he is lightening up the Dominican league

u serious?

I wouldn't trade Freeman for Upton straight up....this trade is built around prospects, most notably Teheran and Gattis I presume!
