For the simple reason that half these guys were already injured when traded for so that leaves a question mark and the other half have no or little experience at the top level so who knows how they will turn out. If the Braves front office were so sure if their own scouting, why are they currently filling an entire roster with possible arms? They can't be all that confident in most of these arms if they keep collecting. Having back up plan is one thing. This is a fetish

Imagine one or both of Bourn and Swisher will be traded. If that happens. That leaves Olivera, Mallex, and Marky Mark as our starting OF's


I see Markakis being traded before Swish/Bourn. Neither of them have much value right now. If one of those two is traded, I imagine we'll be eating about $10 million of their contracts.

No idea how valid it is, but:

Could Braves be being close to being sold?

There is a new guy doing these since Kiley is working for the Braves now.

Apparently, the new guy is a retard because that list is fricking terrible.

We should be so lucky. New owner could still frick things up though.

Mark Cuban for owner haha.

Edit: I don't think he has ties to Cobb county though.

Fangraphs has revised the list. They look so bad.

Edit: Inserted Kolby Allard at 4 and Austin Riley at 6.

I'm still laughing at the projection of Newcombe to be a 3/4 starter.

Still not sure why we wouldn't want to get in on the Ozuna action. We could get him on the cheap. He's young and cheap. Upside is there.

Every team should be in on Ozuna

This championship season is really coming together with the addition of Bud Norris.

Middle of rotation guy, innings eater. If he has a strong first half maybe spin him onto another team.

Yeah, I mean, that is best case that he pulls a good first half out of his arse and we can flip him for anything.

He may... he has decent stuff still, not a frontline guy but could help a playoff team by providing innings.
