Me from the ATL Offseason Thread:

This was a very good offer. We got good value. Miller had a great second half. Jenkins is a great prospect who had an amazing AFL. Hopefully it is a sign of things to come. I am extremely comfortable with this deal.

I said some very, very dumb shite in that thread as well.

Their explanation of making the trade to improve in 2015 and subquent signing of Markakis added fuel to my fire.

Once it became clear that they were actually rebuilding and not 'retooling' I was much more on board with things.

The Markakis signing and Olivera trade do look bad though.

Braves looking to trade out of pick 3 in the Rule 5. Wanted Goeddel and he is almost assuredly gone to Phillies at 1.

I have a signed Otis Nixon rookie cards and a signed Otis Nixon "6 stolen bases in a game" card.

(Oh, I also have a Chipper Jones signed rookie card, Phil Niekro rookie card, Phil Niekro signed card, Dale Murphy rookie card, but the Otix Nixon's are my pride and joys cuz they make me laugh. )

Not much other than a possible lotto ticket.
Jake Cave going second

From DOB
I'm told #Braves are likely to take a relief pitcher with 3rd pick in Rule 5 draft

We are apparently also interested in Bartolo Colon.

Yea, would not hate that. They are signing low cost vets who could have trade value in July.

on top of that Colon is an innings eater. I hate looking at our roster because the more I look at it, the more I think "man we could win 85-90 games" if everything pans out like it's supposed to. We have a decent bullpen once Grilli and baby Kimbrel come back. Vizciano, Simmons, Grilli, Johnson.. That's innings 6-9 there. Then you have Paco, and the rest of the gang. The most worrisome part of our team is our starting rotation. Some uncertainty there. I think we could surprise some people this year.

More about Braves LHP pick Evan Rutckyj: plus FB, fringe-average SL. Command is an issue.

Atlanta takes RHP Enderson Franco (Marlins). Throws hard was in LoA Greensboro last year. Lacks feel (yet).

This is the minor league phase of the Rule V.

I've been following Rutckyj since his prep days in Canada. The Braves just got a damn steal.
