I'm not saying that.
We just won't have enough money to sign a SP, LF, and CF. We'll have enough money for two of those.
Just not sure which two the Braves will go after. Right now, I think Bourn is gone, but it all depends on what other moves we make.

Would really like to see Bourn back. I believe I remember seeing Wren say Bourn likes playing in ATL and the FO wants to resign him.
Maybe it will work out. He is definitely the catalyst
As for Mac, no way they don't pick up his option

We'll definitely pick up Mac's option for next year. It's going to be tough competing against some big spending AL teams for him in free agency though. Not even sure it'd be in our best interest to resign him to a massive deal, which is likely what it'd take.

Everyone is complaining about this Dempster trade and what we are giving up, I hope these same people realize how much we are putting into an aging McCann when the time comes.

Yeah, it would be shocking.
It's gonna be a waste of 12 million.
But our front office is paying Uggla 14 mil, so shouldn't be shocking to me they'd waste some more on a player in decline.

I will be highly surprised if Bourn commands as much money as people think he will.
It would be, simply put, unprecedented.

Watch out, you'll get crucified on here if you say that Uggla is not performing.

It's hard to envision Mac in another uniform. I could see us in a Joe Mauer type of situation. He's far from the best, but he's better than any other option out there. Couple that with the push that the Braves have been giving Mac to be the "new face of the franchise" when chipper leaves (I think Chipper even said that in an interview at some point this season). It would be hard to see Big Mac somewhere else. Is Bet ready for the majors?

I don't know if you really are retarded or you just like portraying that image.
Can you link just one post by anyone that says Uggla is performing right now?

Not this year, and not next year. But he should be for 2014. Maybe 2015.
Hard for me to see Mac getting inked to a long term deal right now.

Uggla just kinda is what he is.
When he's hot you love him. When he's not, he's an auto-out.
The price we paid to get him trade-wise made sense. The extension we gave him did not.

While I would never directly root for mccann to struggle, him struggling this season is probably best for the Braves long term. I really dont like the idea of shelling 16mill or whatever a season towards an aging catcher.
I'm sure we will cover next year and he will hit lights out and then demand 18mill/season.

Since we are on the topic of Uggla's struggles:
Uggla's Tale of Two Halves
Uggla's Tale of Two Halves

Uggla needs to return to a swing that utilizes his lower half more, and in the process, syncs with his arms and hands to square the ball and drive it.

That would be awesome. Next year needs to be our big run at a WS, with our young guys just getting more and more expensive. I hope he puts up some huge numbers, and then gets whatever money he can get. Just not from us.

Chipper Jones now has an authentic Twitter page RealCJ10. This will protect against the "fake" nonsense we've recently seen.
