The biggest problem is that they don't understand the Braves roster very well at all.

Not in the slightest bit. That's what most of my arguments have been about.

In related news, Mike Minor is a GOD over there

How would yall feel if we signed Alphonso Soriano for pretty cheap? He would be a solid 4th outfielder to split time with Heyward until he gets things straight.

Yes but I'm sure they would eat half of that to get rid of him. Even if that happens 9M is way too much for a 4th outfielder.

We need a backup 2nd baseman!!


It's actually not that bad of an idea of they paid $15m+ of his contract, he wasn't a completely awful outfielder, and he came to play everyday.

You need to let these tards know that Julio is not going to be traded. They don't seem to understand that Jones alone is not worth Julio.

But instead of reacting to these moves in a knee-jerk fashion, Wren has dealt with the reality of an extremely tight budget and avoided the temptation to significantly upgrade his lineup by trading any of his coveted top four pitching prospects -- Julio Teheran, Randall Delgado, Arodys Vizcaino and Mike Minor.

The Orioles learned that this last month when they inquired about acquiring Jurrjens, Prado and two other "premium guys" in exchange for outfielder Adam Jones.

The Braves obviously declined that offer. But they still have interest in Jones and could continue talking about the outfielder if the Orioles are willing to make a more reasonable offer that would likely be void of pitching prospects and not include both Prado and Jurrjens.

While the Braves have shown a willingness to talk about Prado and Jurrjens, they understand that both players could still provide significant value to this year's team.

Well you now have both Ken Rosenthal and Bowman pretty much saying the 4 pitchers won't be included.

I think we're probably offering something along the lines of Jurrjens, Medlen, Salcedo

Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't Freeman play LF in some sort of capacity (HS, Winter ball) or anything like that?

If so, hear me out lol...we trade Prado and JJ for whatever we need, and then we pursue Prince Fielder for first base. We would have LF power, and 1st base power, as well as getting a decent return for JJ and Prado.

I've never heard of that, but even if your thought is outrageous, it sure is nice thinking about

We also have hardly any extra money to spend this year. Next year will be the year we have a little money to spend.
