RIP

I always like touring Major League parks. Never toured Turner, though.

that would be epic and an incredible lineup that's for sure.

I just hope we go after a legit LF next year. Whether that is a free agent or someone in a trade.

no doubt. Dream scenario is we somehow manage to re-sign Bourne to a favorable contract, and we find a really good LF via free agency. I know the upcoming season hasn't started yet, but is there a projected FA list for this upcoming off-season?

The thing is, Boras is Bourn's agent so if we sign him, it won't be to a favorable contract. And that would pretty much mean we wouldn't have the money to sign a good LF.

That's why I want to trade Jurrjens for a top minor league CF that will be ready to take over after Bourn leaves.

Here is the list of potential free agents though:

As I said, I was really surprised by all the intelligent baseball posters on here. I can not say the same about most Braves fans I come across, unfortunately.


I see how it is.

I'm talking about guys such as,

The everyday posters here, besides Hull, are damn knowledgable.

Most other Braves fans, are not

The admin thought I was, but I've actually been pretty friendly to everyone besides this one douche.

I try to stay as nice as possible when dealing with Jones' value, because they get pissy over that.

When they asked what I would give up, I told them more than I actually would, and they still didn't think it was even close to being enough for Jones.

It's crazy the amount of value they put on the guy that has a lower career OPS than Martin Prado.

HOLY CRAP! Looking at the FA list for 2013, there are a bunch of old bastards on there ...

So ASSUMING that everyone on the list will be there, we lose Bourne (Boras), we could go out and get B.J. Upton for a replacement. Relatively young guy (29), and then try and sign Delmon young (27). I still would like to know how they plan to find Chipper's replacement. I know everyone says Prado, but if he gets traded, then what? Fill from within?

When did you try to sign up?

They didn't activate me for like a week after I initially signed, I think.

In December sometime. Probably because I have ATL in my username.

That could work, but I don't want either of those guys.

As for Chipper's replacement, I mean it really depends on if he retires or not. I've never said this in years previous, but I really think this will be his last.

If Prado stays, he'll take over next year, then I think we probably let him go in Free Agency. You then expect Joe Terdoslavich to take over in 2014, but this will be his first year in the minors as a full-time 3B and played almost exclusively at 1B last year.

In a perfect world, he plays for a year or two and Salcedo is ready to become the superstar he has the opportunity to be. He's the wildcard here. This is going to be a big year for him.

If Prado is traded, who fricking knows. Maybe Terd would be ready to play 3B in the bigs next year. He is already 23. I don't see Prado getting traded anymore though.

Ok...how about this. Teheran/Prado/Minor/Salcedo for Jones and a VHS recording of that episode of Seinfeld where Elaine refused to take off her Orioles cap at the Yankees game. That sounds like a fair deal to me.

I don't even know why the frick we're going after that guy. The dude had the exact same OBP as Heyward this year, and Heyward was complete shite.

I guess this wouldn't matter as much if he hit lower in the order but still.

Now onto something else to talk about...

do ya'll think that Fredi will put Chipper back in the 3 hole this year? He did show he's not afraid to move him around if need be.

I say he does.
