Low risk signing for a proven vet coming off a bad year. I don't mind it at all.

The negotiations between the Braves and outfielder Nick Markakis have intensified. Hearing the deal could wind up in range of 4/$45m.

Let's do it. Help get rid of some of these insane K numbers we've been putting up offensively.

Closer to the range that Heyward was worth.

Fredi wouldn't know what to do with Markakis. No way he could bat him in the 2 hole if Freeman batted third. I guess he would have to bat 1 or 5

True, but even so, he would be the best 1 hole hitter we currently have on the team.

done deal

Jeff Passan @JeffPassan
Source: OF Nick Markakis agrees to four-year deal with Atlanta Braves. Dollars unclear, but sides discussed a deal in neighborhood of $44M.

#orioles were negotiating 4-year deal with Markakis but became hesitant to guarantee 4th year.

Lol wut

2011 wRC+: 105
2012 wRC+: 126
2013 wRC+: 88
2014 wRC+: 106

He is a bad baserunner and fielder as well. Will be a 35 y/o at the end of this deal.

Not much to like here. His ability to get on base is good though.

going from heyward to markakis in right is going to be a pretty big drop

but if we get 40 doubles, 12 HR's and OBP of .350+ I'm happy

Bad fielder? Markakis has been credited with 18 errors in his 9 year career.

There are things to be skeptical about but this isn't it

There has been a lot of buzz about Upton to Seattle. You'd think Walker would have to come in return. Who knows though. This has been a very weird offseason.
