Markakis has been credited with 18 errors in his 9 year career.
really you are using errors as a sign of a good fielder? Jeter had 254 errors in his career, Ozzie smith 281 so therefore Jeter >>> Ozzie

Dude. Errors don't define how good of a fielder you are.

Wait so they define an OF but not an IF....

Nick has a -4.7 defensive WAR for his career, so he is actually pretty bad

Ok well I can already tell most of you don't agree with me.

Doesn't matter. I'll be looking for a new team soon because the Braves front office is a flaming paper bag full of shite.

Oh yeah. Completely bandwagon bro. For 26 years.

Oh I was 100% serious. I couldn't have said that just because I'm frustrated with the continuously shitty moves we make every year.

Hooray tanking! I'm surprised they could get any veterans to sign right now given that they're in obvious tanking mode

This isn't tanking, this is staying mediocre

Which is more frustrating than just outright sucking to me.

So I really haven't read much of this thread, but I'm guessing all of the Braves fans in here are ultra defensive because of the moves were making and other people are making fun?

I'm trying to make sense as to why everyone was so offended by my comment.

If Nick can give us 80/15/70 with a solid OBP and make all the routine plays in the OF, I'll be a satisfied customer. He cost a little more than I would have liked but he doesn't carry much risk nor would his contract hinder us from making big moves down the road.

I would still like to kick the tires on Rios.

No. I am not pleased with this move either. All I was saying is that Markakis is not seen as a good defensive outfielder by most metrics. A huge drop off defensively from Heyward.

The Jim Johnson signing seems to be a good buy low, but other than that we've made a lot of questionable decisions this offseason imo.
