This is all because Larry Wayne is coming in as hitting coach and he likes Fredi. Larry + Bobby + Fredi= Championship!

Can someone get a hold of 31 and ask him when he's paying out Fantasy baseball this year?

Who won?

We need to cut our ties with Bobby, Fredi, Schuerholz, etc.
"The Braves Way" got us one title in 25 years.

Trade Candidate: Evan Gattis
quote:
As always, it is hard to forecast a return on a trade. But there is one fairly recent, fairly solid comp: the pre-2013 John Jaso deal. Jaso, a (lefty) bat-first catcher then entering his age-29 season and coming off of a huge campaign, was shipped to the Athletics in a three-team swap that saw Michael Morse go from the Nationals to the Mariners and prospects move back to D.C. from Oakland. While the arms that moved in that trade — A.J. Cole, Blake Treinen, and Ian Krol — have seen their stock rise rather significantly since that deal, at the time it was considered a substantial-but-fair price for the A’s to pay to acquire Jaso. (The Morse element of the deal, of course, has been the subject of plenty of criticism.)
In some ways Gattis is less useful than Jaso, who kills righties and has a clear, if limited role. On the other, he has more potential as an everyday option, as he not only mashes lefties but puts up good numbers against same-handed pitchers and is perhaps a better all-around defender. And Gattis possesses a power-based skillset that many teams still desire, especially as it continues to diminish in availability.
So, can Atlanta improve on the Jaso return — a legitimate outlay of talent, to be sure, but one that had plenty of risk and did not contribute immediately to the MLB roster — or will it face the tough choice of taking a potentially significant hit to its likelihood of contention in the next year or two? That probably depends on how many teams have interest in Gattis as at least a semi-regular backstop.

Gattis needs to find a DH home

I love Gattis, but if they arent going to play him full time, then I agree. I dont have faith that Bethancourt is going to do anything with the bat, but the front office is dead set on him being our everyday catcher. Might as well get something for Gattis while he is young, and has value.

You're dead wrong, Bethancourt is going to be really good. How can I tell? The ball makes a sound off his bat you only hear from Stanton's and every so often from Upton's

Going to be so many changes this offseason.

@JeffPassan: Sources: John Hart has turned down the Braves' offer to be GM. For now, Atlanta focused on AGM John Coppolella and Royals GM Dayton Moore.
quote:
@JeffPassan: Braves have yet to speak with Dayton Moore and do not know level of interest. Doubt in Atlanta org whether he'd leave Kansas City.
quote:
@JeffPassan: Another name that has been bandied about: Former Rockies GM Dan O'Dowd, whose ties with John Hart go back to their days in Cleveland.
quote:
@JeffPassan: Hart plans to stay on in advisory role. Atlanta essentially threw a blank check at him, but he did not want the rigors of the 24/7 GM job.

Sad day when anybody at any level in KC's organization chooses to not jump ship for ATL
Posted on 10/14/14 at 11:09 pm to LSUsmartass
If KC wins the World Series and gets rid of GMDM they would be the luckiest team ever.
