The Atlanta Braves Thread

Or... guys who never pan out and don't end up doing that much for two known commodities under team control, one a frontline starter who would be our number 1 or if not, our number 2 at worst, and another a very good closer which our current team doesn't have.

IMO I don't think anything points to Waters, Anderson being busts yet. Wright's time to show something is running short Jenista is still another year or two away. His July wasn't bad...

There is this from ESPN

Trout also had a poor 40 game call up as a 19 year old that people conveniently ignore for that graphic

I’m not saying theyre busts. I’m saying we don’t know what they are. So if we could trade them for known commodities like Thor, it’s worth the risk. Far more guys don’t pan out than do. That’s my point. We know what Thor is, we don’t know what any of these prospects will be yet

Okay? Acuna was 20 when he was called up. The point is he’s that kind of talent.

Have a bag feeling my man Trey Harris is moved

I’m not giving up Pache for anyone not named Degrom or Scherzer

I never said anything about giving up Pache.

What does everyone think about Brian Godwin for outfield help?

 

[volsarelife1]

I don't like Bumgarner, but you know if he goes to the Astros he's going to start pitching like his 2014 postseason self. It's going to happen.

 

[The Sheriff]

They can’t keep Thor after all of this messing with his head. It’s just a matter of where he goes.

Nah, the Dodgers, Cubs, Red Sox and Yankees are not interested.

 

[The Sheriff]

Bringing Wheeler home wouldn’t suck and Bowman said he’d be much cheaper to acquire.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

I can’t believe we haven’t heard anything. We need an OF too. I thought we’d have acquired somebody by now

Pirates apparently wanted Lux for Vázquez.

According to who?

Jimmy

I think the Pirates assume that teams will way overpay because they way overpaid last year.

Someone probably will
