Atlanta Braves II

[whocaresgobobcats]

Some interesting stuff in there, but also a fair amount of stathead gobbledygook.

My personal favorite:

Ya don't say.

Only thing they left out is voodoo.

This is what I love seeing on the Braves homepage. Wren better be making some trades then.

Frank Wren trollin the Faildians.


Braves eat 10m of the 15m and get a second tier prospect.

 

[Vercingetorix]

I'm assuming the deal will go something like this: Indians get Lowe; Braves pay vast majority of Lowe's salary, get a middling minor leaguer in return. Not a legitimate prospect or anything.

 

[golfballs]

thats about what he was worth

 

[GAVol]

Also, Nate McLouth's option predictably not picked up. The braves shaved about $8 million in payroll this morning. Put that with the Kawakami money and there's room for a B level free agent.

They're picking up Eric Hinske's option for 2012.

Nice moves. Very nice.

Hell, to get anything in return for Lowe is a win in my book.

 

[golfballs]

Considering the other arms we have lined up behind him, this is a net gain. We improve our rotation and get money to pursue some offense.

Good move.

His lack of playing time the last two months was distrubing. But right call.

Right when I criticize you, Wren. You go and do something awesome like this. You sneaky son of a b****. :clap:

"Lowe was dealt for 23-year-old left-hander Chris Jones, who went 7-1 with 3.36 ERA in 43 games at Kinston (A) last season. The Braves are eating all but $5 million of the $15 million remaining on the last year of Lowe's contract, sources told ESPN The Magazine's Buster Olney"

Praise God

Worth $10 mil to not watch him hang sinkers and lose games anymore. Addition by subtraction.

Good time to be a bar owner in Cleveland... Lowe will be sure to be making major investments across town.

just realized that Kawakami is now gone too. It's actually more like $13-14 million that came off the books yesterday.

 

[volville]

Hopefully that money is spent and not just pocketed.

And causing Indians fans to drink heavily.

That's disappointing. Really wish someone would buy this team, that would actually spend the big money it takes to be great.
