Atlanta Braves Thread - Francisco Cabrera edition

[Scotty's Flat Top]

mike "maple maddux" soroka is gonna be a stud.

🤦*♂️

 

[LotteryPick]

If he’s in Law’s list, he’s in the top 50. 51-100 was released today. Braves listed today:

Pache
Soroka
Bryse Wilson
Fried
Toussaint
Wentz

He was particularly high on Pache, expecting him to develop into 20+ HR power, decent average, and compares his defense to a certain former Braves CF by the last name of Jones.

Glad Wilson gets respect here.

Also if Pache develops 20 HR power he's a top 10 prospect.

 

[TBrown]

Freddie Freeman
Ozzie Albies
Ronald Acuna
Dansby Swanson
Ender Inciarte
A STABLE of young pitchers
Cash money in the 2018 FA class

Who’s got it better than us?

Nobody

 

[Regulator]

Acuna is #1 on Law’s list. No Maitan to be found.

 

[CagleMtnVol]

Kris Medlen has signed a Minor League deal with Arizona.

 

[AV_12]

Acuna is #1 on Law’s list. No Maitan to be found.

Yikes King Kevin

Yikes King Kevin

He may be the next Ed Salcedo.


Him not being on the list means nothing, wish we had him.

If there’s a ballot that has Vizquel over Andrew that person should be thrown in jail

Officially taking a Florida vacation in February, gonna miss the start of Spring Training by 3 days... -_-

Vizquel with 37%, Larry Walker with 34%, and Andruw with 7%... whatever... like any manager would start Walker over Andruw lol

10 straight gold gloves. 10!

Yeah, Larry Walker had a much better career.

Best defensive CF ever.

 

[zjcvols]

I don’t have a problem with Larry over Andruw (even though Walker played 150 games just once in his career!) but anyone that votes for Vizquel should have their HOF ballot taken away.

 

[zjcvols]

Andrelton Simmons has the same career OPS as Vizquel.

 

[zjcvols]

Andruw is 11th in career WAR for CF. Considering how many CF’s are in the HOF you can easily make the case for him.

.254/.337/.486 just isn’t good enough.

 

[BigZiti09]

.254/.337/.486 just isn’t good enough.

400+ homeruns and arguably the best outfielder defensively to ever play.

There’s an argument to be made.

.254/.337/.486 just isn’t good enough.

I think that’s a fair point. I go more to the Jaffe argument in what you did during your prime and .268/.346/.506 while being the best defensive player ever (not named Mays, Smith or Robinson) is a hell of a resume.

 

[zjcvols]

Also I give more credit for durability. Yeah that’s great the numbers Walker put up but he also was missing 20-30 games a year while Andruw played 154+ games a year for ten straight years.

.268/.346/.506 isn’t hall worthy either

fair to a degree, but you need to account for Andruw going on a milk carton the last half of his prime. He needed 4-5 more very good years ... and well he had to be carried across the finish line.
