Just read the first thing I've seen linking braves and Matt garza.. It was very much an after that as in "braves may have interest in a top of the rotation guy" etc etc

Lets just send Julio over there for Gregg and Garza. *weeps openly

Z why is your worst hitter leading off

Z why is your worst hitter leading off

I changed it. I got Tulo hitting leadoff.

You can also switch Yadi and Phillips, though I like Phillips speed in that 7th spot hitting behind Beltran and Yadi.

Tulo
Votto
Wright
Harper
Goldy
CarGo
Beltran
Molina
Phillips

Nah, they ain't trade Columbian Jesus. Wren ain't that stupid.

Garza would be fine to get though, assuming we can trade Maholm for some bullpen help. I'd be perfectly happy with this playoff rotation.

Garza
Minor
Medlen
Teheran

Just don't give up Wood for Garza. If that's possible.

But I am more worried about our bullpen. If the Braves want to win in the playoffs, they've got to sure up the bullpen.

Votto should hit 2nd. He's a singles hitter.

Phillips should hit 5th behind Goldschmidt as his Avg. with RISP is .404.

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

In terms of the Braves deadline, I feel the same way about them as I do the Reds. Pitching isn't the issue.

 

[005]

Don't do this Nati. Phillips should hit last as he is the least good hitter.

 

[zjcvols]

Votto should hit 2nd. He's a singles hitter.

Phillips should hit 5th behind Goldschmidt as his Avg. with RISP is .404.

I like the Votto idea at 2nd.

I disagree with Phillips in the 5 spot.

 

[zjcvols]

Tulo
Votto
Wright
Harper
Goldy
CarGo
Beltran
Molina
Phillips

CarGo 4th, IMO.

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

Don't do this Nati. Phillips should hit last as he is the least good hitter.

O rly? Based on batting average?

Why don't you have Yadier Molina in the 3 spot?

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

I like the Votto idea at 2nd.

I disagree with Phillips in the 5 spot.

.404 with RISP is better than all but 2 people in the league I believe.

Freeman
Goldschmidt

In the end it doesn't really matter but high averages don't do anything for me if you fail to hit with runners in scoring psoition.

It's actually 3 with Allen Craig on another planet currently at .489.

 

[005]

CarGo 4th, IMO.

Yeah i would be fine with swapping those two haha.

 

[005]

O rly? Based on batting average?

Why don't you have Yadier Molina in the 3 spot?

Molina should hit third before Phillips leads off.

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

Also, why is Harper considered a better hitter than anyone in this lineup based on future potential alone?

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

Molina should hit third before Phillips leads off.

I don't think Phillips should lead off, do I?
