Saw that one a mile away

Y'all really owe it to yourself to go check out the comments on the Atlanta Braves FB page. It's like reading the Football forum right after a late night loss to Florida.

As expected, the Braves subreddit is a pretty big fan of all of the moves so far. Seems like a prett level headed group. I'm sure the FB is a tire fire.

Chances that this Archer thing could happen?

Come on, AA...

If the Rays decide to trade him, 25%

1 of 4 teams, so 25%?

Yes. I still don’t know if Tampa moves him yet. I’d be surprised if LAD makes a move. So maybe 30%?

 

[TBrown]

I’d put Archer in a Braves uniform down closer to 10%

AA bettering the team and buying time for information on the prospect cache. What a guy

 

[Wickman]

Pirates got Kela

Odubel Herrera the real MVP

Single handedly lost that game last night

Bieber wasn’t even a top 100 prospect to start the year and isn’t a top 3 Indians prospect...the price could be right for Atlanta

BP pitcher

I know one thing, we want the Nats to get hot enough to keep Harper.

The club had its eyes on Lance Lynn, who was acquired by the Yankees Monday night. The primary interest is to potentially add a controllable front-line starter like the Rays' Chris Archer.

- Bowman

 

[Kingston Vol]

We’re going to get him.

 

[AV_12]

Padres would seem like a waste.

 

[AV_12]

They’re not close to being good. At all. Hosmer add was dumb, and giving up prospects right now would be just as bad.

Lynn is a better fit in the NL.

 

[TBrown]

Which is exactly why they’re doing it...

What am I missing here. This dude is a career .233 hitter who is batting like .205 this season. Is it just the power numbers as the upside?

Duvall has never been a hitting for average type guy as long as I've watched as a Red. This season though I'm really not sure what went wrong and why he is only sitting around .200-.205. The numbers are there though: 15 HR & 61 RBIs. Plus he is a great defensive guy in the outfield. I really do wish him luck but this season trying to watch him bat is as bad as watching Billy Hamilton. So what can you tell me about the guys we got in return? The pitchers aren't really eye popping.

Not me man. I want the nats buried. We’re better than the Phillies everyday Nola isn’t pitching.

Oh I get it, I would just hate to see the dividends they could get in return.
