The Braves Thread

[mr.checkerboards]

If you look at the ML roster it's pretty fulle right now. 1-9 are set for the next few years. (Assuming Dansby re signs.) The rotation also is pretty full. Fried, Kyle, Spencer,Ian. That 5th spot can either be a journeyman or Muller or Soroka. The pen is the only spot we are really gonna turn guys over at. I don't hate trying to get another group of prospects in the minors for the long term to replace a few of these guys in the future.

The lineup will be interesting. Does Snit move Harris up?

I think I’d do this

Acuna
Swanson
Olson
Riley
Harris
Catcher
Cano
Ozuna
Rosario

Money Mike stays 9th.

Waters does clear a 40 man spot…maybe something? Idk just weird move as a contender. The 35th pick is nice and valuable but wouldn’t you rather trade that package for Jorge Lopez or Josh Staumont for the next couple years?

The farm system is a major problem. This move shows fixing it is at their top of their list. Vodnik is a relief candidate within the next month or so and Yates is coming.

 

[Buzzbait]

good idea... yes let's have these monsters bunt that have been batting clean-up their entire life of playing baseball and never taught to bunt

I stand corrected as I forgot that Arcia and Gosselin, who would have been in that same position, are certified monsters with a bat in hand.

vs RHP
Acuna RF
Swanson SS
Olson 1B
Riley 3B
D’Arnaud/Contreras C
Rosario LF
Ozuna DH
Cano 2B
Harris CF

vs LHP same except swap in Duvall for Rosario and Arica for Cano. 1-4 should be locked in and 8-9 should be as well with 5-7 being flexible depending on the pitching matchups. I like Harris at 9 it’s like having a 2nd leadoff hitter. I personally would go with Duvall most of the time in left but I get the feeling that’s going to be a platoon situation

Back home from what I hope is the last bachelor party ever

What’s going on with Ronald? .600 OPS for the last month

He misses Ozzie

With Harris at 9, there’s a good chance he or Acuna or Dans will be on base in front of Matt and Austin. Also, though he looks like nothing is too big for him, batting ninth takes away any pressure, especially for his first year.

The two mvp candidates? Is that serious?

 

[Volfan1000]

Waters, okay ... but Hoffman??

Feels like we got fleeced here.

Solid trade for the Braves and adding Cano to the roster adds veteran experience.

Lmaooooo

Cano 9th

Cano 9th

Eddie/TDA/Harris/Cano against lefties is but Mets don’t really have any lefties out the pen that scare you

Just not getting around to seeing who did/did not make the ASG and there are several head scratchers

I assume Arcia would hit for Cano. He should be in there late anyway for defense

 

[TBrown]

You also have Duvall to PH and upgrade defense

 

[gobravesvols16]

Just not getting around to seeing who did/did not make the ASG and there are several head scratchers

Riley should be on there for sure

 

[gobravesvols16]

When Ozzie comes back this lineup will be loaded. No weak spots 1-9

 

[Regulator]

All I know is that the Mets are gonna

Congratulations to Riley on his player of the month award for June and Cano is starting tonight.

I have more of an issue with every team being represented. No one needs to see Joe Mantiply
