You don't think we'll resign Mac?
I'd say that looks pretty accurate. I want McCann here but it depends on the amount of money. That lineup isn't exactly bad. The rotation looks really good.

 

[bravesfan]

Not a chance, 30 year old catchers and the NL dont mix well. McCann will be in the American League next season

Not to mention that the braves have Gattis and Bethancourt waiting their turn

Jordan Schafer = BJ Upton Insurance

 

[ugafan6612]

^^^If BJ doesn't hit 220 or higher the first 2 months i'd seriously start schafer

 

[Demonjoe93]

I still don't get why we didn't start Schafer at LF during the Playoffs. He had a good batting average and he plays better defense than Gattis in the outfield.

Do y'all think Hudson will still be around? I believe he said he wasn't interested in going out with an injury and would like to stay with Atlanta.

 

[bravesfan]

Huddy would have to take a big paycut to come back

Braves make coaching moves

Braves are negotiating with Huddy, so he might come back

I think he will

This team is in position to win the nl east again, but can we be built for the postseason for once?

 

[Hunter Montana]

Does anyone think the Braves will try to acquire Brandon Phillips (for Dan Uggla and some prospect or money or both)? Or are they just testing the water to see what it might take?

What do you think the Braves do at second base? Do they give Uggla another year to try and rebound?

no, last thing the braves need is to replace one over the hill veteran when another one who's current contract doubles Uggla's. Just not worth it.

Rameiro Pena deserves a chance to win the position outright, or maybe get someone from Free Agency

Probably they only place that makes sense since you know that he won't accept anything less than a starting job.

Well he should start for a lot of teams...just not for the money he's asking for. The Red Sox/Yanks could easily give that money to him though.

Pena will not be the 2B. Only chance of it being someone already in the organization is La Stella, and I hope it is him.

 

[wildturkey]

So Freeman got locked up for 8 years, 135 mil. Heyward gets 2 years, 13ish mil. Fair enough imo. Freeman's deal will probably be somewhat of a steal if he continues to play at an all star level. Still wish we could spend for some pitching though. Stupid TV deal.

 

[Steelboy84]

The only thing Im asking is can we be a deep October team instead of a regular season/first round team.


Uggla needs to go now!

Kimbrel signed!
