Gattis to Houston?

[Mondo Jay]

Gattis is reportedly in Houston for a physical. No other details on who may be coming back. I know the Braves have been interested in Dexter Fowler in the past.

A "trio of prospects" is reportedly coming back.

The prospect with an impossible to pronounce last name was rated 43rd on Baseball America's top prospect list. Hard thrower from what I've heard. The other pitcher probably won't amount to much and I haven't heard anything about the third base prospect.


I gotta tell you, we better be world beaters in 2017 or I want John Hart's head on a stake.

I hate losing Gattis's power. Even though he was going to suck at left field and couldn't hit anything other than a fastball. An AL team is the right place for him.

These prospects better pan out. The Braves ended up with a shitty TV deal so they don't have the cash a lot of other teams have to spend so prospects is the only way to go right now. If they miss, the Braves are gonna suck for a long while

Not surprised at all that we traded him. I hope he does well in Houston.

who is going to be everyday catcher next season?

I like the prospects Atlanta got back on this one. Next year will be very interesting. The pitching should be better than last year and maybe they will have a lineup that doesn't strike out all the time.

who is going to be everyday catcher next season?

Bethencourt.

Bethencourt.

Which I'm okay with. I think he has a lot of potential.
