I'd drop Camargo off the list of untouchables.

I'd also add Folty to the list of untouchable.

But outside of those names, there's really not anyone we would get much of a haul for except maybe Matt Adams. Nobody is gonna give more than some mid range prospects for Dickey at his age.
I think a team contending and needing pitching would give us a good prospect for Dickey. He has been solid these last 2 months

Yeah, but he's what, 43 years old. I don't see much of a return for Dickey.

Plus we have an option for next season, and we'll probably need him.

Off Topic but I found this Chip Caray twitter interaction funny.

I'll be somewhat surprised if Camargo is a future everyday player for the Atlanta Braves.

I could see him in an Omar Infante/Martin Prado type super utility roll, but by no means is he untouchable IMO.

Not crazy about Adams playing left regularly. Pretty stoked to watch Ozzie and Sims though!!

Id be pissed if I was Phillips.... I think Adams is a better option than Kemp in LF,Kemp sucks at the plate and is slow as shit.

Why Ask Phillips to play 3rd?? Why not put Albies at SS,Camargo at 3rd, and keep BP at 2nd?

Considering the opponent VERY good debut for Sims.

At least Sims looked good last night. Quality start, an most importantly, 0 walks(hopefully Newcomb was paying attention).

But this team as a whole has just decided to be pathetic and didn't get him any run support.

No fucking reason to be shutout until late in the game by a pitcher that had gone 5 or more innings once in his last 9 starts with the game at STP. Fucking pathetic. I swear, I don't think they're trying and I don't think they really even give a shit.

Ive pretty much stopped caring about Wins/Losses after the Philly series. I just want our young guys to play well.

It's all we can hope for at this point. Really, it does no good bitching about Jim Johnson blowing another save now. Doesn't really matter. I just want the team to be able to contend next season. And that means finding a way to move Kemp.

Calm down. It's revocable waiver. That means that Braves can pull back and keep even if get claimed.
