Best signing of the new year: https://www.draysbay.com/2019/1/16/1...ricia-whitaker

That's how you pump up a team w/o a $300M contract!

no, that would be how you objectify a woman qualified to do her job. #partypooper

Who has the better 2019, wealthy Nate Eovaldi or Jose Urena? Baseball Reference projections for the two are nearly identical, with Urena slated for more innings.

If the Braves are offering a package of Riley, Anderson, and Toussaint, it should be done already. That's a really good haul.

Not sure if Touki is in thats why put Touki?

More likely its Riley/Anderson/1 of Wentz,Allard,Wilson,Mueller(Still a good haul) but Miami has to get off Riley/Anderson/1 of Inciarte,Swanson,Newcomb first

This is what should be done, and I would suspect Conley and a Braves FV40 throw in are also included to throw a cherry on top for everyone.

Exactly what makes sense is

Atlanta-JT and Conley(if needed)
Miami-Riley/Anderson/Mueller or Wentz(but cool with Wilson too)/Alex Jackson

By way only reason I keep saying Mueller or Wentz is they are lefties and we have none in system. Wilson is carbon copy of others and not a Allard fan

ML 3B
2 AA SP
AAA C who could move to 1B/LF. Really buying the bat however

Yes, she was just great. And wonderful to my little grandsons when they bumped into her at the souvenir shop at Marlins Park a couple years ago.

Mueller and Wentz also make more sense as their ETA is further back, so Atlanta can try all their arms this and next year.

Jackson is a perfect throw in.

Allison Williams was great. The new girl - Jessica? - is nowhere near as good.

Not really mentioned but how perfect would a

Thames and low level prospect or 2 for Starlin trade be for BOTH teams

Milwaukee gets a 2nd Baseman and we get a left handed bat 1B/LF. Sign a Neil Walker or vet to play 2B until July then trade them and call up Isan

[fish16]

that braves deal makes way too much sense for both sides, but im also pissed before the trade is even agreed to that we would 100% start Riley at 3b to start the year rather than doing the smart thing with service time. Thrilled though that they prefer Anderson over Soroka.

Well not sure they start Riley at 3B to start the year. Remember Prado is still here. No clue what they would do but if they get Riley BA is RF for next few years and maybe 1B

Thats what people are hearing but doesn't make it true.They loved Gohara before LY. We heard last year they loved Dakota Hudson and ended up with Alcantara and Gallen. We heard they loved Corbin Martin but also hearing Josh James and Cionel Perez

What I heard is they like Wright RIGHT NOW but Atlanta refuses to trade him but they like Anderson AND Soroka just as much so not a big issue. Anderson is 2 years younger and they think he will be better than Wright at age 23. Soroka had shoulder issues and they dont wanna take the chance

doubt milwaukee does it and we should just hold steady with Starlin till the deadline and give Diaz the job after the deadline and trade Starlin then. He has no value really other than as a guy who we can keep in the lineup as a placeholder for a few months without having to rush our prospects.

[tjfla]

They got Castro at 2B with Isan waiting and Prado at 3B with possibly Riley waiting. They are in NO rush to move the young guys up because #1 Castro and Prado could improve trade value and #2 longer they are down the longer u can delay FA

Same with Austin Dean and Cooper-if they show something cool and if not they gone in 2020

2019 is a NOTHING year. Goal is see if Hillman fits,evaluate guys,get Top 3 Pick for 2020/IFA players and get more guys in the system

I think moving Anderson to 1b longterm might make a ton of sense if we get Riley. He is good in RF but we have nothing at 1b in the system and a plethora of young OF prospects who should be ready in 1-2 years. Good problem to have and can always figure it out in the future.

As for Soroka, Anderson and Wright, i'd probably rank Anderson and Wright 1A and 1B and then Soroka a relatively distant 2. He has a higher floor IMO but his ceiling isnt high, he has the shoulder injuries, and we already have a ton of high floor low ceiling guys. Gimme either of anderson or Wright (id be thrilled with either) and take the chance on them not panning out in exchange for the possibility that they fulfill their top of the rotation talent.

I'd give Cooper and O'Brien the 1b job this year and just throw them out there and hope you find some long term pieces in a year we will suck anyways. This year needs to be all about player development in the minors and seeing what sticks in the majors with the young Sp's who will be ready this year.

I dont think they do either just saying makes a ton of sense for both teams. Miami gets the left handed power they want and Milwaukee gets a 2nd Baseman instead of Spangenberger

FA 2B-Harrison,Solarte,Forsythe,Asdrubal OR if u make a JT to TB trade-Arroyo,Brandon Lowe,Solak

Ya if u get Riley then u play him at 3B and BA in RF. IF VV,Brinson,Harrison pan out then u move BA to 1B in 2020 and if 1 of them doesn't he stays in RF as all 3 can play LF/CF

Thats the plan. O'Brien and Cooper at 1B and OF with Pedro Alvarez OR ? as LH power bat at 1B/OF for 2019. If they hit cool and if not see u later for 2020

- - - - - - - - - -

IF u do a trade with Houston or TB then BA is in RF till Prado gone then back to 3B with Tucker OR Jesus Sanchez in RF. Then u got VV,Brinson,Harrison,Tucker OR Sanchez in the OF for 2020. IF all 4 look good then u send Tucker or Brinson to 1B(I KNOW just saying) and BA is at 3B

Its a great problem to have they just need to figure it out!!!
