2017 Atlanta Braves Thread (w/ occasional Red Sox talk for Hark)

Really? They are both injury prone but Harper is younger and left handed for yankee stadium.
Yes really. I respect what Harper is as a player but I don’t like him. Plus his defense sucks. Give me Giancarlo all day everyday.
Giancarlo is wayyyyyyyyy better than Harper.
Keep in mind Stanton hits in one of the toughest parks in all of baseball to hit home runs. He has a legit shot at Bonds' single-season record if he goes to a different team.
Harper is an overrated prick.
Stanton is an injury risk, but a freak of nature. I'd kill to have him on my team.

Maybe the Marlins would have been more competitive if Stanton stayed healthy.
Looks like we’re going to lose Starlin Castro (major sucks bc I loved that guy) but we get to hold on to all of our top prospects which is amazing.

Nice, that saves me the need to GAF next year. I can tune in next offseason to see if Price opts out of his contract.
We need to get Christian Yelich on this team. I've always been a big fan of his. An outfield of Yelich, Inciarte and Acuna is how to get this thing kickstarted.
The Braves are one of several teams that are involved with Yelich. I agree that he would be a great addition to the offense.
Just read somewhere that the Marlins did not a receive a single top 100 prospect from the Stanton and Ozuna deals. Ouch.
I’m just here to say when the Yankees get Machado (yes when) you’re looking at another 2-3 championships in a short amount of time. Modern day Murder’s Row.
That assumes you'll re-sign Machado considering he only has a year left on his deal.
Going to have to win games 15-13 cuz your rotation b-l-o-w-s. Unfortunately, I wouldn't put it past them to average 15 runs of offense per game

Wouldn't the Yankees be better off getting more help for the rotation? I don't see the need for Machado. They will score a ton of runs with who they have already.
Rotation is fine. ITs not the best but went that far this year w it. Relax. So no the Yankees wouldn’t be better off.
Machado is the best 3rd baseman in baseball. It’s a no brainer.
Don’t see the need? Lolololol really?
His offense is second to his defensive skills. And that’s saying A LOT.

He would improve their offense, no doubt. I just don't trust anyone they have in the rotation beyond Severino. I'm not a Yankees fan, so I could care less what they do.
It’s cool. Tanaka is still the ace. Severino, Sonny Gray, J Montgomery will be fine. Still have Garcia and Domingo German too. Also a kick ass bullpen.
Don’t believe us just watch.
At this point the Sox need to just punt on the 2018 season, not put any more money on the books for this year, and go all in on the monster FA class next year. Hope that Price opts out after next year to free up an additional 31M/year too.
If we waste money on Hosmer and/or JD Martinez I'm gonna be pissed.

I think the Sox end up with at least one of Hosmer or JD. Dombrowski has to be feeling some pressure to do something big after the Stanton deal.
