Braves sign Arcia to a 2-year guarantee. WTH is it with the Braves and this guy? ? That's ridiculous.
And if Dansby gets hurt, Arcia is going to be the guy.
Career wRC+ of 70, and he's not even that good of a defensive player.
Obviously Snitker thinks he looks like one of them baseball player guys.

To me Arcia is like signing Kevan to a two year guaranteed contract. For that matter, I just looked it up, and Kevan has an 82 career wRC+ compared to Arcia's 70. Thank god Snikter doesn't think Kevan looks like one of them baseball player guys.

The Mutts non tendered Robert Gsellman, I have a bad feeling he's the type of guy we'll grab and I am not much of a fan. At least he has long hair so he doesn't look like one of them baseball player guys, that's in our favor.

Camargo, Rodriquez, and de la Cruz all non tendered. Newcomb is safe, wtf? I gave up on Newcomb two years ago because he can't throw strikes, but he did have a great last couple months at Gwinnett this year. He had a 1.62 ERA and got his walk rate down to 2 per every nine innings. He's pretty much averaged 5 walks per 9 innings his entire major league AND minor league career. So apparently we still have hope for him. But it is interesting that given all of that, and the fact that he has pitched in 6 playoff games for us a reliever and accrued 8 innings pitched, 2 hits, 3 walks and a 1.08 playoff ERA......somehow he was still below Lee and Davidson on the depth chart for the playoffs this season.
But this type of thing is commonplace for our Elmer Fudd manager guy.

I can't see a guy named Anthopoulos signing a guy whose last name is missing vowels. It's just not a good look.

I still don't get the Richard Rodriquez situation. The Braves gave up Bryse Wilson and Ricky DeVito for the guy and then never really used him. He was the Pirates closer and pretty highly regarded, and in the few instances he did pitch for the Braves he wasn't terrible. I could see him being a solid right handed set up guy. Who knows...maybe he came over and was difficult to deal with. You never know what goes on behind the scenes.

Who knows...maybe he came over and was difficult to deal with. You never know what goes on behind the scenes. His strikeout numbers dipped when he got here. I also read that his spin rate decreased after the crack down on the sticky stuff. But if you listen to the folks around here, it was his long hair and beard that doomed him. Had he looked different, it probably would have been him closing out the World Series instead of Smith. Sucks for him.
