Trading Caratini is looking like a dumb move.

I'd take Caratini over Flowers right now.
Of course then we would have never experienced the great and amazing Emilio Bonifacio, so that has to be factored in.
"Lucas Sims—The best pitcher in the system and one of the top 20 pitching prospects in baseball. It’s not a matter of if he’ll be a major league pitcher, but when (probably next year)."
DOH!

Sims and Wisler were both top prospects who are on just about the same career paths. It's not too late for either one of them, but it's put up or shut up time.

We've had some real abortions with certain players in recent history......Olivera, Wisler, Sims, Bethancourt, Aaron Blair, who was a top MLB pitching prospect when we trade for him and he ended up pitching a total of 73 innings in the major leagues. The only thing we ended up with in the Kimbrel trade was Austin Riley, he ended up being the draft pick we acquired. I'm sure I'm missing some more obvious ones. Melvin of course, he caused the Kimbrel trade, Melvin will go down as possibly my least favorite Braves player ever. Not fond of his brother either for that matter. Fat, lazy, loud mouthed complainer, literally every single season he has played his team has underachieved, not a coincidence.

The Uptons had an entitlement attitude. Never liked either one, but at least Justin had hot streaks. Melvin was a waste and the biggest mistake this franchise ever made.

I hate to make fun of one of my heroes, but here goes--somebody told Willians there were a dozen doughnuts waiting for him at home plate:

Member this?
Worst attempt....evar.....of "throwing at" a hitter.
Glavine looked like he was pissed off. There's another video of Murphy talking about it, saying Bobby ordered it.
Glavine's heart wasn't in it, looked like those pitches were all below 80 mph.
It was not right to call for it against Murphy, and I'm an old school guy.
