David Carroll @davidcarroll3 · 25m Surprise! On a 1st place team loaded with towering sluggers, this compact middle infielder is leading the #Braves with 52 RBI, and is on pace for 117. #OzzieAlbies is the most joyful player in the game, and should be featured in every @mlb promo campaign.

That projects out to 38hr and 117rbi... That's better than anything Chase Utley ever put up. And he is God around these parts.

Speaking of Utley... He and Andruw Jones had similar careers in terms of War. Utley at 64.5 and Jones at 62.7... Given that, what player would you pick if you could choose either at age 20? Both are Hall worthy...somewhat. I always said if Jones retired 5 years prior to when he did, he would have a better shot. Those last 5 years were devastating to his final career numbers...

NL East---Biggest needs
Atlanta Braves
A starting pitcher
The Braves are the best team in the National League but that won’t stop president of baseball operations Alex Anthopoulos from working to improve this team in the hopes of winning another world championship. Atlanta’s starters rank second in the NL in team ERA and yet starting pitching remains the club’s top goal and priority in acquisitions.
Miami Marlins
Another bat
The Marlins are looking to add an impact bat and believe if they can do so they could be a playoff team come October. They haven’t gotten much offensive production from the left side of their infield and could match up well with the White Sox in a deal for either Tim Anderson or Yoán Moncada, or with the Nationals for Jeimer Candelario, Lane Thomas or Joey Meneses.
Philadelphia Phillies
A corner infielder and a fifth starter
The Phillies were excited to reinstate Alec Bohm from the IL this week because he solves either first or third base (whichever one he’s playing). They trust Kody Clemens and Edmundo Sosa as role players but would prefer to acquire a better all-around corner infielder. They match up well with the Nationals in a potential trade for third baseman Jeimer Candelario. The fifth starter spot, currently vacant, has been a problem for the Phillies all season long. Top prospect Andrew Painter, who is working to come back from a UCL sprain, threw a 20-pitch bullpen session Tuesday and is scheduled to throw another Friday. There’s no timeline for his return but the Phillies hope he can eventually fix their fifth starter issue. If not, they’ll certainly look at the trade market because they have limited options within the organization outside of Painter.
New York Mets
A starting pitcher and a corner outfielder
The Mets have not gotten the overall performance they expected from their $40 million-per-year future Hall of Fame pitchers, Justin Verlander and Max Scherzer, but that could change for the better going forward. And although Kodai Senga has delivered, Carlos Carrasco has been inconsistent. If everything goes well, José Quintana could complete his rehab and return around the All-Star break, which will be a boost for the rotation, but the Mets could still use another starter. They also could use another impact corner bat. They rank in the bottom third of the league in hitting with runners in scoring position. Starling Marte is not producing at the plate, though he does have 19 steals. If the Mets don’t start winning soon, they could be surprise sellers at the deadline.
Washington Nationals
A controllable starting pitcher
The Nationals remain all about building for the future. They will have trade pieces at the deadline, including their best position players, Jeimer Candelario and Lane Thomas, along with several bullpen arms. The Nationals are looking to acquire young starting pitchers in most of their trade proposals.

Mark Bowman @mlbbowman · 1h What would have been worse, doing what they did, or having to apologize for not having a backup catcher because you didn’t want to hurt a 34 year-old man’s feelings? I think Culberson could rejoin the roster soon. There will be other first pitch opportunities. Quote Tweet
Brian Crout @sogobravo · Jun 19 Replying to @bravesstats and @mlbbowman I would think AA and Snit would probably not be aware of who throws out first pitches. Just an unfortunate set of circumstances.
