Thought there might be a need for a tread where someone could come in and share a thought that might not necessarily be worth its own tread. I'll give you an example.
The Braves have won 8 road games in a row, and 10 of 11.
I'm not accustomed to this kind of winning.

I could be misremembering things. The Braves didn't necessarily hit particularly well when Terry Pendleton was the hitting coach. What I do remember is the Braves were willing to fight off pitches and take walks. That would fairly reguarly lead to the opposing starter going one less inning than usual. The Braves were able to capitalize on the opposing team's bullpen. Forcing an early exit from a starting pitcher is a good thing. It is great to see the young hitters being patient.

I'm going to take every post made in this tread and move it where it should go.

So this offseason we talked about acquiring Yelich. Yelich hasn't had that great a start to the season (.3 FWAR). I would have accepted Prado to lessen the cost and Prado has been terrible to start the season (-.5 FWAR) and for all I know he might never be a productive player again. The Brewers were considering trading an outfielder after acquiring Yelich. I would have happily traded for Domingo Santana (.1 FWAR) and I would have traded for Ryan Braun (0 FWAR) if the price was right. I guess making few moves this offseason paid off?

We previously discussed acquiring Mike Moustakas on the old message bored. He currently has a 136 wRC+ and 1.2 FWAR. He would have been a nice acquisition. I would sooner trade for Moustakas and possibly others before calling up Riley this season (if it turns out the Braves need help at 3B).
The A's are 19-20 and 5 games behind the Astros for the division lead. Lowrie could be another target should the Braves need to add a 3B.

On the old board I suggested that the Braves trade Matt Kemp for Jacoby Ellsbury. This year Ellsbury hardly played in spring training, has been injured, and hasn't played yet in the majors.

Pete you’re batting .1000 on suggested pick ups, I’d have rather had ozuna than yelich, for that I’m probably minoriTy. I’m not sure ozunas production.

Only if it were on a 1-year deal. No way the Braves should block Riley. Also, not giving up the prospects for a Moose rental. Braves shouldn't be renting players, ever.

It wasn't that I expressly wanted Yelich, I didn't. I was of the opinion that if the Braves were to trade for him that I wanted Prado in the deal to lessen the prospect cost. Obviously Prado continues to look like a dead contract right about now.

Moose wouldn't block Riley. He would indeed be a rental.

Moose wouldn't block Riley. He would indeed be a rental. Riley with 3 home runs today. Forget Moose, call up Riley now.
