I'm wondering if the better play is to take advantage of Camargo's consistency, make him the everyday SS, and see if we can get any takers for Dansby. Sign a guy like McCutchen for the OF and suddenly, our lineup looks like this:
LF Acuna 2B Albies 1B Freeman 3B Donaldson RF McCutchen SS Camargo CF Inciarte C McCann / Flowers
If we get the Inciarte from 2017 and the 2nd half of 2018, that's a really good lineup 1-8. Throw Dansby in there and honestly, it weakens it. As much as Camargo's versatility would help our bench, I really wonder if this is the direction AA needs to go.

Obviously I like that idea. It would be true we’d be selling low on Dansby, but I’m not very confident he’s going to turn anything around at this point. If he hits .200 for the first half of the season we’d end up selling even lower on him down the road.

Well that would be a really stupid idea. Unless JD agree to turn it down if he sucks or is injured this year.

The only way he turns it down is if he puts up an insanely high war and I don’t see how JD would agree to turn it down if he sucks, but I can see why AA would agree to that deal. Dude showed no effects from his injury when he played for the Indians. He was REALLY good for them. If the Braves get that production, a QO is a no brainer.

Sixteen games were enough to prove he's going to be healthy for two years and bet $41M on it?
Not in my book.
No brains would be a good way to describe that.

Put Austin Riley right next to JD in spring training.

Love when a plan comes together. Have you guys learned that a one year deal for a recent superstar is worth the risk? No matter if he played 1st base, if a guy of his talent level will sign for a year you figure it out. Please argue with me against how valuable this guy has been hitting in the 4 spot. Or are you guys learning how to build a team in this day and age?

Or are you guys learning how to build a team in this day and age? He became Badhaircut to me because of his slow start, but it's become a term of endearment. I mean, the guy does have a horrible haircut, after all. I never liked the guy because I thought he was too cocky, but after watching him, I've grown to like him. He's a little cocky, but not really in a bad way. That exchange with the Mets fan yesterday was classic, BTW.

I would like to see JD back for at least one year cause from what we have seen Riley could use more seasoning - he was lost before the injury and his OBP stinks, he does not have the strike zone recognition that JD has, Riley belongs in the minors

He wanted a one year prove it deal. He proved it, why would he not seek a 3 year deal? We got what we wanted from the man and now those funds are allocated to MM and likely another starter.

Ain't nobody giving him a 3-year deal. IMO. I'd say 2/40 is about right. Doubt he'll be a Brave next year in any case. I expect Riley to be our opening day 3rd baseman next year.

I would love to see him back at 2/40, Riley is highly questionable at this time Riley got over-matched once he got figured out, not sure if he will ever have the plate discipline and pitch recognition How many yrs is it going to take for Riley to get to the level JD is, if ever. He (Riley) looks like a flash in the pan and this is a win now team and they have the money to sign JD to a two yr deal, I dont blame them for not going for 300 10 yr deals but short term deals for good vets they have it Riley stinks, he looks like a bad MLB player now and he has been hurt, maybe another yr in AAA would do him good

Braves won't offer him 2/40, IMO. Can't really blame them if they don't. That would be his age 34 and age 35 seasons. Decline can be steep and sudden at that age, and with the salary he'd command, it's pretty risky.

Maybe not, I am not comfortable with just giving Riley the job but guess he will be turned loose next yr We have to hope he improves and can develop strike zone and pitch recognition.
