Too bad about Viz, kid just could not be healthy - was not bad at times but who knows about his future
As for in house, can't see it right now, had hope for AJ Minter and maybe even Soboka, all they do is struggle and have problems
Don't see a home town reunion with Kimbrel, so have to hope a decent closer can be found in this draft or maybe there is someone in the system that comes out of nowhere
The maligned Luke Jackson has done better than Biddle, Carle, AJ, Soboka, etc
Does not look good - Minter is a big time disappointment - when does he get into Snit's doghouse how much more can Snit and the coaching staff take from this scrub

Buy Kimbrel. Package Ender ++ for Smith and Watson. Problems solved. See? That was easy.

It would make us too much of a candidate to win now and we are more about winning in the future. I'm just curious. Does AA understand baseball at all? I mean, does he understand that when you trade a player that you get a player back in return, and you don't just lose your player? Also, does he have a grasp of the pay scale in major league baseball? I assume he doesn't think this is like shopping at discount stores to save money. Just curious. |

At some point Alex is going to have to invest in a real bullpen, and I mean a real pen with guys who know what the hell they are doing
Enough of other organizations rejects like Jesse Biddle and Shane Carle (to save money) and get some real MLB guys in here
Now, I can understand developing some of your own like AJ (frustrating as it is to watch him sometimes) but in an era when relievers are expected to get 9 and even 12 outs this day in time, the pen is where the buck stops - you cannot win without it
Why do you think these relievers are getting some of the money they are making - the Braves FO is going to have to get out of the 20th century and do a real investment in the pen

Well, we should be about winning now, its not like the front line talent is not there at all Strong lineup, decent but not great SP, good defense but that pen is what is keeping them from winning big. Pen has cost them this yr, would have 11 or 12 W instead of the 9-8 start they have, not bad but come on, they got the battery, the new park, extended the two big cornerstones, so dam it at least try to win now I do not see them getting Kimbrel though cause they are too GD cheap - why do we have the pen we have -they are cheap |

Sounds like they just are not your type of squad. Once again I invite you to join the Phillies bandwagon where you belong.

Its a losing squad, plain and simple with guys who have no business in MLB like Carle and Biddle Its too bad these scrub wannabees are bringing down some of the class players on this team that have ability who deserve more I would love to see someone in the club house take some of these scrubs publicly to task, that is how you get better and if it means getting rid of some of this rif raf so be it |

Getting rid of the rif-raf does sound enticing but there is nothing to be gained by having management or teammates call them out in public. I know
you've never managed people and that is a probably a good thing because you would be a terrible leader.

Once I heard Chip say the D-Backs signed Holland for $3M, I got really frustrated with AA.
I'm not talking about Kimbrel per-se, but in an offseason where guys went for incredibly good value deals ... How did we not improve the bullpen at all.

I can't stand to look at that guy anymore. All we really needed to do was improve the bullpen, and that could have been done at a fairly low cost. When he didn't do that, he lost me. What a pathetic waste of an offseason. |

I know you've never managed people and that is a probably a good thing because you would be a terrible leader. You do not know if I have ever managed people or not, you do not know me - I did not have patience with the same mistakes over and over again who does. But sticking to baseball, hey, this is not how I was in the real world of work , baseball is the unreal fantasy land that has nothing to do with how I live in real life I live and die with my favorite teams winning -- losing is a torture, got to admit I wake up the next day much happier the day after a win I LOVE to win & HATE losing when its a loss that is so preventable. And this series was preventable - it was on the pen cause our guys are not good enough I miss the Dick Williams, Billy Martin and Leo Durochers of the world, that was the day when leaders had personality, expected accountability and would not put up with it - its a generation that is long gone |

What a pathetic waste of an offseason. And its not unreasonable to think that there was some money there - like 3-5 mil left over to get guys AA gambled on Biddle, Carle, etc and to date he has lost on that one. Jim Johnson would be a better option that what is out there now crazy as it seems |
