If we sign Castellanos what happens to Pache or Waters? At this point I would just play for 2021 WS and sign a veteran with some power to a 1 yr deal Move Ender and Duvall when one or both of them are ready. Castellanos is the bat we need behind Freeman, so you make it work. IMO |

Alright, if the Braves get Castellanos, none of you are allowed to complain about his defense. That ^^ |

We are so obsessed with having a big bat it’s becoming counter productive. I want Happ’s contract and a prospect worth moving in a Marte package. Really wish Grandal was signed with our slew of early moves. The market is out of control right when we are in the middle of a competitive run. If he had waited I have no doubt he would command more money right now. Good on AA jumping guys early and likely saving some money. |

Nick was a -8.5 so it looks like we'd be getting an upgrade on defense. And a year ago it was -12.3. I’m just saying, if you’re gonna argue for a player who you know isn’t good defensively, then you can’t complain when he isn’t good defensively. That’s all I’m saying. I’m gonna argue for JD cause I know he’s good both offensively and defensively. If he costs more money, so be it. |

We need to start a new tread to keep track of all the things people can't complain about anymore.

I don't complain about injuries anyways. You can't control that. Acuna could get injured day 1 and be out for the whole year. I suppose you can't complain about Castellanos poor play either then. At least I'll have the defense. |

JD had a 2.1 UZR/150 in 2019, so good luck with the defense not regressing even more as he ages...and remember you can't complain if his defense does slip. |

It's also worth noting that given his age, Castellanos should maintain good trade value should the need arise to move someone in the event that Pache and/or Waters earns a regular job.

I have some degree of trust that AA has and is looking at all options
on the table.
I don't really think I would be better at GMing than he is, so until he proves himself to be a moron, I sort of trust he's doing due diligence and making the best moves he can.
I said a lot about Frank Wren when he was here, but that was because I had a fundamental team building philosophy difference in how our organization should be team building... his wasn't working. He had also made some proven errors in judgement with players.
I haven't reached that point with AA, so I give him the benefit of the doubt.

Can’t believe Jose Martinez got liberatore. He didn’t. That other OFer that starts with an A that the Cardinals gave up has a really high ceiling. Black guy named Randy, can’t think of his last name. |
