MLB should just come up with a new list that teams can put players on. Call it the “I suck too much to be kept on my team’s roster right now” list. Each team can have 2 players on there at any given time. Each player must serve a minimum of 14 days there. A time out for bad performance. Instead of making up silly injuries and putting guys on the DL.

would anyone be opposed to the braves right now trading Ender and Swanson or simply sending Swanson down and benching Ender? and going ahead and give Reed a starting Job to see if he is for real. which I kinda think he may be. He could save us from wasting money on an FA OF in the offseason. Also go ahead and let Riley replace Swanson on the Roster. He can be no worse than Swanson but could be much better seems we have nothing to Lose. at this point, BJ Upton is as valuable a hitter as Swanson and Ender. I never thought I would be so down on Ender but I can't get over a guy begging for hits who doesn't run hard everytime he puts the ball in play.

, BJ Upton is as valuable a hitter as Swanson and Ender. Even as non-productive as Ender and Dansby have been with the bat, I wouldn't mention them as the same value as BJ Upton. BJ was a "cancer" not just to the players, but the entire organization. He was even a hemorrhoid to the umpires. It is pretty bad when a viewing fan is hoping that the umpire ejects BJ for smart mouthing the calls or for any other reason. |

It MIGHT be OK if we were completely out of contention (not really, but I'll humor you), but we're not. Besides, Ender and Dansby are still positive WAR players. Hell, Matt Kemp is having the best year he's had in forever, and Dansby still has a higher WAR. This is just off the reservation, man. |

"With his future in question, Hamels has struggled recently, going 1-2 with a 9.53 ERA and a 1.88 WHIP over his last four starts. He's 5-8 with a 4.36 ERA and a 9.0 K/9 rate in 19 starts overall this season."
And what are we going to part with to add this? This guy was equally as bad last year. Stick a fork in him.

This is just off the reservation, man. you can't compare war from 2 different positions.and war is very flawed. but hey come to the end of the season we will see where they both fall in MVP voting. I'll bet Kemp has a much higher vote total. and I'll say Kemps wrc+ will almost double Swansons Almost. But I am not comparing Kemp to Swanson I am saying Camargo or Albies would be a better option At Short. myself I'd like to see us trade for Dozier and moves Albies to Short |

Then DFA Hamels!

I actually wouldn't be against that. Hmmm..... It would also free up a roster spot so we could bring Danny Santana back.
We all know it's coming. We just don't know when. It's like that nagging hemorrhoid that keeps flaring up and then going awhile for a little while.....you always know it's coming back.....some day.......and usually when it's least convenient.
