Wouldn't mind getting Gomez. Although I can't stand him now, I think I'd come around to him with an A on his hat haha

Desperately need an OF bat and some OF prospects. We're still terribly thin with bats in general, but especially OF bats, in our farm system. The rankings are a little inflated because of our ridiculous amount of pitching prospects.
I don't even know who will be on the free agent market this season, other than J-Hey. And I don't see us bringing him back. He's got a good glove, but he's not the kind of impact bat we need. Still wish we had tried to find a way to keep J-Up.
Rumors of a Callapso and Juan Uribe trade. Certainly we'd have to give more than just Callapso, wouldn't we?
Strange trade. Uribe has a nice glove, but he's right handed. We have CJ and Gosselin at 3b... Both rhQuote:

To the Dodgers?! He'd be stupid to reject that unless the trade involves another guy and the Dodgers plan to dfa callaspoQuote:

Supposedly callaspo denied trade. Oh well, he'll be cut by Thursday most likely when CJ returns

@DOBrienAJC
6-player deal likely done, #Braves sending Callaspo and 3 others, none impact-type players, to Dodgers and getting a minor leaguer and Uribe

Again, as reported previously, #Dodgers getting major-league pitching in deal. Would expect that Cahill and/or Stults is involved.
Word is that Atlanta may be getting either Zach Lee or Chris Anderson in the deal. If that is the case, then holy smokes!!! John Hart worked a freaking miracle on this deal.
Good. Maybe he can take Teheran's rotation spot. Julio starting to look like Hanson and jurgensQuote:

I'm not going to jump to those conclusions yet. Tehran always had better stuff and better mechanics than either of those two. Something is amiss though. There is an injury no one knows about, IMO.Quote:

He rocked all thru ST and it has continued into the season. I'm telling you it's time to sell
This happened at AAA a few years ago when they tinkered with his mechanics.
Then they need to quit tinkering. I know I overreact, but I expect much better from Teheran. I really hope Teheran makes me look like a fool the rest of the year.Quote:

The #Braves won't get Zach Lee or Chris Anderson if the deal with the Dodgers is approved

Shit happens in this sport. Just gotta ride it out and hope Teheran figures it out. And I'm betting he will eventually.Quote:
