5-0 vs. the Mets this season
Not anymore. AA has found him another treasure off the AAA junk heap to insert for an automatic every 5th start loss. Can?t wait til we give Dodd and someone else a turn!!Quote:

This is going to sound bad but I kinda wanted MH2 to miss a game or two after getting hit by that pitch just to give him a reset of sorts.Quote:

The problem is there's no option. I really believe if kelenic weren't hitting just as bad in AAA, he'd be up right now with Harris down.Quote:

I'd prefer trade Murphy for a good package of whatever, and take on Correa. Lots of money comes off the books next season. He's signed for 3 more seasons, and that's basically our windowQuote:

I'm not sure how to relate that much value to a prospect, but I'd think you'd roughly take total value for 5 years. That comes out to less than 1 WAR value. That's a bench bat or reliever, not a quality player.
Baldwin probably has $100 or $150M in surplus value.
His name is carlos rodriguez currently in Gwinett. He hutting over 300. He is a marteen prado clone. Always gets a hit with RISP. He was in Biloxi but the braves signed him to the office 40 man roster. He had a dam good spring training.Quote:

Continuing to trot out albies, ozuna, and harris everyday along with Olsen and Riley’s terrible approaches right now and the starters that will be goin should add up to “everything they can”Quote:
