Shitty sports day for me

-2 of our best 5 pitchers are officially out for the year, including one of the best I've ever seen take the mound for us
-Freddie Freeman is no longer an Atlanta Brave
-Scott Hall (Razor Ramon) passed away. Loved watching him growing up.

Pretty crappy Monday lol.

Right there with ya man. I was at Hall's "invasion" of WCW Nitro at the Macon (GA) Coliseum in '96. That man was possibly the best heel ever.

I'm gonna miss FF, but I'm really excited about Olson.

AA just said they decided to move on from FF last night referencing Acuna being out till late May, so I expect an OF soon

With the money we've saved by not signing FF, we can get an OF and pitching help.

Wonder if they'll look at bringing Soler back now?

At face value, the trade is solid. I just hate losing FF. Like Chipper & Murph the guy just "is" the Braves. That's not common anymore and I didn't want it to end like this.

Soler or what about Rosario. I don't think Rosario is signed with anyone yet. Anyone know his status?

Michael Conforto is another corner OF out there.

Thanks I forgot about Conforto. With all the lockout stuff I've lost track of all the free agents.

Could be worse. Like the Cardinals replacing Albert Pujols with Allen Craig. At least the Braves GM has a sack.

Rumor is Conforto. Soler is also in contact with the Braves and he wants to return to Atlanta too.

I would love for Soler to comeback. It's fun watching that dude swing it even when he strikes out. He doesn't get cheated and he's got serious bat speed and exit velo.

I agree. I actually prefer Soler to Conforto, but we shall see what AA does. I would still like to add another SP.

Very RH with soler, and we have 2 DH (soler and ozuna). Soler and ozuna both hit RHP, so maybe it works. Our OF could be a disaster for a few months though... Duvall in cf with ozuna and soler on each side

I believe he said Acuna won't play the OF until late May. Guess that means he could DH a little earlier than that.

Gonna need a true CF. They don't won't Acuna playing there after the ACL tear, and Duvall ain't gonna cut it full time. I think this was part of the reason they dealt Pache, they knew he wasn't ready yet so they'd have to sign somebody, making him superfluous.

Guys, we are not facing their best pitchers. They used them in Tuscaloosa. This guy now pitched this weekend , but for the most part, we are facing the end of their Bull on bench and ain?t hitting doodie!!!
