    You always hate to see injuries, but this spring has been crazy for the NL East. Are the Braves getting a division gift before the season even starts? First Diaz for the Mets and now it looks like it could be bad for Hoskins in Philly after already not having Harper for the first half.

    Granted Trea Turner and Schwarber killed the ball in the WBC but both of them can't carry the Phils by themselves.

    Please please let Olson, Riley, and Ozuna's hot starts carry into the regular season!!!

    Predicting the Angels to play a split squad during the regular season. Now that's a hot take!

    What do the Angels have to do with the Braves?

    We need to trade for a SS or LF. Your window only stays open for so long

    Other than Bryan Reynolds I don?t think there is an OF out there that?s not just a scrub like the Braves have already trotted out there already. Don?t think there is enough on the farm left to even pull somebody like Reynolds.

    They could still try and grab Grisham and Kim from the Padres. But again, probably not enough trade capitol for them either.

    LF will be fine. Lots of options there.

    I expect AA has his eye on a couple decent quality SSs that will get DFAd in the next week.

    Braves sign Arcia to extension. Ok, I don't know wtf the Braves are doing now.

    Grissom must have done something really stupid off the field.

    Nah, he got called up last year way early due to injuries. He needs more development time. I just don't get the love for Arcia.

    This extension for Arcia is peanuts. It won't prevent the braves from upgrading SS if needed

    Yeah, I agree. Taking a quick look at his stats, he is (barely) above replacement level, so he's worth a couple Mil a season. Plus, there's some chance for a breakout. He hit an OPS of 800 in Biloxi as a 20 year old, he's 28 now I think.

    Maybe they were talking extension (with the Braves intent as the backup), and he expressed a desire to have a chance to prove himself before being relegated to the bench for the rest of his career. The Braves looked at how their 2 young SSs need some development time, so struck a deal.

    On a side note, Christian Pache got traded to the Phillies. He never learned to hit in Oakland. Will platoon in limited CF duty. Much harder to learn to hit in MLB than at the lower levels, some guys do not benefit from being promoted before they are ready in all aspects.

    This is what happens when you think you know more than your coaches.
