    The Braves are meeting with John Lester on Thursday. They cleared $11 million in salary space with the Heyward/Walden trade, and they may be able to clear enough to get into the bidding for Lester if they move Justin Upton over the next couple of days.

    John Lester
    Julio Teheran
    Alex Wood
    Shelby Miller
    Mike Minor

    That's a hell of a pitching staff.

    Awesome. Will we have an outfield though?

    We'll find another bum to go with BJ & El Oso Blanco. With that pitching staff, we wouldn't need to score a whole lot of runs. It's not like hitters thrive in Atlanta anyway, so why wast money on one?
    It's the roller coaster of hope that this program keeps us on that makes it hell being a State fan. - CadaverDawg, 10/15/22

    Will the new park be more hitter friendly?

    I still think BJ will be moved as well. It will be interesting to see how they fill out the outfield. You can pretty much pencil Gattis in to left field unless they have to use him to get rid of someone like Chris Johnson. Gattis is 27, but they still have 4 years of control on his contract.

    Jim Bowden is saying the Cardinals are after Lester too. We have the payroll flexibility to do that since Lackey is going to get 500K next year.

    I'll be a lot happier about moving Miller for Heyward if they can lock up Lester to go along with Wainwright, Lynn, Wacha, and Lackey. That will allow them to keep Carlos Martinez and Marco Gonzalez in the bullpen along with Walden and Rosenthal. I wouldn't be shocked if they end up bringing Motte back despite the rumors that they are going to let him walk too.
