    I have a feeling we can get Moose for absolutely nothing. I'd be curious about getting Senzel and Moose together in package. I also don't think Chapman will cost us all that much. I don't love the idea of adding him and Schwarber, who both strike out over 27% of the time - but it's still a plausible option. I also wonder where the Moreno to 3rd base sits and if that's a real possibility.

    Call me crazy, but I think I'd rather have Schwarber for 4 years $60M than Freeman for 6 years $180M. We would get Schwarber's prime years and I think think there's a solid chance that Schwarber's bat (wRC+) is better than Freeman's over the next 4 years. I think Freeman's wRC+ is closer to the 135 range it was in 2018, 2019 and 2021 than the 186 it was in the shortened 2020. I think Schwarber is a lot closer to a 140 wRC+ hitter now that pitchers can't use spider tack and will further benefit from the shift rules (if implemented). Schwarber is much more likely to be OK with DH'ing and he can play (poorly) in the outfield or at 1st if we need to give Springer or Vlad the day off - or get Kirk some at bats at DH. Sign Schwarber and spend the rest of the money elsewhere.

    What type of deal do we think Schwarber is going to get? I'm starting to prepare myself for someone other than Freeman. 3 years $40M?

    Is Price finished? Is he even going to get the opportunity to start at the MLB level again?
  5. Brownie19
    David Price too. You'd think the 4 seam, slider, change/split combination would be a solid arsenal. I'm not sure he needs a 4th pitch - although it appears he never throws the change/split v. LHB

    I have 3 kids and I'm a much bigger ******* now than ever before!

    It's pretty scary that Pete would have to tell Kikuchi that himself.

    This is a horrible take by Tim & Friends. That's a Valle training glove (it's probably like an 8 or 9" glove) and he's doing isolated infielders work with it. This isn't scooping a ball at first either. I do the same drill with my 3 boys who are all under 11.
  9. Brownie19
    Someone should show Kikuchi and Jansen the numbers on his cutter - because they are f***ing horrible. Perhaps he's comfortable giving up HRs?
  10. Brownie19
    This. Please for the love of god, don't liter this board with politics.

    Rich Gossage is a f***ing **** - let's not develop more people like him please. Thanks. And man would we see the offense go through the roof if we went with your suggestion. It would be the steriod era all over again (and maybe that's good!)
  12. Brownie19
    Exactly - how does one leave that out? The Braves now get Olson's age 30-35 years instead of Freeman's age 32-37 years. Then again - Freeman has a better track record.
  13. Brownie19
    Do we think teams might target players who get 'hurt' by the shift now in anticipation that they'll be 'worth more' if/when the shift restrictions are implemented? Could Schwarber be one of those players?
  14. Brownie19
    I feel the same - although I'd add to it by saying I'd be happy if we sign Freeman and just as happy if we don't - PROVIDED we do add another impact player (Schwarber on a short term deal, Ketel Marte, etc.)
  15. Brownie19
    I don't see the log jam as long as Vlad is passable at 3rd. Freeman and Vlad split 1st/DH for 100 games with Espinal at 3rd with Kirk catching 60 of those games Vlad plays 3rd for 60 games, Freeman at 1st with Kirk/Springer at DH for those games. Espinal comes in late in games we're winning. That should give Kirk 90 'starts' and Springer 30 games at DH to rest.
  16. Brownie19
    Yeah that's all fair. I don't really enjoy them as a fan myself unless it ends in the 10th, maybe the 11th - but I typically have young kids with me.
  17. Brownie19
    Who are the Braves going to pencil in at DH now? Re-sign Solar?
  18. Brownie19
    Dude. 148 wRC+ with zero bat speed is kind of legendary. Career 132 wRC+.
  19. Brownie19
    Grant - would you have said the same thing about eliminating the takeout slide too? I think that was one of the best improvements made in my lifetime. I'd be interested to know why the players just hate long extra inning games. I can't imagine they find them boring. Higher risk of injury? Throws off their schedules (planes, buses, rest time, etc.)? Is it because they don't get paid more to play more (which sounds like something a union would complain about)?

    8th best hitter in MLB since the start of the 2020 season. Legit beast.
  21. Brownie19
    who the f*** is this guy? I'm getting a chub!
  22. Brownie19
    Incredible stuff here from Ken - I was convinced that adding another player in return would make Cinny's return even shittier...
  23. Brownie19
    what would the equivalent prospects have been for the Jays to get Winker/Suarez?
  24. Brownie19
    Wasn't Carlos Baerga the first to break a couple of big moves? or am I mis-remembering because I find it odd that Carlos Baerga is reporting anything
  25. Brownie19
    To be fair - this was exactly the type of deal we were discussing for the Jays - it would include one of their starters with either Suarez or Moose to cover 3rd base. We eat contract and give up a f*** ton less in the process. After getting Kikuchi, this Winker/Suarez deal would have been a near perfect fit for the Jays. Too bad!
