Braves Trade Kimbrel & Melvin Upton to Padres

[price499]

Who is playing outfield for the Braves this year other than Markakis? I honestly have no clue who is going to be consistently out there. Eric Young Jr.? Meh.

 

Maybin?

[John Anthony]

I wonder how are Markakis is feeling about signing that contract

 

With his bad neck he took what he could get.

Maybin?

 

Johnny Gomes, Maybin, EYJ, Markakis, Almonte...

Rf- Markakis

Cf- Maybin with EYJR getting some time

LF- A platoon of Gomes and Kelly Johnson

 

Outside of Freeman and Markakis they really have no bats that will scare the opposition. Chris Johnson and Simmons are the next best hitters.

 

I think I heard they have 4 rookies on their roster and 14 players that have never worn a Braves uniform.

 

One spot that doesn't look too bad is the starting pitching with Cahill, Miller, Teheran, Stultz and Wood.

Think we could unload Bruce/Votto/Phillips on them? :popcorn:

[BaseballIsLife]

Johnny Gomes, Maybin, EYJ, Markakis, Almonte...

 

Whatever happened to Terdoslavich?

[halfback20]

2-0!

[halfback20]

3-0....

 

Braves with the sweep in Miami.

[DragonFire]

Beginning to wonder if it says more about Miami than Atlanta. Weren't the Marlins considered something of a contender for the wild card?

 

Glad the Braves have had a nice start. Maybe they can avoid being historically bad like I feared they might.

Their pitching is looking good.

Braves are 4-0. Teheran pitching against the Mets tonight

[DragonFire]

There is something ironic about how none of us thought they'd ever need a closer and they've had three save chances already.

[halfback20]

5-0.

 

I still don't think the Braves will be all that good this year, but it's been a fun start.
