Braves will finish sweeping the Padres here shortly, they almost look like a league-average team of late.

The Braves beat writer and announcing team both said the day Puig went on waivers that Coppolella just laughed when they asked about a possible Braves claim. I.E. the Braves are rebuilding OK but still have loving stupid ideas about team building that will probably doom them in the end.

Looks more and more like the Braves will be winning the Tim Tebow Sweepstakes. He'll get some instructional league time in and then might get shipped out to winter ball, possibly in Venezuela. Then maybe to the AA team in Mississippi so he's not blocking any actual worthwhile players at the lower levels while they wait for him to crash out or get bored and go home.

When the Braves inquired about getting Brian McCann back, the Yankees asked for Inciarte and Folty.

KICK BAMA KICK posted:Ozzie Albies has a fractured elbow, won't do baseball stuff until January. Doesn't involve the ligaments so won't need TJS as feared. Could still be on track for spring training 2017 if all goes well. That's a relief. Shame he'll miss fall league but could have been much worse. Would be a little surprised if he ends up on the opening day roster at this point, but he'll be up there soon enough. Plus he doesn't even turn 20 till January, no need to rush.

Freeman hit the 30-homer mark tonight and is having by far his best offensive season despite playing a month or so of it with a cracked rib. The Braves offense has actually been really good for a month or more now, it's just masked by the collapse of the pitching staff.

KICK BAMA KICK posted:You worried about the long-term returns on all the young arms we acquired yet? Folty's about the only one comfortable in the big leagues; Blair, Wisler and Jenkins keep getting chased out of the park. I think I heard Lucas Sims wasn't doing too hot either. Nope.

Or, I guess to clarify: the whole reason to stockpile arms is you don't know which ones will make it, but it only takes two or three to set up your rotation for years. All we've seen so far is the first wave, there's so much more coming through; even if Wisler and Blair don't get sorted out (and Jenkins seemed destined for spot-start/long relief from pretty early on) then there's a lot more where that came from, plus one more draft coming up to stockpile. Rotation next year will be Teheran, Folty, and a collection of warm bodies and rookie spot starts, and that's still way better than what they started 2016 with. Give 'em time.

chilihead posted:Trea Turner goes deep twice today. Someone please explain how the Padres,Nationals, Rays make a 3 team trade and the Nats get the best player? In 11 games against the Braves, he's got 4 homers, 6 steals, and he's OPSing 1.300. Fairly certain that's going to continue for the next decade or so.

Honestly, I've enjoyed this Braves season more than any in a long time, just because there was never any question of competing. The team got rid of Fredi, jettisoned almost all the franchise's dead wood, and look like being solidly mediocre next year and probably pretty good by 2018. This Mets series will be hilarious for a long time though.

tadashi posted:I love how they have everyone lulled into believing Adonis Garcia is a building block for the team. He'll be 32 next April and has a 95 OPS+ this season. That'd ok if he played a great 2nd base. They'll trade him this winter if possible but it probably won't be. Most likely is he platoons with Rio Ruiz next year, which might actually be OK. Regardless, just keeping warm for Kevin Maitan or whoever else down the line.

Braves win again, calling into ever increasing doubt their tanking commitment. It is going to be hilarious though when they hold on to Collmenter and he absolutely shits the bed next April. edit: also if fat Kemp is this good, I'm really looking forward to seeing what he can do if he actually hits the gym this offseason. elentar fucked around with this message at 06:20 on Sep 23, 2016 |

NL MVP is pretty much Bryant's, right? That seems right by stats as well as the "best hitter on the best team" test. Hoping Freeman at least gets votes for 4th or 5th though, after the second half he's had. Probably not given "best hitter on the worst team" doesn't sell as well.

The Twins have locked up the #1 pick. Gotta tip my cap to them; really didn't think anyone was going to catch the Braves this year but while Atlanta was gradually improving, the Twins showed a dedication to sucking that went above and beyond. Kudos guys.
