Default Re: **Atlanta Braves offseason thread

Vyse, what is wrong with you? You dismiss his limited number of mlb at bats because of the small sample size. Guess what, the Braves scouts obviously saw something in his limited time that made them feel comfortable enough to trade away their long relief man for him. Do you think they just did that because they wanted a career minor league scrub?? I doubt it. Is it because they are cutting payroll?? Well we know that isn't true because their president said they would add "many million more".

So there are two possibilities using your logic: 1) You think Frank Wren and the scouts are complete morons for making this deal. 2) You think that Wren wants to destroy the franchise. OK, fair enough.

One more thing. How can you not understand that Wren made the move as an insurance policy in case they do not sign a CF'er? The Braves WILL NOT spend 8-10 million more on a player like Mike Cameron who may only start half the year if they feel that Jordan Schafer will be ready to start midseason a la Jeff Francouer, Brian McCann, Yunel Escobar, etc. Oh wait, you didn't know that. You decided to come in and bitch up a thread calling people out for their lack of knowledge and punishing them for it when you don't know a damn thing about the Braves. You are a troll. Stop posting in this thread.
