Agreed. We still need a good bat in there and it now has to be a 1B or 3B. Or else your trading Dejong(which would be stupid). Wong(selling ridiculious low), trying to get Fowler to accept a trade. None of those options work.
Gyrko needs to be the super sub and start upon injury player. You move Carp to 3B if you get a 1B. Its obvious we need a MOTO bat that can play 3B. If we can somehow, someway get Machado here and he wants to play SS, we can slide Dejong to 3B. |

Yeah I saw something on mlb tv about that, they mentioned that ATL should send him to STL. Probably get the cards to pay his salary and there wouldnt even need to be any players swapped. We got the money to lose in case he flops.
Dont know if he has anything left in the tank but basically the low bar is that he has to be better than Gyrko. |

Show me who is available who put up better numbers or isn’t a one year rental.
Your Pham hate is duly noted, it’s just not supported by the numbers. He may not reproduce those numbers from last year. He could also improve them. |

You can sign him for league minimum and Atlanta is on the hook for the rest. Still dont think he's worth the spot on the 40 man roster but if you could get a bounce back year from him would be a cheap signing. |

Hosmer? Gonzalez? Neither would likely better Jedd’s numbers, plus cost you obscenely more money. Now if you want to make a play for a Freddie Freeman at 1B then you’ve got an upgrade worthy of moving Carp back to 3B. |

Do you suppose the uptick in Jedd’s numbers might slightly be more reliable to hold at age 28 than a return to glory for Adrian Gonzalez at...what is he now 108?

Acquiring Longoria to make Gyorko a super sub is pointless. Gyorko is fairly cheaply and plays really, really, really well offensively and defensively. Wong also did what people have been expecting him to do since he was drafted last year (minus the power). |

JD, I thought you guys had plenty of money? Don't you also have a billion $ cable contract in place?

They were pushing hard for Cobb, but apparently a guy that is always injured and has a career high of 179.1 innings thinks he is worth 20+ million a year. |
