Successes Kyle Wright – The 2017 first round pick has earned a spot in the rotation earlier than most had envisioned. He’s a good bet to at least be a serviceable 4th/5th starter this year, but he could surprise some...

A lot has been made of what the Braves did not do with the rotation, whether it was landing a front of the rotation starter or even re-signing Anibal Sanchez, the Braves return lots of starting pitching from last year’s...

The days are short and my workload is long, so just for the sake of variety, here’s a new thread. But, yes on Kimbrel, no on Keuchel, in one man’s opinion. Kimbrel probably signs a shorter-term deal than already...

With the Braves doing, frankly, very little this offseason, and the other 3 NL East contenders making wholesale changes to their roster, I decided to take a different approach to projecting each team. Instead of doing overall...

Let me first say that it’s not my money, and if you’re asking me just simply as a fan of the Atlanta Braves whether or not I want Craig Kimbrel to play on my team, then of course I do. That’s not what this is about. If I...

I couldn’t convert the video to a size small enough for WordPress so I had to tweet it: My statement regarding the day’s baseball events: pic.twitter.com/o2NCHSOl2t — Rob C (@BravesGators) March 1, 2019 I’m not...

(Earlier version of this had each player missing one year of pre-arb control. It’s been updated with extensions reflecting that&n...

5) Strategic modernity – Johan Camargo putting the “super” in “super-sub.” The prospect of shredding opposing lineups with a ‘pen loaded with talented prospects. It’ll be nice to see the...

How do you pick 5? There were so many. See the honorable mentions: -Charlie Culberson’s walk-off home run against the Mets -Charlie Culberson crashing into the stands to make a great catch -Freddie Freeman’s go-ahead...

I continue to believe that Johan Camargo will not be a starting outfielder for the Braves for the bulk of the year. I think they really like Camargo as insurance policy for 2B, 3B, SS, and the OF while also still getting a lot...

Editor’s note: This is brought to us by Adam R. Look, people, it’s called the offseason for a reason. It’s not here for our entertainment, though traditional and social media outlets have successfully...

I think if you’re looking at the Harold Baines induction as any sort of resetting of the Hall of Fame standard, then the Keltner is pretty much useless. The structure of the questions the Keltner asks is a good guide, but...

The Freeman post was getting long in the tooth. Washington traded Tanner Roark to the Reds for a prospect. He was arguably their 4th starter. You’d have to think Washington is trying to upgrade a spot in the rotation....

So far, the Braves have signed Josh Donaldson and Brian McCann on major league deals, they’ve tendered contracts to their entire 40-man, designated for assignment and subsequently traded Adam McCreery and Ricardo Sanchez, and...
