rumor is we're looking for a big bat in left field ( Jason Bay, or Matt Holliday )
we're letting go both soriano and gonzalez. Shopping around Lowe/Vazquez/Kawakami, and i think we arent going to resign Laroche to a long term deal cause Freddy Freeman is coming up in the minors.
I WOULD LOVE FOR US TO HAVE HOLLIDAY
and i agree, i'd rather us lose Lowe AND Kawakami then to lose VazquezOriginally Posted by FlipKing
I dont know that they will throw up enough cash for Holliday or Bay....
97 DX Civic w/ H22 FS
thats why we're trying to unload our pitchers
We'd have to unload lowe, who didnt perform that well and has a large contract.

Braves are considering resigning Vasquez to a 3-4 year deal.
97 DX Civic w/ H22 FS
we should def keep vasquez imo. anderson filed for free agency goin to the al to be a dh. i agree we need a bat out there cuz he was subpar at best last year dropping to like 250 after having like two 300 years before with the angels. they are trying right now to finalize the deal with hudson for 2 or 3 more years
Yeah, I think bay or holliday will be too expensive though

dont kill the dream for me!
Yankees and Angels are talking about bidding. Just sayin...lol
97 DX Civic w/ H22 FS
yankees bid on everything and everyone.
And they usually get on which they bid. lol

From what I've heard, Vazquez is the only one with any real trade appeal for other teams. We overpaid Kawakami and Lowe, so unless we are willing to eat some of there contract, doubt any teams would be willing to trade for them. I hope they get Laroche back for 1 more season atleast, dont think Freeman is near ready yet.
the braves are stupid if they did pick up one of them they would trade them mid season anyway
Lsu tigers going # 1 again
exactly, we're running for a playoff season, its bobby cox and chippers last season, this is what most teams do. get a big name player and if we dont have playoff chances trade for prospects
Its not chipper's last season, he's signed through 2011 with options for 2012, but he'll retire if he poops out again this year. Ideal situation would be to trade lowe for power but I'd take anything for him because we would clear 15 mil from the books, and would allow us to sign LaRoche for 2-3 years at 8-10 mil. Keep in mind we have the top prospect in all of baseball with true super star talent in Jason Heyward for the OF.

They are now discussing trading Vasquez to Texas for their OF

That was expected, now just to see who is odd man out. I def want to keep Hanson and J.J. long term.
97 DX Civic w/ H22 FS
I don't think they have any intentions to move Hanson or Jurjens, Vasquez is obviously a different story. I just want to see us get some bigger bats in the lineup. Let Anderson's garbage ass go, and although I like Laroche a lot, if letting him go means we get more power, then so be it.
I'd like to resign Laroche AND trade maybe Vasquez for Uggla?
97 DX Civic w/ H22 FS
Or Reynolds(arizona), Lind or Hill(Toronto)
97 DX Civic w/ H22 FS
thats a no doubter, we;re not letting them go
Idk, thats going to involve coughing up a TON of cash,lol
97 DX Civic w/ H22 FS
well...jason bay is out of the equation for the braves because he just re-signed with the greatest team in the land. as for the braves, they need to do something in the off-season because their pitching did not perform this year like they had expected...they would be stupid to unload vazquez and not lowe, don't get me wrong, i love derek lowe but he just isn't playing good. i good trade for the braves is to get rid of lowe and pick up either a outfielder or replace some of those shitty infielders that are out there. either way the braves will be rebuilding the next couple of years and i doubt a championship is in the question.
NO ***NWS*** SIGS
Hmm, didnt perform how they expected? We had some of the best pitching in the league.....
Shitty infielders? Escobar is a great SS. Prado is decent defensively and a very good hitter. Chipper is over the hill, but still better than most starting 3rd basemen. All comes down to 1st. Laroche is good and we have a very good prospect coming up. Outfield is our need.
97 DX Civic w/ H22 FS
outfield is def in need of help. but the bullpen is way to inconsistent and that lost the braves too many games. don't get me wrong, escobar is a good infielder but the braves need to bring some bats in that can also play the field just as good if not better. there are many things that need to happen over the off-season if they want to compete with the fish and the mets because right now they are looking at another disappointing season.
NO ***NWS*** SIGS
More closer than anything. Soriano blew a few games as far as bullpen. And Heyward will be up in RF this next season. Put Diaz in LF and Mclouth in center and Resign laroche and I think we'd be fine honestly
97 DX Civic w/ H22 FS
well we're letting go soriano and gonzalez, so we need a closer.
our infields fine and we need a LF/RF and rumor is we're after another japanese 36 year old pitcher
Like I said, maybe a RF until Heyward is ready. and yeah a closer
