Gattis should get a long look in ST.
In fact, he should be allowed to decide if he is ready and where he wants to play.

I guess I’m thinking that, if Hanson is good enough to keep around in 2013, then he’s probably a keeper in 2014, also. Or I could have just made a mistake, too. That’s always possible.

Doesn’t that leave the team with a boat load of cash? Span is only making $5mil next season. What are they going to spend the other $20mil on?
Extensions.
Cuz Prado and Heyward are gonna make so much more than their predicted arb numbers next year. Guess we save it for the future

GM Mike Hill, president Larry Beinfest, Miami Marlins
It is a difficult situation when you’re the general manager of a ballclub, but not really the general manager, or when you’re the president of a ballclub, but not really the president. Essentially, owner Jeffrey Loria calls the shots on all personnel decisions and managers, and Ozzie Guillen was the latest casualty. Don’t be surprised if outspoken outfielder Logan Morrison is next.
Morrison had his best year in 10 but might be worth a look in LF @ 24 years old.

Braves have up until 5 days after the WS to make a qualifying offer to Bourn, and he has up until 12 days after the WS to accept or reject it.
I don’t know for sure, but I’d think if he rejects the offer, that it is taken off the table, unless of course the team wanted to leave an open offer out to him in that amount as a free agent. Otherwise, the team would be held up in pursuing other alternatives.
So by next Friday we should know if Bourn will be back or not. I highly doubt FW gets into an extended bidding war for his services. I’d think FW would make him a multiyear offer, and Boras will reject it immediately, if not sooner.
Bourn probably won’t get signed until near the end of December or early January, if it goes the way most of Boras’ negotiations go for his top talent.
Does he have anyone bigger than Bourn this year?

I always wonder a bit why the “below his career slash line” isn’t changed to reflect what he had done prior to that year? I see this in articles all over the place so it isn’t that I’m playing “gotcha” or anything.
For instance, McCann’s career slash line now, after that season, is .279/.351/.475, but he entered that season hitting .286/.358/.486 and proceeded to hit way below that line, — TennPaul
I agree. Usually it’s done that way because it’s easier than finding a player’s stats before season began.
Glad you brought it up. I just went back into story and changed it, put in his slash line before the 2012 season. Thanks for pointing it out.

Maybe. But there aren’t many other RH bangers out there with Willingham’s friendly contract. What if the Twins say “no thanks” on that one? A war chest might allow them to target a big contract that already exists on another team, reducing the cost in trade. Just a possibility, is all.

62 games, 287 PAs.
He doesn’t do much for me. Hasn’t played more than 123 games (525 PAs), and even then didn’t hit really well. Career line of .250/.339/.442/.781 (110 OPS+ ). He has declined every year in every category. Lefty bat. Maybe if they’ll take a low prospect or utility player (Pastornicky?). Still wouldn’t start him though; not a great fit

Who needs Willingham when you’ve already got the Venezuelan League MVP coming to spring training?
I love the idea of a trade for Span. So, there’s $5mil. More if you can get them to take Hanson as part of the deal.
Put Gattis in LF, sink or swim, trade Hanson and Delgado or whoever to the Twins for Span, then use the extra cash to go get Greinke.
Win with pitching and defense (so long as they don’t hit the ball to LF) and a pretty good offense.

I wonder if they would let him struggle that much, though? I mean, if he’s going totally bust, that makes the risk of dropping Beachy back into the rotation seem light by comparison, no? Or even bringing up whoever is left at AAA after this offseason. In any event, you’re right…he trots out some sub-5 ERA two years in a row, they won’t have to worry about what to do with him.

I just picked up Brotherhood and Revelations on the cheap….good thing about those games, because they have storylines, I can wait on them for awhile and pay less….if you wait on a wrestling or sports related game, you may as well just buy the next year…
For the new Need For Speed game, I cant really wait, and its been labeled as the best in years…..so thats game #2….
So I just need to find a 3rd and I’m considering a Kinect game that will get me off the couch and keep me in shape during winter so I’m a little more prepared once my Spring Training comes around for ball next year especially considering I’ll be playing more tournament ball next year….

Don’t be kidding. That’s a pretty nice scenario. Though we could afford that pitcher you named even if we got Willingham or Upton. If we get a frontline pitcher, I doubt Maholm would stay anyway. An extra 6.5mil.

Hudson’s what in ‘14 – 39-40 years old? Unless he’d be willing to take a cut in pay, he’s in the $9-10 million range per season? I’m not sure I’d pay a guy with that much mileage that much per season, particularly with the young pitchers in the wings.
McCann would have to stay healthy and produce to merit consideration for a new, long-term deal. But I’m sure McCann would look for a five-year deal. I’m leery of locking up a catcher who has an injury history into his mid-thirties.

I’m leery of locking up any catcher into their mid 30s. The injury history just makes it worse. I’d consider letting Mac walk (and getting the draft pick), but if he can produce next year, and will take 9-11mil through his age 33 season, I could live with that.

Give BMac credit. It was obvious he was hurt, and he could have tried to shut it down earlier in the season to try and be ready for the start of spring training. But he did not want to give up on his teammates or this season, so he tried to hang in there.
Same thing last year after the AS break. He probably came back too quickly, but he thought he could help the team. He always appears to be a team first kind of guy.
Hopefully he will have a full recovery, and return to his (old) career slash line.

What team needs pitching? We need to get them involved in a 3 way for Upton.
We need our old buddy Robert (no, not that one, the other one) to cook up one of his famous eight-way trades for us.

Not bashing you at all for it….I mean I brought up bringing in Ian Kinsler for 3b…
Besides, Soriano is not the worst option I ever heard of

Haven’t tried WWE yet as I am still at work, but it got good reviews. I guess it’s the biggest roster yet with a lot of old timers. I’ll let you know tomorrow if my son gives me a chance to play otherwise I’ll ask him what he thinks, but not sure how much we can trust a 9 year old reviewer, they get frustrated easily.
I too bought all the old Assassins Creed games for cheap and have to play/finish any but the newest one interests me the most as the setting is in early America and you get to assassinate the red coats with a tomahawk. Pretty cool storyline especially for us Braves fans.

Would you deal Simmons for Upton?
I wouldn’t. Just too much potential in that kid, and not much behind him in the minors.
Besides, such a trade might cause Frank to envision a return of Alex Gonzalez.

Trade Hanson to the Twins for Span. Move Prado back to 3B and try to trade for Justin Upton or Josh Willingham to play LF.
Hanson for Span… that’s funny (from the side blog)
DS1: At it again I see! Simmons stays.

Would you deal Simmons for Upton?
And go with Janish at SS, knowing you’re going to get basically zero offensive production? No. And Pastornicky is not an option.

Alex Gonzalez IS a free agent,Frank will probably bring him in as our ‘premium” 3B.

Well, that was the only year he started consistently. His overall numbers aren’t that great (due to lack of playing time) .421/.719
I was using your numbers. Like I said, some people don’t take into consideration a young player. Some young players regress because they have played every day their entire life. Change in training and playing time and amounts affects some players more than others.
Plus playing for the Marlins is anything but stablility.

BP-
I’m just curious about the Universe Mode as I play that the most….I know it has Attitude story mode and thats gotten the most pub for obvious reasons, but I hear they’ve added to Universe mode and I just couldn’t put that down for months after I got it.
I’m also deep into Uncharted 3 still as well for my PS3….bar none, BEST PS gaming series out there and possibly best story mode in all of gaming.

Who would you deal Simmons for? (or as part of a package)
McCutchen?
Braun?
I’d deal him if the right bat came back. Then move some pitching to get a SS.
Don’t get me wrong folks. I love Simmons. But he’s not untouchable if I’m the GM.
Just sayin…….
