Still question whether SD will be willing to move Headley. Haven’t heard anything recently regarding an extension w/ them. Could be a good chance for them to sell high and a bat I’m sure the Braves would covet.

The Diamondbacks are said to be one of the most aggressive teams here so far… Execs with other teams have thought they will trade J.Upton.
Frank…. losing Ahmed will hurt, but get it done. 3-team trade with us keeping Ahmed would be better though

I’m finding these assumptions that all trades with the Braves must begin with either Teheran, Delgado or Simmons. It’s a bit much.
I’m not sure that most folks here could name more than five players in the system, to start with. So, any speculation is going to center around players with whom they are familiar. Or semi-familiar, anyway.

If you look at the Stolen Base success percentage rate for Upton I think you find that the when you break down the Net Stolen Bases for Bourn and Upton, you’ll find those two number Very close to one another.

If the Indians decide to go all-in on their rebuild, they could extract young pitching talent from a team like the Mariners or Diamondbacks, says ESPN.com’s Buster Olney (Insider link). Cleveland’s asking price for Asdrubal Cabrera is “steep in terms of young pitchers,” according to Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Bauer from the DBacks, Teheran from the Braves should be good. DBacks get Cabrera, EOF, and Spruill? We get Upton. Maybe send them JuanFran

I say watch rumors about Brett Gardner. With the ARod injury the Yankees need help at 3rd. Would a Juan Francisco plus a bullpen arm for Gardner work. Gardner costs only about 3 mil/per. He is a good base stealer, leadoff, great defense, and under control 2? more years. Plus he fits Wren’s need to get more athletic. Francisco would be big at Yankee stadium. Braves have excess bullpen arms. I think it would be a good match depending on which pitcher.

Juan Fransisco is close to being a non tender candidate much less a trade piece for a better player. Nunez is by far a better player than Fransisco at this point, dont they have Chavez also? Yanks wont be dealing Gardner until the decide on Ichiro.

The payroll will be nowhere near that of the 2012 level.
Wren kept his word by signing a “premium” player in Upton, but way overpaid in doing so. Remember, it’s about putting butts in the seats. The guys you stated would not do that, not to mention win as many games

SB attempts, for a lineup that has as much potential sock as this one, would not be a productive offensive tactic. It doesn’t appear that they will have a real Bourn-like threat at the top of the order, and risking both a baserunner AND an out after the 3-hole wouldn’t be very smart (in most cases).

anders As soon as the bright lights of October appeared he returned to his average roots
average roots? he was pretty much the same player in new york he always has been. which, by the way, is not an average player. he has always been a good hitter.
rick c If they are going to get someone with extreme splits against RHP vs LHP, I’d rather it be someone who can’t hit RHP.
this would be foolish, considering 3/4ths of all MMLB pitchers are righthanded. get a guy who cant hit righites at all, and youve hamstrung yourself alot more than if you got a guy who cant hit lefties. by the way, choo’s power is sapped vs. lefties, but he still gets on base at a fine rate.

That’s all on Fredi. I do think they are viewing those as an indicator of the ability to go first to third, send to home, maybe even first to home, on hits. Teams can be “more aggressive” on the base paths without necessarily tallying Rickey Henderson SB totals… Though that would be exciting to watch.

Absolutely. I do think posters here mistake Wren’s desire for quicker, more athletic personnel as a desire for speedy base-stealers. Little could be further from the truth.

He also doesn’t block Gattis if he truly is going to be a star.

Year-plus for Bourn, a year for Choo. Mid-year trade for Bourn, an offseason trade for Choo. Ought to balance out, mostly. Not as if the Indians are going to re-stock on a Choo trade.

I mentioned Choo a few days ago…always thought he might be on the radar if we weren’t going after Justin. Have people seen him play? If so, is he good defensively? His UZR/150 was -16.1 last year. We would be going from Bourn at 22.5 to Upton at -3.2 and from Prado at 16.6 to Choo at -16.1 in UZR/150. While I think Choo would be a good addition depending on cost, it does appear we will be a little worse in OF D.

Good point. It also lets us get another year to see the if one of the internal options of Fransico, Gattis, or even todd cunningham can be a regular. That line-up that Efrim posted if the Braves got Choo would be outstanding. I agree that this is one of the best options that I have heard.

Tomahawkin sure talks a lot about tasting grown men. I don’t judge, though… it’s 2012. You can taste whoever you want. Whatever floats your boat.
I can’t take full credit for the idea of trading Freeman for Stanton and signing Laroche… scoots helped me with that one.

Perhaps that just means the team will have 4 draft picks.
And hopefully we lose only 1 (or none)… stock up on some hitters, get this farm going on.
I really hope they extend Prado
Me too, but 3B is a hard position to fill… add in his versatility, the fact that the 2014 FA market is weak (except for corner OF), I could see him holding out and trying to get paid. He’s not a young ‘un who needs security, he’ll be 30 next winter.

Phillies Fans Are Wanting Both Moylan and Double J (Jurrigens) Badly…
It would be sickening to see either one of them in Those Candystripes

Don’t be confused into thinking that, George_George, is a real person.
There’s no way a real person could really be that stupid.
