cooltigger21 0 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I think you can stick a fork in this team. Gonna have to practically win out and have brewers and pirates stumble badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jared52 4,354 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 This has been a frustrating season. Missed opportunities abound and the hitting, man has it been awful. The Braves need a real lead off man and someone who can him better than .270. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooltigger21 0 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Well it's official now. They are out of the playoffs.

around4ever 4,139 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 UNBELIEVABLE!! Braves trade Jason Heyward to the Cards with Jordan Walden for pitchers Shelby Miller and Tyrell Jenkins. Apparently the Braves think BJ is a better outfielder and hitter. Back to the cellar we go again. Thanks Braves Management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
augolf1716 21,434 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 They are trying to build up on pitching and shoot for 2017 season so I'm told. Also JH becomes a free agent after next year. Not saying I agree with the trade but it is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburntiger1987 759 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Are they still getting rid of Justin Upton too? heard that with them doing this to Jason that it only makes sense to do it to justin who's in the same position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
80Tiger 904 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 The BJ Upton contract is just killer. The Braves evidently have to hang on to him for a few more years. They are still paying Uggla. While I like Heyward, he has underperformed a little over the last couple of years. Batting leadoff did him no favors though. He was going to a free agent next year and could very well have lost him anyway without getting anything for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the Braves will at least cut him though rather than allowing him to sink the team's play in addition to the checkbook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trading Gattis has also been widely rumored but that makes less sense to me due to the team's four remaining years of control over Gattis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigSammyK 171 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 UNBELIEVABLE!! Braves trade Jason Heyward to the Cards with Jordan Walden for pitchers Shelby Miller and Tyrell Jenkins. Apparently the Braves think BJ is a better outfielder and hitter. Back to the cellar we go again. Thanks Braves Management. Do you really think the Braves haven't been trying to get rid of BJ? C'mon... I think the trade could end up being really good for the Braves. We needed a starter and they got one who has been pretty solid the last two season. He's also cheap and we freed up a bunch of money by trading Heyward. Everything I've read has lead me to believe that we would not be able to afford him after next season. I also do think we still move either Justin or Gattis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Braves got a middle-to-top of the rotation guy and arguably the Cards top pitching prospect. I'm not sure exactly how much money that has freed up, but it has to be a nice chunk with Walden leaving as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUB1974 2 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Can anyone name a bullpen pitcher we will have this year who was on last year's team (other than Kimbrell)? Saw where Kimbrell is now senior member of the team -- at least for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
