Atlanta Braves Being Dismantled

[Marshal Dillon]

When the Braves traded Jody Upton, I knew something big was up. Read the article for a good analysis.

The Braves and Astros have agreed upon a trade that would send Evan Gattis to Houston for three prospects. The deal was not yet finalized, with Gattis in Houston to get a physical.

3. If it were not obvious the Braves are pretty much going to be a non-factor to the Mets and others trying to contend in the NL East in 2015 (and probably 2016), the Gattis trade emphasizes it further.
The Braves started this offseason with two overt goals: 1. Get away from the heavily righty/all-or-nothing lineup and 2. Begin to restock what was a dreadful farm system with an eye on being a contender when they move into a new stadium in 2017.

However, even with the three who have since been jettisoned, the single-dimensional Braves scored just 573 runs, which was the second-worst in the majors. So their philosophy became: “We stunk with these guys, we can stink without them while trying to set ourselves up for the future.” So that is what they have done.

That about sums it up. I'm looking for Ozzie Virgil, Bob Horner, and Glenn Hubbard to get some playing time this season.

What, no Biff Pocaroba, Mike Lum, or Jerry Royster?

Oh, I am sure they will trade off the rest of the team and sign those guys up, too.

The article nailed their offensive woes perfectly, one dimensional. Basically, it was hit a home run or strikeout. No speed, no left-handed power, & definitely no clutch hitting.

Don't forget about El Gato Grande.

Only 10 players who started the season last year with the Braves are still with them. That's not counting the incredibly bad GM, Frank Wren, who was fired for incompetence.


 

[After a long, transaction-filled winter, the Braves have arrived in Florida to begin preparations for the 2015 season. This was the Braves' 25-man roster for opening day last season, a year in which the club went 79-83. The players who are no longer with the team have been crossed out.

Update on strikeout artist BJ Upton.

B.J. Upton has played his final game with the Atlanta Braves after two frustrating seasons.

The man formerly known as B.J. Upton will spend the next season going by Melvin Upton Jr.

ANY good news from the Braves changes??  I'd enjoy watching the Braves win again.

Basically, they're not even trying to win this year and next.  The hope is that prospects will develop and by 2017 when the new ballpark opens they'll be ready to contend again.

Minor changes to your name seems to help in civil lawsuits and bankruptcy court but I do not think it will help in the batters box.

Concession prices were not increased? There will be plenty of empty seats in the stadium making it easier to find a good spot to watch a game?
