The Braves have already written off the 2015 season before the first game has even been played.
I bet you they MADE the Padres take "Melvin" (BJ) as part of the trade to get Kimbrel.
I don't know exactly how much salary the Braves have already trimmed by getting rid of the Upton bros, Kimbrel, et al, but I hope it's enough to field a winning team next year when the new ballpark opens. Remember Boston returning to the WS the year after trimming a quarter of a billion dollars worth of salary just a few short years ago? Maybe the Braves can do the same?
Except to dump salary. There is no replacing someone like kimbrel, I'm still in shock. One thing is clear though with that idiotic trade they just handed the Nat's the nl east. As far as next year goes I have lost all confidence in the Braves after this move.
If you don't expect to have any leads to protect, who needs a closer, much less arguably the best closer in the game?
Well, now my betting strategy should be clear. As you know I live in Dallas, Tx so my adopted "home team" is the Rangers who also are going to suck this year. I guess I can do a parlay and bet on who ever plays the Braves hooked up with whoever plays the Rangers. lol
The worst thing about this will be listening to APU crow about how fucking great his Gnats are all fucking year.ugh
I already heard from him on the RO board, hopefully he cuts us some slack this year... And that might not be a bad strategy, one that I would implement today if they weren't playing the lowly marlins. It's hard to root against your own team but when money is on the line that will be the case this year. Texas you can always adopt the Astros they have a good young catcher, could surprise This year. Speaking of parlays I have a 6 teamer in the mlb today which I know won't hit but what the hell it's opening day.
