Dawggone Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Simmons awarded Wilson Defensive Player of the Year.Yep, just got the alert. Funny how he was voted top overall in baseball but didnt even win an NL gold glove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknøwn Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 That award is completely seperate from the Gold and Platinum gloves. Those are sponsored by Rawlings and voted on. The Wilson awards are based on a formula combining defensive stats. So what it boils down to is with the Wilson award theres no human element voting.

Psychic Gibbon Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 AJ is coming back on a one-year deal. The offseason is off to a wonderful start.No Lucroy then, though now I'm back to hoping that they trade for Austin Hedges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknøwn Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 AJ gets $3M can be 4M with incentives. Rosenthal said AJ had bigger offers on the table but wanted to play for Atlanta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknøwn Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Could be the Rockies. They reportedly want a catcher so it could be Bethancourt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falconsfan567 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 AJ is coming back on a one-year deal. The offseason is off to a wonderful start.I disagree. Would have loved to land a catcher that is actually good at catching. Strange concept I know but its been proven to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawggone Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 (edited) A source says the trade revolves around Simmons.Simmons? As in Andrelton? Guys, if Simmons goes after Heyward, Wood, and Kimbrel while we keep Fredi, I may be done. And I say that as a Braves fan from the early 80s on and with a heavy heart.

And I say that as a Braves fan from the early 80s on and with a heavy heart.Everyone has a price, it's part of the business. Though what we do know is that the Dodgers inquired about him at the deadline but were shot down due to the price being absurdly high. The Dodgers also just so happen to have the top farm system in the league, so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawggone Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 (edited) I got trolled. The twitter of Mark Bowman that reported the Puig trade is apparently fake. I hate these fake accounts.

Psychic Gibbon Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 One thing that I've seen floated out there is Simmons for Kimbrel, Renfroe, and Hedges. Nothing to back that up but I wouldn't mind seeing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
