Falconsfan567 35,212 Posted December 10, 2019 Author Share Posted December 10, 2019 AA didn't sign all this pitching to only run out there an average offensive unit which is exactly what the Braves will be if we don't keep Donaldson or replace him with a similar bat. I have all the faith in the world that come April the Braves will have a WS squad. ATL Fan in the DMV and RING OF HONOR 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Falconsfan567 35,212 Posted December 10, 2019 Author Share Posted December 10, 2019 Wil Myers is coming off a disastrous 2019 season, but in the 4 seasons prior he posted wRC+ of 115, 114, 107, and 107. Yes, I know he's owed $67.5M over the next 3 seasons with a $20M option for 2023 and is terrible defensively, but I'd love to see the Braves do this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah if you pay a pitcher $30mm/yr, if he doesn’t have a Cy Young season every year - you overpaid - plus injury risk. RING OF HONOR 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yup, you can call me crazy but I love teams in our division signing these crippling contracts. Might sting for minute but long term you have about 5 year period of purgatory for a rival. Cole can never live up to that contract. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Malachore 9,039 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 LOL Ozuna will cost as much as Donaldson so why let him walk? I feel like Donaldson leaves because 3 years is the max AA wants to give him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
