King Felix is on a minor league dealing meaning that if he doesn't have a good spring he doesn't even make the team.

Yeah, but I wouldn't be shocked to see him as our number 4 to start the year. My hope is that Wilson or Touki can take it though and stay as the number 5 when Hamels comes back

He did just fine last year in that role. In fact, he was great.

  • 51 G, 53 1/3 IP, 43 H, 20 R, 18 ER, 8 HR, 19 BB, 57 SO, 3.00 ERA, 1.163 WHIP

The only issue I have is 51 games and 53 innings. Barely one inning per appearance. Needs two or more innings to be Millar

He can't help it when Snitker pulls him, but with the 3-batter rule, Snitker can't any longer pull guys after throwing only 1 or 2 pitches like he was known to do.

I just know that Fried needs to change his uniform number. First of all, 54 is a big fat guy number and he’s skinny as a rail. Second of all, that The Great Leo’s number and should be retired. 
I suggest #32 and he’ll look like Koufax throwing. Right now with 54 he looks sickly thin. 

Doubt he changes numbers ever because of his friendship rough the late Tyler Skaggs, who wore 45.

He went back and added that #32 Sandy Koufax part afterward but it's funny he mentioned that since Fried was a Dodgers fan growing up and his dad taught him to pitch like Sandy Koufax and Fried has worn #32 in the minor leagues.

Who was the team's President before AA's promotion, Mcguirk?

Anthopolous is President of baseball operations. Same title Hart had during the Coppy regime. Anthopolous will just continue as GM instead of hiring a GM like Hart did. Terry McGuirk is still the highest ranking Braves official. Mike Plant is president of The Battery and Braves development, Derek Schiller is president  of the business side of things.

So who was President of Baseball Operations before AA, no one? What does this even mean, just a new sign on his door?

The title was vacant after Hart was forced out. It's just a fancy new title that probably came with a raise. President of operations is the new trend in the league. Multiple guys like Theo in Chicago, Friedman in LA, Bloom in Boston all have the title. Most of them run the team themselves but on occasion some hire a GM to work under them. Theo, for example, hired Jed Hoyer as GM but Theo has final say on any decisions as president of operations.
