Thread: My tentitive plan to rebuild the Braves this offseason

Lot of typing, but funny joke. :)

Considering who you were asking......yes he probably would.

Offense isn't the problem in Texas, especially in the outfield. They need a big pitcher, and Vaz is the best option out there other than Halladay. So in answering, yes, I think it could happen. Texas may want to make a run THIS year and Vaz would certainly help. Plus Vaz is young enough that they could sign him to a longer contract anyway. And Texas may be thinking what others are. Nelson waited until he was 28 to break out and do...

Not sure, I believe I read something somewhere but can't remember where...lol that said something about them considering moving him to a corner OF spot. Like I said can't remember where I read that at though, but it didn't sound like they where thinking about trading him. I also think his trade value is down and doubt they would move him while his trade value is down alot compared to before this past season started...etc Also...

*I doubt the Rangers even want starting pitching. They have a lot of good young starters, and are already being weighed down by Milwood in the final year of his contract. If anything, they may be looking to trade a starter.* Derek Lowe and Freddie Freeman for Derek Lee. Then sign Lee to an extension. Sound good? Anybody? anybody?

do you think the rangers would trade Josh Hamilton?

My plan to rebuild the Braves: 1. The Yankees need pitching. The Braves need hitting. An obvious win-win-win is Lowe + Reyes to NYY for Teixeira. 2. With Teixeira locked up for 8 more years, move Freeman. Who needs a cheap 1B? The Mets. Freeman + Diory Hernandez to the Mets for Beltran. 3. The Phillies could use a catcher and a 3B. So David Ross + Prado to the Phillies for Utley. 4. The Braves are down on KJ, the Cards are down on Ludwick....

I doubt the Rangers even want starting pitching. They have a lot of good young starters, and are already being weighed down by Milwood in the final year of his contract. If anything, they may be looking to trade a starter. Furthermore, they probably can't add any payroll due to ownership problems, so Vazquez's $11.5 is likely out of the question. Lastly, Vazquez would have no desire to go to the AL and one of the better...

I don't think so. It was either Mac, Yunel, or Diaz. I think Prado was very good, but he's not going to be #1. Maybe 3. Maybe 2.

I think Cruz is far more of a risk than Javy. Plus, Texas is broke. Our team is built on starting pitching, and the best approach is to support the strength. By detracting a lot of the strength, we hurt ourselves. The best angle is to go for defense, bat and then bullpen. We can keep Javy. We don't need the offense that our rival's have, because we will have a better run-prevention system. Also, we do have real talent on the...
