Here is a bunch of trades tell me the ones you like and dislike. Comment please.
1. Trade Vazquez to Red Sox for Buchholz and Daniel Bard. Think our rotation in the next few years will consist of Hanson, JJ, Buchholz, and Bard. Then sign Dye.
2. Trade Schafer, Medlin, and another low level pitching prospect for

...according to Inside Edge Player Rating, was the top starting pitcher in all of Major League Baseball last season. Here's an explanation of how IE's rating system works(from ESPN.com):
Every pitch is given a value, whether it be a first pitch taken for a strike or a 2-0 pitch driven for a double. The value placed on each pitch is derived empirically, ba

Some of these will be no brainers, but here are MY priorities for the Braves this offseason - Wren may have different ones, we'll see.
1. Hudson. Huddy's situation is the keystone that will hold the Arch of the offseason together. If we buy him out, then we really can't feel comfortable with shopping KK, Lowe

The younger Carey is no longer affiliated with TBS as reported. You know after reading that article I want to let everyone know how I feel about Braves announcers.
I wish they would get Don Sutton and find a new Pete Van Wieren. I don't mind the idea of Brian Jordan or Ryan Gant calling Braves games simply because the

I thing the Angels are going to lose Lackey and they will be willing to listen to a deal for Lowe. If we offer them 2 mil per year on his contract plus one or two minor league players (not on the Braves 40 man roster) I thing we could get Rivera and Evans (plays OF & 3B).&n

Before you bust an artery chuckling on this idea...ponder it before clicking away to better entertain yourself. Okay...since you are still here, I'll try to keep your attention the best way I can. How about a trade involving the Chicago White Sox' Paul Konerko and

I read that the Braves are interested in Miguel especially since the Tigers might be talked into eating 5 million a year of his contract, that is well worth a trade that includes Jordan Schafer and

Guys --
Are you aware that Ted Turner (a few weeks ago) appeared on Good Morning America and declared publicly his intentions to buy back the Braves? That would be great if so. He's not afraid to spend money. Think about that. If he did that quickly, maybe we could move in on Holliday or Bay.

I think about eveyone is ready to write Derek Lowe off. Yes, he had somewhat of an up and down season, but I don't think I'm comfortable with Atlanta wanting to just dump him off for anything. He is still (IMO) a front line starter. He won 15 games, and he was really lights out when he was on. He has admitted there was something wr

If the Brave even simply DUMP Lowe's salary for prospects and a long releif guy they will have the money to pick up both Dye and Adam LaRoche. Adam can get done for a 3 year 27 million dollar deal. I don't see what all the fuss is about concerning Freeman and 1st base.
The Team would structure Adam's deal at 8 million, 9 million, and 10 million with a buy out op

What about a trade for Gaines Adams? He is a pretty good player and will be better than anyone we can get in the draft. He is probably cheap too. He doesn't even start for them but he probably would with us.
This is just a far fetched idea but if we get a pick in the 20s trade the Chiefs our pick and get our old 2nd round pick and theirs too. Then we can send the bears our old 2nd

Ok so we give Derek Lowe away for a middle reliever and a prospect (that's all we can hope for), unless we want to eat part of his contract...
Now we trade Javier Vasquez and B.Jones for Nelson Cruz. So we just freed up 26.5 million in payroll + 6 million (for soriano)
Now we make a trade for
