Word on the street is Kelly Crull will be replacing Kelsey. She was the sideline reporter for the Cubs during their WS run.

How about sharing some grades with us, big Left-Hander?
Here were mine, buried beneath a sea of rubble(and probably worth a torch of fire):

Now that we are almost ready to start the ST games, how would you rate the off-season moves for the Atlanta Braves?

I’m giving them a B+ overall:
Bullpen...A+(Will Smith, and signing all of the revamped ‘pen from July). Webb, Dayton, healthy. Financial wiggle room for 2021, w/ expiring contracts post ‘20).

OF... B+(I really like Ozuna for a year. Several injuries in the second half, hurt this group. Aging ‘Kakes for another year, as a gateway to Pache & Waters).

IF....C(The one area we could cover the loss of JD on, was Camargo/Riley. Some other teams would like to have our problem. Other 3 positions, returnees are solid. Hechavarria a nice resign.).

C....C(Alex might have signed the 2nd best hitting catcher available. I’m just not a Flowers fan, especially if he starts in more than 20-25 games).

SP...C-(I love Hammels, low risk, high reward by just his presence & experience. Felix is a bit of a long shot. Didn’t add a high profile young stud, but we do have young AAAA pitchers on the cusp. Lost Keuchel and Tehran. Newk to get another chance.

Farm system....A(We left it alone. A big positive. No trades. Set for the future. The 2020 June selections, left in place for the most part. Gain a sandwich pick, lose the two regular ones around it).
