I've got a lot of pictures i've saved and i always look for an interesting one that sticks out Do you remember a website around 10-15 years ago that said "Have You Ever Dreamed This Man?"

Sobotka was in “A” ball, at the start of the season. Shows what a lack of confidence the brass had in our bullpen. If Biddle still had a left arm, he should have been kept against the best run scoring team in the N.L., that feasts on righties.

With Tehran pitching the eighth, after the seventh, should a miracle occur, Braves will be forced to throw Johnny Wholestaff on Wednesday(with Sanchez starting).

The Braves need to trade for pitching in the offseason Starting and Bullpen

Great season, but now we get to look forward to what should be an interesting offseason. The Braves should either trade for Bumgarner or sign Corbin. They need to either trade for Realmuto or sign Harper and then sign Descalso for a bench of Culberson, Descalso, Duda, another OF (Adams or Duvall) and backup catcher. Too many options on the market for the pen, but hopefully they will try to sign Kimbrel and then just move Fried and Touissant to the pen in order to shore it up.

Would you trade with the Reds to get Matt Harvey? I think he would be an interesting addition to the Braves and the Reds might not ask for as much as you would think.

I wouldn't just because we need an ace. I want a rotation of Bumgarner/Corbin, Folty, Newk, Gausman, and Soroka (maybe Sanchez, Wright, or Touissant here if Soroka is still having shoulder issues).

I like your possible rotation The Braves would win 100 games with that rotation

It would have some depth too with the young guys, just in case of injuries.

The Hot Stove league should be interesting this Winter and i can't wait for Spring Training which will be at the new Braves facility in North Port,Florida.

I said it before, but the Braves have to be seriously players in the offseason. They can’t stand pat and expect to improve. This year was fun but there’s still multiple holes on this squad.

I’m not disagreeing with any of you guys, although having this contingent of youth a year older, is invaluable.
With O’Day, Soroka and a few other dudes who missed the entire season, it has to help.
Realmuto is a key, for my taste, in trade. I’d like to have Suzuki back, too! Markakis, absolutely, a veteran.
Harper, not for me. A one or two starter, sure, if under 30 y.o.

 

[GTJake]

First off, Congrats to the Braves on a great season, totally blew-away expectations, the future is bright !
I would address middle relief and closer for sure, I like Suzuki but it would be good to have an upgrade there.
Keep Markakis, give Camargo another shot at third and I'm a bit on the fence with Inciarte.
My trade bait from the current starting lineup would be Ozzie Albies, we'd need to keep Culberson ... something about Ozzie I don't like attitude-wise.
The other thing I would address as a coaching staff, is why it seems our (young) hitters are popping-up ALOT ??
