[QUOTE="Buzzbomb, post: 568372, member: 1134"] 1)The Braves apparently won’t go multi-years with Kimbrel, even though any decrease on his fastball late last season is still 2 or 3 mph above where we top out with the current crew(incidentally, they are not consistent in the strike zone). He not only has the makeup, but has learned a little about pitching and placement. We have spent over 9 m. on O’Day, just to make the Brach trade last year, who is with the Cubs, while Darren hasn’t thrown a pitch. Vizcaino cost 4.8 m. Kimbrel reportedly is asking for 15 m., about what the sum of those other two salaries are. 2)Riley needs to play, right now. Yet, Donaldson cost 23 m.(Camargo is even more clutch at the plate). The bullpen cumulatively is under 20 m. They take up 8 roster spots, plus a bevy of almost minimum salaried Gwinnettians who are going up and down on split contracts. So, Josh is costing more than the 14 guys on that specific element of the team. 3)Smoltz, Bowman and other people are talking about the NL East decided by the ‘pens or this one big name closer still out there for the taking who could be a difference maker. What am I missing, as we are are two games back here in the still early stages of a potential race in April? Snitker talks patience and stay on course. I’m losing some of mine, and is he talking about a golf course? [/QUOTE]
