ReplyDeleteInstead they keep promoting retreads.
ReplyDeleteThis year's retreads have not led to blow outs - they never do
ReplyDeleteThey bring up Harris and we bring up Plummer Inciarte Mazeika and now the immortal Jankowski and wonder why our offense is not getting it done. Those 4 players AND Alvarez probably wouldn't get you Harris I just saying. I also looked up the 2015 season additions to the Braves and saw they added Swanson in an unbelievable trade with Arizona along with signing Contreras as an amatuer FA and then added Soroka AND Riley in the 1st round and AJ Minter in the second. Now I know the draft is a crap shoot but lets face it they really know what their doing and have a top flight FO and scouting staff. I hope Stevie is paying attention.
