What in the frickity flippity frock are the Braves doing?  They were close to last in hitting in the entire Majors last year and they just traded Justin Upton 29 HR and 102 RBI to the freaking Padres.  And for what?  "Prospects"  Prospects?  One is a really well thought of left handed pitcher....THEY DON'T NEED PITCHING!!!!!!!  who by the way will miss the entire season with elbow surgery.  Only one other "Prospect" has ever played a lick in the majors. 

They send Jason Heyward off and sign Nick Markakisass or some shit.  He's having neck surgery right now for herniated discs.  He's already about 50 years old.

HOLY DAMN!!!  Bring back Bobby Cox and let Ted Turner buy the team back.  They might win 27 games next year.  Oh, and the Padres got Upton AND Matt Kemp from the Dodgers.  This organization has officially said to hell with 2015.  I hope not one soul shows up to watch this pile of crap.

My doctor told me I needed to stop masturbating.  I asked him why, and he said, "because I'm trying to examine you."

I feel really bad for Freddie and his huge contract extension. 

But FUCK the Braves. I won't watch a single game.

I thought the answer was two very good bats that could work pitchers and protect a guy like Upton so he could see some better pitches but:
Looks like they are undoing any positives they had in their favor including hope.

See, here's the problem.  This team has become so bad, you can't even type that with a straight face.  That didn't even cause a murmur in the Reverse Karma Force.  Not even a ripple.

I'm praying for a Freddy Freeman trade.  I mean, we don't need to lose the guy, but Jesus.  He doesn't deserve what is happening to him.  May as well trade him for a few prospects.

Well, let's get up to speed with some more of the Braves stellar moves in the off season.  Since we last spoke, they've added:

Jim Bust Johnson.  Another relief pitcher who the A's let go after posting a sizzling 7.09 ERA last season.

Jason Long Term Grilli.  Guess what?  Another relief pitcher.  Why "Long Term"?  He's 38. Speaking of almost 38:

A.J. Buy A Vowel Pierznski.  A 37 year old catcher coming off his worst offensive performance of his career. 

So, the question is where does that leave Evan Gattis?  Do they keep his stick and put him in left in Upton's place where he has no business playing?  Do they trade one of the offensive bright spots from last year? Hey I know, they could use him to get some more left handed relief pitching prospects.  I understand rebuilding. I'm all for it if need be.  But signing a 38 year old relief pitcher, a 37 year old catcher and a 36 year old outfielder....I got nuthin....

I am hoping to this pick a bit as spring training approaches. February is right around the corner. Right after January, iirc.

AJ Perezeesisissnnziski still plays? I thought he and Jim Thome retired to Sunny Fla together years ago.

They did, but the Braves signed him anyway. :facepalm:

Hey, maybe they can coax Gaylord Perry out of retirement.
