I don't think the Stros contend for another 4-5 years.

It's amazing how quickly 'Stros fell apart.

It's really not. Even when they were playing well they were old as shite and depleting the farm with stupid trades

Pains me to say but I'm thinking 2014 or 15. If I was optimistic I'd say 2013 but theres no way this train wreck can be turned around in 2 years.


As far as trades go, I'm crossing my fingers wishing on stars and shite that Frank Wren gets desperate and goes full retard and gives up Teheran or Viz for Bourn. although I've yet to get my hopes up.

Well I mean they contended consistently for a long, long time. But never could replace Bags and Biggio. And it seems like once was a solid farm system is just decimated. Not a flame at all, but we Bravos truly take for granted our ridiculously deep scouting talent. If that ever goes, we'll be right there with you since we don't spend top 10 money anymore.

I think the Braves make a block buster trade this off-season from the surplus of young pitching we have.


Julio is untouchable. Stamos got mad at me for saying the gap between Bryce and Julio isn't that big.

I fricking hate everything Braves, but I'll be damned if I'm not jealous every time I hear about another top 100 guy in the farm.

I realize he's ahead of Bryce experience-wise, but he make him like retarded that other night. Bryce obviously is lost against a good change up at this point.

I don't think we can keep Hanson and JJ unless the team is sold.

I wouldn't be surprised at all to see JJ go in the offseason

I am pretty sure I broke Stamos' heart when I told him that neither JD nor Altuve are top 100 prospects.

I think it's a guarantee, especially if Chipper goes and that money opens up. Getting rid of Chipper, Nate, and KK's salaries will be amazing

a change in ownership would help as well

I still think JJ will be gone, as great as he's been this year

I hate it but the return we'd get for him is something that would be well worth it

Braves could get A LOT for JJ if they deal him before the deadline. i mean a lot. there are so many contenders looking for starting pitching.
