How much will Bourn command? 5@15-17. Reyes money.
A great read if y'all are into it is the extra 2%. Its about the Rays and the model their new ownership follows.

so let's say Wren magically takes the smart pills and trades for Justin Upton. Since the whole planet knows that Bourn is walking, do you stick Heyward at CF next year?

Yep, i say at least 15-17 per and the Braves can't and won't compete because they're too cheap.

Trade Uggla. We're paying him far too much money to set franchise records in strikeouts.
We need to make a move for another SP or like major said, trade Uggla (oh look another strikeout) and move Prado to second

No Heyward can't cover the ground Bourn can in CF. The problem is, we don't have Chippers replacement. Prado is supposed to be, but we don't have a LF. If Bourn leaves for greener pastures, which I am sure he will, the Braves have holes at 3B and CF. Translation, haven't fixed any problems and pitching is in bad shape. Not even mentioning King Whiff (Uggla) can't hit for $hit.

Looks like Bourne is hitting the market a year older than Reyes but is probably the best defensive CF in the game. Probably splitting hairs with Ajax and Ells( maybe). Given Reyes didn't have defensive value and has injury concerns I think his 6 yrs for 102 (with an option) might be the floor.

Will definitely get it for my ipad. Love me some sport's strategy books. Is it just another moneyball type book?

Sheets looking good today. Not quite as sharp as his last start but he's been able to get out of a few jams with some double plays
