If you ever question how loyal I’ll be, I’m still an Arkansas football fan...

[Jared Oats @JaredOats]

@StatsSAC As an Arkansas fan that watched him all year, he’s definitely not elite defensively. But he’s also not as bad as people think. Arkansas had a 7 man rotation and he was the star. He had to play it safe to make sure he never fouled out.

@LucasBolden1 Touki, I just knew he was gonna be a stud.

[Jared Oats @JaredOats]

The Braves currently have a bigger lead for the best record in baseball than any other division lead. @HammerTerritory

[Jared Oats @JaredOats]

@b_outliers But not Suarez? Surely that DFA is coming.

[Jared Oats @JaredOats]

@scottcoleman55 Let’s not overlook the fact that they were also just voted top farm system.

[Jared Oats @JaredOats]

@BravesSufferer My dream scenario is they find someone to take Bummer, then they trade for Morejon from the Padres, sign Framber, and move Lopez back to the bullpen.

[Jared Oats @JaredOats]

@b_outliers Yoán Moncada? Cheap, switch hitting, corner infielder with power potential? Not starter worthy, but seems like a quality piece to have on the bench.

[Jared Oats @JaredOats]

@baldheaded1der If the plan is to slide him to second next season and decline Ozzie’s option next year, then yes. Dubon gives you a late inning defensive replacement. But he can’t be viewed as a long term solution at SS.

[Jared Oats @JaredOats]

@StatsSAC Also feel like a buy low guy. Getting your 4th OF/DH for little money and no prospects sets you up to get a SS and SP through FA or trade.

[Jared Oats @JaredOats]

@StatsSAC I think Garcia particularly just makes so much sense as the 4th outfielder/DH. Good defender on the corner outfield spots to rotate with Acuna and Profar, and feels like a bounce back candidate when reuniting with his old hitting coach.

[Jared Oats @JaredOats]

@grantmcauley Dubon makes me feel a lot more comfortable taking the risk on Seager. That’s a nice insurance policy it Seager were to miss time. And if Seager is healthy Dubon can rotate and give everyone not named Olson days off to stay fresh and healthy.

[Jared Oats @JaredOats]

@b_outliers @scottcoleman55 Does Fraley qualify as a “starting outfielder”? Being able to focus on pitching in the offseason would be nice.

[Jared Oats @JaredOats]

@BravesStats The Mets say no to this.

[Jared Oats @JaredOats]

@GeauxSportsTalk Even if he doesn’t help them get to the postseason, I just need him to improve the watchability of this team!

[Jared Oats @JaredOats]

@SportsTalkATL He has officially reached “bring back Kelenic” bad.

[Jared Oats @JaredOats]

@baldheaded1der But could he learn to play middle infield???

[Jared Oats @JaredOats]

@scottcoleman55 Looked like prime Mariano against our three best hitters. We’re about to have to quit calling them our three best hitters…

[Jared Oats @JaredOats]

Granny’s cooked it seems.

[Alex @GeauxSportsTalk]

Granny stays in her cage until the Braves win one single game

[Jared Oats @JaredOats]

@GeauxSportsTalk Granny could be looking at life in jail.

[Jared Oats @JaredOats]

@b_outliers A lot of questionable choices here, Javy Baez?
