Atlanta Braves Roster: The “What If” Game

After being swept by the Washington Nationals this past weekend, the Atlanta Braves currently sit in fourth place in the NL East with a 14-17 record.  The Braves are 8-8 at home and 6-9 on the road in 2015.  Next stop, the Cincinnati Reds as we head to the Great American Ball Park for a three game series.

By now, we’ve all read and heard about the multiple trades the Braves front office made during this past offseason.  But looking back on these trades, should we still be upset that they made these decisions?

Folks always talk about the what if scenario at the water cooler at the office or in the local bar with friends.  Why do we do this to ourselves?  What’s the point of this?

You’ll never receive an answer for those questions because it’s all about your imagination and where our brains take us.

Looking through the business glasses, you don’t want to look backwards when trying to move forward, but for this case we will.

I look into the stats of the players the Braves moved this offseason and in years past to give you a glimpse of what the Braves could have been if they decided to keep these players.  Some numbers may surprise you.
