Atlanta Braves Armchair GMs 5&6
Alright guys! We continue to roll out our Armchair GMs and the ideas are quite creative considering how handicapped this assignment is without the use of trades. While I know trades will be a part of the offseason, I wanted to hone in on free agent targets. In case you missed it, here are the links to Armchair GMs 1-4
Armchair GMs 1&2, BadgerBrave and Eric Dudley!
Armchair GMs 3&4, VeeDub and BraveNewWorld!
When judging these entries, here are 3 simple guidelines to follow:
- Are the contracts realistic in dollars?
- Do you think the players fill the Braves holes for next season?
- Do you think the players fill long-term needs?
*Please be respectful in the comments section and try to find something positive to say about each entry, especially if you plan on being critical about some part of the post. This is such a useless exercise, but at least it can be fun if we keep it that way! Thanks.*
Without further ado, I give you the 3rd Armchair GM “Bravswillriseagain”
