Around SBN: Bracketology 2012: Duke Finally Steps Up To The No. 1 Line

My apologies about my last post....

It was a big brainstorming cluster**** lol. I guess i was really trying to find a good mixture of what type of moves the braves should make.  My biggest point are these, and just wanted to see what yall thought....

When it comes to our middle infielders, I think KJ and Yunel are at peak value in terms of what they could bring back in a trade.  I think that the braves should definitely consider at least seeing what they could get in return for these two.  If the braves do trade yunel and get a couple of questionable positions answered, or use yunel to get a stud, then I actually think the smart thing would be to sign furcal.  My reasoning is that furcal would probably be a better value signing per year at 15 million than lowe, burrell, dunn,etc would be.  

Another point that I had was that if it seems that we are not going appease peavy or the padres anytime soon, why not see what we can do to get cain.  I honestly would not mind cain at 20 million less over the next five years, and I think it would cost less in terms of talent to get him.  

Finally, on the idea of francouer, my cause is to use him to gain a young controllable pitcher, something of much value and need for any team trying to get back into contention.  

I know I contradicted myself a lot in my previous post, so forgive me on that.  But my biggest point is that we could use some of our young talent to get more proven contollable young talent, which could put us in an even better position for making a run sooner rather than later when some of our young prospects are ready to make an  impact in the majors.

Francouer

His value is probably not much more than a bag of chips right now on the trade market. Maybe we could get Kyle Davies back from Dayton Moore, he seems to like low OBP guys. At least then we could have the Good/Evil Davies jokes back.

I think it would cost more in terms of talent to get Cain, as he is younger and cheaper than Peavy. SF seems intent on keeping their young pitching anyways.

No.

I’m all for guaging interest in Yunel and Kelly, but I’m not sold on trading either of them. It’s a really tough call and I don’t envy Wren at this point.

Cain is not available, Peavy is; that’s why there are a handful of Jake rumors every day and not even a whisper about Matt. If San Fran were to make their second ace available, he’s certainly cost at least as much as Peavy due to his contract, age and health picture.

Francouer, like Mike Jacobs, is probably worth a potentially useful middle reliever at this point. We’re stuck with the Rusted One until he turns things are or we cut the cord.
