Minus the Jim Thome trade, this feels a lot like the first year of Gillick's reign.

What could he conceivably get for Giles?

He's probably seeking out a Kimbrel-like deal. As he should.

I'm really surprised what they got for kimbrel considering the number of quality closers available. Giles is special because of his service time and distance from arbitration, but I'm not sure I would give up a ton for him given the other options. I hope I'm wrong because I'd take a deal like the Kimbrel deal in about a nanosecond.

Maybe Klentak can trade Giles for a young controllable fireballing righthander.

My god, listen to the last 10 minutes. They rip on the UGA football fans for loving Mark Richt for being a good man, then go into a 10 minute rant on how dumb Braves fans are. I'm going to get fired for laughing like a maniac.

Bell was a 3B. If they're moving him to 1B, he could be up very early, especially if Alvarez struggles or is moved.
(Brandy) only hinted at Halladay's personal issues during her Hall of Fame speech last July, when she said, "Roy would want everyone to know that people are not perfect. We're all imperfect and flawed in one way or another. We all struggle."

First pick have to assume we land someone who could stick on the 25 all year.

We should get Boog Powell. He's gotta be pretty old though.

ridiculous walk rate. If he can maintain the walk rate, he'd only need to hit .250 to be useful (assuming he can play defense at all)..

I'd be good with that pick.
