The best teams in baseball lose 1/3 of their games. They go on streaks where they lose 6 of 10. Postseason, being a small sample size, is a crapshoot. That's why wild card teams can win the Series. The objective of the GM is to put the team in position to make the tournament as often as possible, keep fans in the seats by being competitive year in and year out, and hope things work out from there. You can't predict the face of the franchise would suffer bone spurs and be unproductive in a 5 game series.
The best lineup isn't the one with the most stars. It is the one with the most consistent production throughout. Braves are smarter to get the WAR from Donaldson somewhere else that isn't putting the team in a bad position a few years out with Soroka, Fried, Acuña, Albies, Anderson, Pache, and Waters all under long term control.
AA has made really good, smart moves. Despite the criticism, like passing on Kimbrel, the team has exceeded expectations the last 2 seasons. They were projected to finish 4th in the East last season and won 97 games. I'm going to trust his plan.
All great points, and he even turned out to be right on Kimbrel...
This is far too well thought out and logical. Go away, I want to bash on Liberty some more
Every thing I’ve been reading about the Braves lately, the players there bringing in, looks like there trying to build a World Series team. At least there not sitting the sidelines this year.
