I'm not sure Riley will be the "answer". He's hurt a lot and strikes out a lot and folks keep talking about how much his defense has improved. That tells me it wasn't very good. Not sure how much improvement he has made. I like Camargo. He's going to be a .280-.290 hitter and could be a 15-20 HR guy over a full season and there are zero questions about his defense....or his speed or his arm. I think he might be too good to just be a utility infielder. I wonder if he might take Swanson's slot. I'm not sold on him either, at this point. You are right though,,,he'd be a great player off the bench. I'd hate to see that.
Ok so you say the Braves got a huge revenue increase from the new park and surrounding Battery. But then you say they don't own the Battery?
"The Atlanta Braves unveiled plans on Wednesday for the $400 million entertainment district that would spring up beside the new $672 million stadium that’s set to open in 2017....The $400 million would be entirely funded by the Braves and a potential development partner, which has not yet been selected." This is from an AJC article published when the concept was started back in 2013, but nothing has changed with the concept. Again, LM is not allowed to take or inject cash into or out of the Braves as it would alter the valuation of their investment, again from the SEC.

If LM paid for any developments therefore the Braves wouldn't own it, and that revenue wouldn't go into the Braves financial reports.... So are you saying LM is siphoning off money from the Braves?
