That's amazing. Too bad you aren't a part of the Braves FO. They could use your expertise, given that you know so much.
I would like to hear what you have to say come August 1, when the Braves have traded away most of their productive players for prospects and don't bring in ANY MLB-ready talent. Remember my predictions.
If the Braves continue losing, not only would players move, a managerial change would occur.

I sincerely hope that Fredi gets fired. He should have been fired before the season. But, what's the sense in bringing in a manager to lose this season and next season? What manager wants to lose for 2 seasons before the prospects are ready to turn the team around?
I've said it all season, and you haven't wanted to listen. We will be a bad team this season and next season. We are MUCH more fun to watch than last season, but we will be a well-below .500 team for 2015 and 2016.

González was given a chance to prove himself after the Braves organization removed itself of a bad general manager and bad coaches. His lack of energy and not getting more out of his players are bad signs for a coach in danger of losing his job.
I doubt we will know what happens in 2016, but the organization knows it will not be a duplicate of this season or 2014.

You just refuse to accept that this is a rebuilding team. What more needs to be proven to you? Do you read any articles or fan sites about the Braves? EVERY SINGLE one of them will tell you this is a rebuilding 2 seasons for this team.

Yes, I do read up on the Atlanta Braves. I doubt every Braves columnist or fan site has raised a white flag of surrender for the season yet. Opinions and projections vary.
Keep in mind every season is an opportunity to rebuild and reload.
The Braves (43-47) return to the win column with a 4-2 win over the Cubs, and snap a five-game skid. Arodys Vizciano (1-0) got the win with Jim Johnson (6) getting the save. Eury Perez batted in two runs.
Chicago Cubs:
Record: 48-41
Standing: Third, National League Central Divison (9.0 games behind Saint Louis Cardinals)
Atlanta Braves:
Record: 43-48
Standing: Third, National League East Division (7.0 games behind Washington Nationals)
Starting pitchers:
Cubs: Jake Arrieta (10-5, 2.66 earned run average, 123 strikeouts)
