Q. Did the Braves make a mistake when they traded Andrus, Harrison, Saltalamacchia, Feliz & Jones for Teixeira & Mahay? How were the Rangers able to grab all of these guys?

The forum was closed down for a while, but I’m officially re opening it. It looks good, and looks just like a IPB 2.0 forum, but it’s not IPB 2.0. A lot is still being worked on at the moment, and there will be a lot in the future. It’s now officially reopened.

Last season the Braves had one of the preeminent bullpens in the National League. That can be attributed to their power arms in the pen. This season is no different. The Braves have a bundle of relievers that can strike hitters out in pressure pack situations. Power relievers tend to do better in the pen [...]
