Examining the Braves top five fantasy players for 2022
Saturday, March 26, 2022 -Clint Manry I just had my fantasy baseball draft today as I’m currently part of a 12-team, H2H points-based league at Fantrax. I have to say, I really like my team (named the “Huntsville Stars”), which is headlined by two-way player Shohei Ohtani… Keeping with Fantrax‘s system, the Braves have two […]

Friday, March 25, 2022 -Clint Manry The deadline for submitting salary figures to arbitration-eligible players came and passed on Tuesday, but the Braves only managed to come to terms with three of its eight players, leaving a quintet of young talent still unsigned for the 2022 season in outfielder Adam Duvall, pitchers Max Fried and […]

Grading the Braves transactions this offseason
Tuesday, March 22, 2022 -Clint Manry Who would’ve ever imagined that, with the exit of its franchise player, the Braves would be in the running for best offseason so far. Sure, letting Freddie Freeman walk was far from ideal. Given what he ended up signing for with the Dodgers, it’s rather evident that, if he […]

The path to the majors has become much clearer for Drew Waters
Monday, March 21, 2022 -Clint Manry Leading up to the 2020 season, the Braves farm system was no doubt headlined by a pair of ultra-talented outfielders – Cristian Pache and Drew Waters. In late January of that offseason, FanGraphs had each prospect ranked nos. 1 and 2, respectively, as both were coming off huge performances […]

Should the Braves be worried about the Mets?
Wednesday, December 29, 2021 -Clint Manry With a brand-new manager and the sport’s highest 2022 payroll, once again (on paper) the Mets are looking like a real threat in the NL East. So far the team’s winter has featured one superstar signing after another, including pitcher Max Scherzer (3 years / $130M), infielder Eduardo Escobar […]

Good luck Johan Camargo
Thursday, December 2, 2021 -Clint Manry After 10 seasons in the organization, Johan Camargo is no longer a Brave. Late on Wednesday night it was reported that the switch-hitter had signed a one-year, $1.4-million contract with the Phillies. The deal comes just a day after the Braves chose not to tender Camargo a contract for […]

The newly-announced minor league housing plan is a long overdue step in the right direction
Thursday, November 25, 2021 -Clint Manry It may have slipped through the cracks (it did for me), but baseball did a very good thing last week, announcing that all 30 MLB teams will be required to provide housing for all minor league players. ESPN.com’s Jeff Passan reported the news, along with Baseball America’s J.J. Cooper. […]

The case for signing a familiar friend, Kevin Gausman
Wednesday, November 24, 2021 -Clint Manry I realize it’s hard to think about anything other than re-signing Freddie Freeman. He and the Braves are supposedly in the midst of contract negotiations. And at this point, retaining the franchise player is the top priority among Braves Country. I still think a deal gets done. As long […]
