If I'm not mistaken, its based on W-L record from last year for all the teams eligible for the compensation pick.

interesting. should be a solid pick up especially for what amounts to a bluff offer and the chance to screw over boras. thanks again.

We will have the 31st pick, unless Lohse signs, which would bump us to 32. Remember, we lost our own 1st rounder by signing Upton, so this will be our first pick in the draft.

I think we were picking like 28 anyways, so not exactly crippling.

Cleveland's offseason has been very weird. They just traded for Drew Stubbs. Traded for Trevor Bauer. Signed Nick Swisher and Bourn. Then they turn around and sign Jason Giambi. And still have no pitching.

Nah. That's typical for them. Load up on offense, they'll all get hurt. No pitching. You won't recognize half their team by the all star break.

That's true. Even when they'd make the World Series, they had the best offense and no pitching.

The biggest question has Braves fans?

I will give it a shot.

The most awesome Braves season we've had in a long time was 2010, and the Georgia Tech fan started it. But I haven't seen him in a while.

Now I did start the offseason thread and we got the Upton brothers.

as long as your bragging about the O/S thread and the Upton brothers didn't just jinx us, go for it and start it up when April rolls around.

Do we have a clause that says it gets deleted and someone else gets to start another one if we are more than a week out of a playoff spot by the start of June?

Motion approved

eaglegolf018 · 02-12-2013, 09:27 PM

All in favor say I

warriorchief · 02-13-2013, 12:55 AM

Screw that shit, motion carries. Congrats, Eagle.

Metalrush24 · 02-13-2013, 01:14 AM

I say we let Eagle make a spring training thread and see where that goes....

cockyjordan3 · 02-13-2013, 01:51 AM

I object. We all know that this thread will be THE reason that we win it all or fail miserably this year and I do not see where Eagle is qualified to take on this kind of job.

I'm completely joking of course, Eagle is a loyal poster and absolutely deserves a shot.

rnecavs07 · 02-13-2013, 04:04 AM

In all for eagle to take the reigns
