Well, the season is over, and while we are watching the playoffs, each of us having hopes of a different teams success(m going for the Cubs), here are my thoughts...
If anyone thought ths would this would be a great or good season, I will call them a liar. This wasnt a team designed to win.
I saw the writing on the wall when all the trades were made...
I was ok with the Jason Heyward trade... getting Shelby Miller was a great deal(and also gettng Tyler Jenkins, hopefully he will be as promised)
I was also ok with the Kimbrel Trade.Yes, it sucked seeing him go, but if it was to unload Melvins contract, it was well worth it.
I did question the Gattis Trade...but having AJ made it seem better.
I also understoon the Upton Trade...there was no gurentee that he was going to stay a Brave after this year anyways, so at least we got something for him.
One thing this season did is show that the Braves are just a couple of hitters away(and getting Shelby run support)and an arm or 2 in the bullpen.
Most experts pinned the Braves at a 100+ loss team, and they stayed under that.
Im not looking for a big improvement next year, maybe a 75-80 loss team... but then it will be awesome again
