Weird that Joel Carreno is a FA when he's never left the Jays system...

Really? He's fast, outstanding outfielder, consistent hitter and he's one of the best lead off hitters and a good all round player. I can see why they rated him a 91

If he is still a free agent looks like I'll probably sign Scott Rolen to fill the hole at third for the Braves post Chipper. That will give me a year or two for some of the younger guys to develop or acquire a third baseman via trade, draft, or free agency.

I remember SCEA did this with previous roster updates in the past. I believe this has something to do with 40 man rosters on teams being full, but I could be wrong on this.

Why are the overalls so inflated???? Contreras an 85? Wow.

Consistent hitter? In the first half of last season he was God offensive and the 2nd half he was one of the worst hitters in baseball. He's not that good of a hitter overall and 150 plus strikeouts as a leadoff hitter with few walks is not a good leadoff hitter. He's a career .272 hitter. That really screams great leadoff hitter. I'm one of the few Braves fans that wanted no part of re-signing Bourn and I'm so glad he's gone.

maybe consistent wasn't the right word to use. I really do think he is one of the better lead off hitters though I do agree with you that I am happy we didn't re sign him and save a huge salary.

And so, those of us who dislike ratings numbers instead of bars, we present a thread full of our evidence as to why.
