i think they've forced themselves into a position where they *have* to finally spend some money on the team because of the new stadium deal. people down here are fuckin' pissed about that shit. all the politicians that agreed to it are gonna lose their jobs. putting a winner on the field will go a long way towards repairing that mess. they've been handing out long-term deals like candy the last couple of weeks. the radio jocks were already preaching the doomsday message about the braves having to trade kimbrel after next season because of arbitration. we've done nothing but lose star after star over the last 10 years, so it's a welcome change
Yeah their plan is shit if you're thinking long term but they are the ultimate "win-now" team. They finished 85-77 last season with Teixiera, Granderson, Jeter, Arod and Youkilis out for more than half the season. If Jeter and Teixeira come back strong and these new contracts pay off this season, they'll make it deep into the playoffs.
