Um, that’s pretty much Simmons’ line at the plate.

I would redo that trade with the Angels in a second though

Really? Assuming you’re a braves fan, it looked like a steal for Atlanta at the time, and still does. Simmons is a beast defensively, but he’s got to be one of the most overrated players in the game
davidcoonce74
you just said two things that are diametrically opposed. Simmons ‘ defense alone wins games. If you win games you are not overrated.

How many games were the Braves winning with him?
jp08
More than they win without him…. Nice try
ryanw-2
As many as 7 with him as opposed to without him. Try harder.

Who thought it was a steal? Ayber was coming off a down year and on the wrong side of 30. Simmons produced the better OPS, is much younger and on a team friendly contract and with obviously much more upside. From where I sat at the start of the season, the Braves could have done better.

I am a Braves fan, I don’t care if he is a 220 hitter, look how many games is he going to win by all the plays he makes. I live 5 hours away from Atlanta, I love to watch him, his preparation, hustle, and when he gets the ball and fires the cannon over to first base. I still watch them but am not planning on going over there this year. Andrelton is worth the price of admission, you see him everywhere on the field. He is the reason I went. Saying that I am a high school coach, not in the college or pro and that may be why, but to me I miss Simbad

But you got Aybar who is a gem all by himself *snickers*
olereb
I hope Aybar gets his walking papers, soon

As a Braves fan i would gladly take Simmons back. Too early to judge the deal just like its too early to judge Simmon’s bat. Remember how bad Brandon Crawford used to be at hitting. Give me the athlete that leads the world in defense
GeauxRangers
That’s actually a good point about Crawford.

Speed and defense show up everyday and give teams confidence when they have trouble scoring. Simmons is fun to watch as a fan.

Simmons was on pace for a 6 dWAR at BR when he went down…
