Padres Have Performed Due Diligence On Ron Washington

I think a player like Ryu is much more plausible but still unlikely. I could see them maybe offering a 1-year deal to Alex Wood.

PseudoStar says stuff like this all the time. He wants the Braves to trade their high level prospects for short term Band-Aid assets. He claims he doesn’t believe the Braves prospects are that good because they are overhyped. He doesn’t like Ian Anderson “because he walks too many hitters.” Ian Anderson doesn’t walk very many hitter at all on a relative MiLB basis at all so I don’t know where he came up with that one. He clearly has never been a scout but somehow believes he knows more than every single major league scout out there even though they have been doing it for decades. He hasn’t said this but my guess is that he would support the idea of trading Ian Anderson’s entire career for what would likely be one single season of Charlie Morton. Not to mention the fact that he thinks the Braves only don’t spend enough money because they are “stupid.” Like there are hundreds of millions of dollars laying around that the Braves are refusing to spend eve though it would bring in great financial returns and the Braves don’t know enough about their own organization to realize it. I think he just wants the Braves to spend a bunch of cash at any cost and trade all of their prospects so he can see what he would envision as the best possible team on the field next year. Then he usually tries to make the Braves sound stupid for not doing what he prefers while not backing it up with statistical facts at all. It seems like he believes that if you aren’t a potential Cy Young candidate you should be in the Braves starting rotation at all no matter what your salary is. He also seems to “dislike” (his own words) some players that are actually very good and never explains why. I think the one that surprised me the most today was Josh Donaldson. He will always complain until the Braves do exactly what he wants all the time. The irony in the whole situation is that if they did that they would lose all of their prospects and have no future payroll to spend (he doesn’t believe the payroll aspect because he thinks Liberty Media will somehow just add $100 million to the payroll every year without question) and the Braves likely wouldn’t win it all anyways. In his opinion the Braves should spend all their future resources to go for it all in one year because everything might go perfect (which it never does in a 162 game schedule). Then when it doesn’t go perfect and the Braves payroll and farm system are screwed for the next decade or so he would still find some reason to blame management like Snitker and call the Braves stupid.
