Compensation picks

Braves still have a bright future and I can't wait until they are back on top. I grew up watching them (TBS) because they were/are my bro's favorite team so I like to see them succeed.

Yeah, it sucks not having much of a farm system. Oh well, at least I have Porcello and Crosby to follow.

He traded away Dye, Schmidt, Wainwright, (guys who have proven themselves) and guys like Salty, Andrus, Harrison and Feliz (who I think will range from being good to great) for one or two year rentals (actually, in the case of Dye, for a utility IF and a 4th OF).

Well to be technical, the Salty trade ended up netting you Kotchman, who isn't a rental.

Yeah, but Kotchman isn't exactly a budding star.
