Dodgers Justice Department Investigation remains ongoing, from what I understand. I think it's more likely (given the timeline of their Int'l director/staff at the time) something that occurred during the year they acquired Olivera, Alvarez, etc.

A.J. Pollock now up with 66 hard hits for the Dodgers this season. Only Seager and Betts more.

The Braves had to cut loose all their prospects from the Coppy thing

Is Will Smith a perennial All Star?

Is he the 2nd best offensive catcher in baseball behind JTR now?
AvatarAriel Cohen

Will Smith though in 2021 won't get as many ABs as some other catchers. Dodgers will be a favorite to make the postseason and will get plenty of off-days.
DH could factor in somewhat for Smith in 2021, if the NL keeps it.

Yeah, then they can carry Keibert, too

Was maddening having Will Smith on my fantasy team and checking the line ups to see Austin Barnes starting every other day
AvatarAriel Cohen

Not as great a fantasy asset as his skill indicates because of the ABs that I just mentioned. Currently, I have him behind Perez and Contreras for 2021.

Are you ignoring d'Arnaud/ He was outstanding this year and will play most of the games if there is a DH.
AvatarAriel Cohen
9:34
d'Arnuad lower still. But he's a top-10 catcher for 2021. Matters if he will continue to bat mid-lineup.

Will Smith is a perennial All-Star. Great slider.

Will Smith learned his slider when he was in Double-A with the Royals. A fellow lefty named Kevin Chapman showed him the grip.

For fantasy, batting cleanup on the Braves 2021 squad is a very good spot to be in.

Dansby Swanson up now - had the 3rd highest number of barrels this season on the Braves after Ozuna and Freeman.
19 barrels for a 11.4% barrel%

AJ Minter...Phil Coke?
AvatarDavid Laurila

Phil Coke had a huge game-ending strikeout in the 2012 ALCS. Fanned Raul Ibanez, who had been Arozarena hot. The vertical break of Coke’s slider averaged just over two inches that year, and the one he threw to Ibanez dove more than five inches.

Austin Riley one of the only Braves hitters below a 100 wRC+ this season.  Nick Markakis was the other. That's a great lineup.
9:41
Riley with a big RBI. He was batting just .171 this postseason before tonight's game.

Great read by Albies

Albies is so electric
AvatarAriel Cohen

His line-drive stroke is what sets him apart for me.
Love his hitting style.

It looks like <3 is going to be the right answer to how long Gonsolin will be in there.

Treinen was non tendered by Oakland last winter, $10 mil deal with LAD. Gonna be lots of guys like this next year.
AvatarAriel Cohen

How good for the Braves team does Albies's 7-year $35m contract that he signed prior to the 2019 season look?
Eric A Longenhagen
9:45
Yeah, not a great look for his agent, tho
AvatarAriel Cohen

Could be one of the most team-friendly contracts in baseball's history by some measure.
