Sorry a while back I inquired about myers and was told they could be dealt and the money separated.  I guess the RC changed since then.

I have proposed that the Brayves receive the $4m RS money toward Milton in exchange for an additional $4m toward Mclouth in 2010.  Totaling $5m in 2010.  This is a revenue nuetral solution.

Braves to confirm if in agreement.

That is an excellent solution as nothing in the trade changes.

Shouldn't the RS money follow Milton to ATL. We (RC) decided that money should stay with the contracts. FLA sent the RS money with Bradley, to the A's. After Parker brothers, er Milton Bradley was sent to ATL I would think this would be an instance where that would hold true to form.

I thought about raising that an issue, but I processed the trade without the RS money.  I did this because we have had moves in the past where RS money didn't follow.  I am moving this back to the open transactions board to see what Rob and Aubrey say.  Perhaps they will agree on the RS money moving?

   Good analysis on both sides of this deal.  Let's see how this one works out for the Braves.  A's sure get primed for a playoff run.

A keen observation indeed...

Rebuttal: A.) Last yr was his rookie season. Almost all rookie pitchers go through a workload increase during their rookie season due mainly to the length of the MLB season. B.) He is 6'4" 235 lbs. Need I say more? The guy has a huge frame and is capable of being a workhorse. C.) His workload was 175 IP, which really isn't even that high. Then add the fact that he had only 150 K's (he wasn't pitching 3-5 pitches an AB to get the K along with being a GB pitcher). If that weren't enough, his WHIP was pretty good at 1.2.

I give up a premier young arm in Anderson.  His innings increase 2008 - 2009 and high slider % worry me.

A keen observation indeed...
