Hello all

Just stopping by to check in and get your thoughts on the Crawford & Rocco rumors flying around.

Do you think 1 of them will really, finally get delt or is this just more talk and nothing with come of it.

I know my Braves are very interested in both, if they are indeed on the market, but I have my doubts that they really are.

I know you need pitching and we have plently of young pitching to give.

Thoughts and any news on this would be appreciated.

There is an adage about making a trade with the Braves for pitching help -- something that ends in a remark NOT to do a deal.

I think the Crawford rumors are just speculation but the Baldelli rumors have substance -- while I love Rocco, he's proven to be brittle.

That being said, don't expect either player moved. If Rocco was being actively shopped, it would have to be for a windfall... and if Rocco got a windfall return, Crawford would take a return twice that size.
