Some ideas on what the Braves should do this offseason, in order of priority.
Dump Fat Gimp. I suspect a team like the Royals would take him if the Braves paid most of his salary. If not, release the guy. I’d rather pay him not to be on the team than put up with another year of atrocious defense, undisciplined hitting and minimal effort.
It shouldn’t be either/or regarding Kemp and Markakis. Kemp has to go. I’d be fine with dealing Markakis, as well, but considering the team’s needs, and next year’s deep free agents class, the Braves are probably better off keeping Markakis, platooning him with Lane Adams.
