Who should be the setupman in 07?

[lavell12]

I say it should be someone else via trade or free agency. But if we go with someone on the current roster I have to say Devine because he has the best stuff and wast nasty toward the end of the year.

[McCarroll21]

Drew, why don't you move these to the main board and actually get some discussion out of it?

And good call leaving McBride out of the poll... *sigh*

[Nasadega]

I voted Devine, just because I couldn't vote for the others (I'd rather setup myself than see Yikes do it) and I don't see the braves trading for that. But we all know it's gonna be yikes, bobby loves him

[vnodnarb]

i'd go with mcbride if we cant find a cheap outside option

[Vuchato]

where's Wickman?

If Wickman is setting up, who's the closer?

[Adam's Army]

where is McCay McBride on this list

Kind of what I was thinking, but look at who started the poll. :)

McBride not being there and Cormier appearing on the list is very strange.

Lidge? Smoltz? Hudson? I dunno, why not?

Ohhhhkkkkaaaayyyyyyyyy..... If you didn't vote for someone else and voted instead for Mr. Grandslam/ Tyler "OMFGHESUCKS" Yates, im a come over there and slap you....

[lavell12]

I should add Reitsma for all those Yates voters.

[KB 34]

If the poll read who should setup for the RICHMOND Braves it would have been so much easier as that's the perfect spot for Yates to get control over his upside. Since it does read Atlanta, JS needs to get someone else. Maybe Boyer or Devine proves capable to but must we go through another 2006 bullpen disaster?

[Chief Knockahoma]

:( w/Yates.

but maybe he'll make me look like an ass (like Aybar did).

[McCarroll21]

I edited the poll to include Macay McBride. Basically because I got tired of seeing Cormier as an option without McBride being listed.

[Maddog84555]

Has to be Devine...and no the braves will not trade or sign a key setup man via free-agency...because WE SUCK

The only thing thats going to change about the Atlanta Braves from 06 to 07 is that we will lose some good players and gain nothing like in other years...nothing new for us die hard braves fans who are TIRED of FUCKING losing.

:D Okay, sorry for bumping this but a spider was looking at it and made me want to see how much of a drastic change has been made between then and now.

Looking good.

Well, the poll was created in October. I bumped it up yesterday because I just wanted everyone to be aware of how much change has actually taken place by only adding two players.

[jschafer5]

That really clears things up...Thanks, McCarroll

Haha, yeah. I saw this thread and the poll and was like WTF? Man, shows you just how much our 'pen has improved. None of those guys are really in contention to be our setup guy. Nice.
