Last year it seemed like AA cleared out the 40 man for a specific direction and then things changed and he had to adjust (this is a complete projection on my part). Could this be happening again? Where AA has a strong idea where he wants to go but then he might have to adjust again? Between Hackenburg or Braun who would you think has the best chance to get called up to Atlanta to stay? Also what would you give the odds of Morton coming back next year. I know a bunch of people are down on Morton, but I feel if he takes 8 or so it will be a done deal. It seems like getting the starting pitching(2) and maybe a left fielder or SS seem like absolutes. So we should probably look forward to 3 big reliever contracts incoming? Thanks again for your work. More people should be reading it.
