Beltran is a half assed move. They should have ponied up for EE.
It was a half assed move and it wasnt cheap either

So you'd rather have Shuck as your DH? An old veteran?
I'd rather have Charles Tilson playing the OF and whoever at DH. Pick someone off Triple A.
Frankly I dont care that he's 25. He's a bad player and projected to continue to be a bad player because there's so many bad indicators. His defense unless severely limited will be bad as always. His offense really tanked last year. He was actually better the previous year.
It's a waste of time.

Unless we get a lot of guys that are major league ready, he isn't blocking anyone who will be an OF on our next playoff team.
Where was that implied at all?

"But we still have Melky!" -Hawk probably.
Hawk hates sabermetrics so he can go kick rocks
But Melky was -5 in DRS last year...not disastrous...but bad. Eaton basically carried the OF in that statistic.

Gant and Ellis were on the #Braves' 40-man roster last season, and considered among top 15 prospects in organization.

That's pushing it

Sources: Jason Castro has multiple three-year offers. Team that offers fourth year could gain edge. Nick Hundley Plan B for several clubs.

I dont know if this is non White Sox related. Very well could be related.
Listening to that Podcast it seems like the host is trying to suggest the Braves sell the White Sox on quantity instead of quality. That's not happening.
