It has been reported that the Tartans recently released 1B Mariano Lima and 1B Stan Towers. Both players were arbitration eligible.
Team owner Randy Benoit had this to say, "our baseball operations staff felt that both Mariano and Stan did not fit into our organization's plans for this season, with arbitration negotiations approaching we needed to make a decision and both Mariano and Stan were on the wrong side of it...Honestly a couple of other guys better reconsider the type of dollars they are asking for because as Mariano and Stan know we're not taking any crap!"
This type of attitude should be exactly what the fans of Atlanta want to hear.

Strategic Insight
(This area of the blog will be used to record key insights learned in the Branch Rickey World.)
In no specific order:
1.) Don't under estimate the value of a good coaching staff, they can turn a dud into a competitive squad, etc.
2.) Pitching settings are one of the most important controls in the game: particularly the Call Bullpen setting, which can dramatically improve any pitchers performance (use it to reward good ERAs/WHIPs and improve bad ones).
3.) Pick a strategy that is unique and one that you can live with. (If you are in for the long haul then consider going young early, or you want to earn a free season get big league talent, just make sure you won't have regrets when your minor league system sucks.)
