I think that it can get to people when the rosterbation is either unrealistic, uninformed, or both. I’m not too keen on it either, but I’m exhausted and bored with braves on the brain.

then I’ll consider it a success…hahaha

like i said, kotch-rocket in the 2-hole isn’t perfect. but I’d rather he be the one to loose an AB every other game to a foolish sac bunt attempt.

forgot about Blanco, to be honest…good point. he would be especially important if the team signs a defensive liability like Dunn.

me likey

But Glavine had a contract option like this with the Mets. Lowe would pay the buyout, yes.

No. He wouldn’t. Like I said this is kind of a blend between what I’d like to see done and what I expect to happen in reality. If it was MY decision I’d jettison Francoeur to the Royals then make a trade for Nady, Swisher or Ankiel.

I think Campillo or Morton is far more likely to have a rotation spot than Glavine this spring. What’s the point of bringing back Glavine when you can spend less, get equal or better production, and have a lower injury risk with either of these two? Also, why would you put Campillo back in the ‘pen when he did so well as a starter last year? Sure, he’ll regress eventually (and he was showing signs of this at the end of last season), but in my opinion, you keep ‘em in the rotation until you are sure you can’t. Morton and Hanson both get to continue to develop in AAA if you have a rotation of Lowe, Vazquez, Jurrjens, Kawakami, Campillo, and if we don’t get Lowe, then Morton becomes our #5.

That Anderson’s production will be higher than Andruw’s this year.

Yeah, that certainly could be a problem if we have Chipper/Dunn/McCann as the core of the lineup. Bookending that with Kotchman and Johnson can’t happen.
