LaRoche says Braves haven't contacted him

"No talk from ATL that I know of. Guess I should have hit .400 while I was there."

Dude needs some perspective...

… LaRoche is a second-half player. Nobody is going to be clamoring for a guy who isn’t going to wake up until the trade deadline.,

Oh, Bobby.

Adam has a point

This front office need to brush up on their people skills. Is it really that hard to make a phone call & say yeah we would be interested at a certain price or no move on?

I agree with you man. Or at the very least, call and say we are moving in a different direction. Just ignoring a player is just plain stupid. That’s the biz I suppose.

Ummm…maybe they just aren’t interested. FW has repeatedly said that they are looking for a RH bat. Adam is a LH bat.

Maybe if Adam’s demand wasn’t so high for a guy who has proven that he is a second half player, then the Braves and other teams would be interested in signing the guy.

People don't seem to mind it in Teixiera.

He OPSes almost 100 points higher after the break.

Overheard in press box, from local reporter: 'If this Moore kid was any good, they'd be up 31-0 right now.'

But, he goes from like 1.300 to 1.400…lol

Tex for his career: 1st half, .882; 2nd half, .968. 86 point difference.
LaRoche for his career: 1st half, .773; 2nd, half .909. 136 point difference.

It’s not really comparable. Tex’s 1st half is almost as good as LaRoche’s 2nd half and the difference between his 1st and 2nd is less.
