Amen to that !

I think we have to but Heyward and Freeman on a faster track, and give Freeman an outfielder’s glove. Time has come to find the next Chipper Jones at the draft.

You want to put critical prospects on fast tracks yet complain when the likes of Reyes/Medlen/Schafer struggle as a result of being rushed?

This.

Not sure that I have ever complained about Reyes, Medlen or Schafer being rushed. All I have suggested, given our offensive struggles at the big league level, that our two best hitting prospects be moved on a “faster” track.

Sweet

All we have to do is find the next Chipper Jones? Awesome ! Why didn’t anyone say this before? It’s so easy and clear now what the team needs.

FAIL.

Of course its not...

easy, but maybe we look for the best hitting prospect at the next few drafts instead of another good young high school arm.

Sutton is obviously right

Of course, Sutton is right that there are too many ‘outs’ in the Braves’ lineup. A huge part of the problem is that the middle of the order comes up with no ducks on the pond because one of the ‘outs’ in the lineup is batting leadoff.
