Worth the read just for this comment to the article:

Good comments Jeff. To elaborate, let’s go down the lineup:

1B: Kotchman: good glove, low impact bat. HIs RBI numbers, when it counts are pathetic.

2B: Johnson: not a second baseman. Stevie Wonder could see that. Why can’t Cox?

SS: Escobar: million dollar arm, ten-cent brain.

3B: Jones: Part-time player

LF: G. Anderson: Did any Braves exec actually see this guy play last year?

M Diaz: "A" for effort, but not an everyday starter.

CF: McLouth: Why would the Pirates part with this guy? I think we’ll find out.

RF: Francoeur: See Escobar, above.

C: McCann: Best hitter on team, catching will cut his career short.

C: Ross: Deserves more AB’s. Find a spot for him.

PH: Norton: Retired during off-season, didn’t tell anyone.

IF: Prado: Backup infielder, nothing more.

IF: Infante: 2nd best hitter on team, no one told Bobby.

SP: Lowe & Vazquez:: Serviceable, not big-game pitchers.

Jurrjens: Hope we don’t screw him up.

Kawakami: Adequate, overpaid.

Hanson: See Jurrjens, above.

RP: Soriano, Gonzalez: See Lowe, Vazquez above.

Moylan: Probably headed to DL, where all failed relievers go under Cox.

Bennett: Not a big-game pitcher.

Medlen: Not a big league pitcher.

Acosta: See Medlen.

Yeah…they saw a guy who was a better hitter than anybody we played in the OF.

I’m sorry, but I can’t take this doomsday garbage seriously, even if it has a grain of truth,

more from jeff schultz and the “braves bashing” beat… seriously, does that guy ever have anything positive to say?

One of the comments:

Me and Jeff went to school together and was good freinds since we’re little boys playing ball. Jeff could always hit the ball far but I was the one with good grades and he got most of the girls because he could always hit when we was playing ball in school together. Jeff is still real smart and he can figure this problem out if everbody will just leave him alone and not upset him because he used to get upset when we’re little boys playing ball. I remember a game against Brookwood where he got so mad and cried so hard that his chest was heaving and something was coming out of his nose and the umpire made him change shirts and some of the girls left and wouldn’t come back even when we wanted to go to the Dairy Queen with them after the game. I think that is the problem right now and I am going to text him and let him know that I think that he should know how to fix it if he won’t get upset when he cant pull the ball like he did when we was young except that game when the girls left and wouldn’t come back so we could go to the Dairy Queen and Jeff couldn’t pull the ball and he failed a test the next day. Well, I agree that being the hometown boy can be a distraction for everbody and that he might do better with an American League team. I don’t think they would like him in New York though because of the girls leaving when the fans see him get his chest heaving like he did at that game when we was young. I can tell you some more Jeff S. if it will help you write some more positive storys about Jeff F. that can mention his old freind Sonny that played some first and some third and was on a couple of different teams that he was the star and I was probably his best freind in the world back then when we was playing together. We was younger and Jeff could pretty much get away with anything as long as the ball team was winning and scoring a lot of runs because the girls would come back to see the long ball and Jeff could hit the ball out most of the time if he got a good pitch when we was playing ball together. Parkview is a pretty smart school and Jeff and I did good. He’ll figure this out and then watch out for him hitting like Hank Arron. I enjoy this blog because I like to read your stuff in here.

I think if you read down a bit you can tell that its satirical, but in any case, its a riot!
