its weird how before reading this i didn’t know what GFY or BFS meant….but after reading they both popped right into my head….like it was meant to be….
Pujols is NOT God.... sure he'll hit .350, hit 50 bombs, and drive in a 125....but then again...so will Heyward..

Hey 10-4, how quickly can you get face-time with Wren?

So is he trying to prove he's an idiot or what?...
Seriously, we pass on Damon over $5m, but target FUGA? Something there doesn’t add up, and I’m guessing it’s Heyman’s IQ.
For real,
it’s not like there’s a DPH in baseball (designated professional hitter).

You mean last year...
when we had what appeared to be a need for an OF, unlike this year where we have plenty, and for another middle of the order bat (which Anderson wasn’t but had been previously), which is also unlike this year with the signing of Glaus, development of Escobar and Heyward, etc. Yeah, different year, different needs.
by Mr. Sanchez on Feb 23, 2010 10:51 AM EST up reply actions
LOL
There was no reason to bring in FUGA last year, heck, the reason he was available was that everyone else in the game already knew that he was done as a productive player, certainly they knew that he was no “middle of the order bat” anymore. If Wren couldn’t see what everyone else in baseball did last year with regards to FUGA, how do you know that he isn’t getting visions of that one hot month that Anderson had last year in his head and thinking, “Hey, Garret was hurt last year, we could bring him in on the cheap, and he’ll be just as good as that Damon guy I just tried to sign …”
Damon was a leadoff hitter,....
hence the minimal (judging by our offer and what he ultimately accepted) interest. FUGA is not a leadoff hitter. And I think having Melky, McLouth, Heyward, Schafer, and Diaz competing for starting jobs is a little different than last year when it was Diaz, Schafer, Blanco, and Josh Anderson.

I’m just hoping — if not praying — that Heyward will be playing by early June. I can’t really come up with a scenario where he wouldn’t be playing, but there’s always a chance. I’d also love to see Tommy or JJ pitch. I’ve seen Huddy, DLowe, Medlen and KK pitch, so it’d be nice to see a fresh face on the mound.

"Batting second and playing shortstop-he's Cuban. Yeah, his name's Pablo...no, eh, Yunel Escobar, sorry"
Won't happen
Bowman and DOB both had mentions in articles at the end of the season that FUGA wasn’t a good clubhouse guy and didn’t want to be in Atlanta in the first place. The team brass knows this. He won’t be signed by the Braves again.
If Heyward is not ready
Then it may not be such a bad move. If we have to play Melky full time in RF then we will need a LH hitter to platoon with Diaz in LF.
Diaz is better against both RH and LH pitching than Anderson — there is no advantage to platooning Diaz if Anderson is the other option
"If I have asthma, they won't let me scuba. And if I can’t scuba, then what’s this all been about?? What am I working toward??"
Yeah I know that 95% of all Braves fans have been duped into believing that Diaz is the second best hitter in the NL behind Pujols. I’m not convinced.
by homerlanding on Feb 22, 2010 8:05 PM EST up reply actions
…umm, ok. I don’t believe I said he was second to Pujols. I said he was better than Anderson. Big fucking difference there.
Maybe you should check some stats if you don’t believe me:
FUGA 2009
vs. LHP .283/.307/.407/.714
vs. RHP .262/.302/.399/.701
Diaz 2009
vs. LHP .412/.464/.640/1.104
vs. RHP .255 /.349/.400/.749
So, as you can see, Diaz is WAY better against lefties than Anderson and slightly better against righties (all the while bringing better defense to the table too). So, in what way would a Diaz/Anderson platoon serve us?
"If I have asthma, they won't let me scuba. And if I can’t scuba, then what’s this all been about?? What am I working toward??"

Thank you, thank you very much...
…[elvisvoiceoff]
good idea -- for a coach for minor league mgr
I was one who supported last year’s signing of Anderson as the best choice for that amount of money in a year of gradual rebuilding. For a long stretch after he regained his health he provided a valuable bat. But due to the inevitable toll taken on all by age, Anderson’s fielding is no longer acceptable on the major league level.
Garret Anderson’s a solid role model and he has played for some of baseball’s best managers. His experience, temperament, and diligent approach to the game suggest that he might be a good man to have in the organization to help develop younger players. I’m glad the Braves are remaining in contact with him for that reason.
Calm down - Heyman is a huge rumor monger
I guess many of you don’t get this, but while Jon Heyman is a good online writer, he’s an awful guy to follow via Twitter. All he does is pass on rumors with no comment. If someone who knew him said, just to mess with him, that Dale Murphy was coming out of retirement to play for the Braves again, he’d pass it on. Just because Heyman says something on Twitter, that in no way means it’s likely to happen.
Nah
but I would take his VETERANISM
"I think the Tigers really overpaided here" ... 2/21/2010 by Holty_Panthers_Fan on Johnny Damon signing for $8 Million
This poor dog was running toward our good friend MattyD and then he was caught off guard by LOAF professionally gliding towards him. The good thing for poor dog is that he has plenty of time to react.
Sometimes I think that
Heyman is trying to break the world record for “most ridiculous unsubstantiated rumor started merely to cause a team’s fanbase to hyperventilate and bang their heads against the wall.” I mean, he probably knows that we Braves fans all hate him, so I wouldn’t put it past him to start rumors like this just to mess with us.

Does anyone know when BBTN is going to Braves camp? I know they’ve been the the Skankies, Sillies, Fishies, and Cardinals so far…i’d love me some Braves coverage for a change.
Omar Minaya is my hero!
They were covering the Braves on The Show with Jim Bowden and somebody yesterday. They interviewed Bruce Manno, and it was good to hear Braves coverage. Bowden thinks we’ll challenge for the Wild card, and the other guy didn’t feel we’d challenge for anything due to all our “if’s”.
Also, on the news last night, Brian McCann was showing off his Fantasy Football championship belt, which would make the WWE proud. That thing was huge. He was agging Chipper on about it, and Chipper was just shaking his head.
Just good to see the boys again.

They are going to be in the Braves ST on Thursday of this week. It is posted over on the espn.com spring training site.

looks like we signed Salcedo
http://blogs.ajc.com/atlanta-braves-blog/2010/02/21/braves-could-sign-top-shortstop-prospect/
now, where does he fit in our top-5.
Assuming that Heyward starts the year in Atlanta, the top 5, in my eyes, HAS to be
1. Teheran
2. Freeman
3. Vizcaino
4. Salcedo
5. Minor

Minor over Delgado? Teheran jumps Freeman? Salcedo is 4th as an 18 year old having never had a minor league AB? Wha?
i know...
i typed that and said, “i need to stop drinkin’”

more realistic...
1. Freeman
2. Teheran
3. Vizcaino
4. Delgado
5. Minor
however, IF Salcedo plays up to his skills, he will be VERY close to Freeman at the end of the season. With our dearth of positional player depth, I could see the hype train get rolling for Salcedo (especially if he hits well at the Beach, ‘cause if you can hit well there, you’re destined to be a star).

A list without Bethancourt...
is wrong. He will flourish again this season, and become a top prospect (not just in the Bravesd system, but all of baseball).

I think spirits have been so high
about this year, somebody is just trying to bring us down with news like that. Lets not let that happen. Hopefully Frank Wren is smarter than that.
