Bench warming
That’s a lot of bench players in today’s lineup. Could it be that the usual lineup is being used more against NL pitchers so that they can learn from it? And therefore get their day off against an AL team?
I think that there is some truth to that.
I know that Chipper has said he is playing Tuesday to get a look at Halladay. At the moment, Chipper is resting a bruised thumb.
I just jammed my thumb playing volleyball...
and it hurts like a son of a bitch. So I feel Larry Wayne’s pain….
That shit's the worst
I did the same thing last weekend chasing down my dog before he ate something, and that junk hurts like a sunuvabitch. I’ve still got the blood-under-the-nail to prove it.
can’t wait for tommorow night’s game on CSS, hopefully i can find a good stream and watch it and relax, i cant wait to watch these things live
It's on MLB Network...
…live tomorrow night as well, I think.
very nice

I may be the only one left
But I’m really hoping JoJo can finally put it all together this year. I know he doesn’t have a spot on the rotation, but I’m almost hoping he would be the 6th man in case someone needed a rest. If he blows it, then he’s fair game to be sent off. But he’s still young and hopefully he’s learned from his past mistakes, i.e. not listening to veteran help.
I agree with you…I enjoyed watching him pitch in Gwinnett last year and I still have a warm spot for all lefty’s and I think we definitely need a lefty in the rotation. However, I think JoJo has ruined his SP chance for us in the rotation going forward and I think his role with the Braves will only be as long relief in the bullpen which is probably what’s suited for him. If we trade him another team would give him a starting chance I’m sure.

And it’s the work week and I’m back to listening to games in the office. :-)
I’ll try to provide whatever play by play I can. I did notice over the weekend that Wes Timmons got into one of the games late and even got an AB. He was a favorite player of my wife and I last year at Gwinnett and it’s good to see him at Spring Training with the Braves again this year. I’d like for him to get a callup mid season if there are injuries like Reid Gorecki got last year, just to give him a taste of the majors. He’s a great player and a heck of a hustler on the field and can play multiple positions…he’s fun to watch.

It’s sad that the YES network broadcasts all of the Yankee games, but here in Atlanta we don’t have a station that can broadcast all of the Braves games. Peachtree TV should broadcast the damn Spring Training games…better than what they broadcast during the day I’m sure.
Right. The Braves oughta give away the ST broadcast rights for free — just to promote their own product for the season to come. You build a fan base by expanding the options for delivery.
I don’t think they should give them away, but there are 3 different stations here in Atlanta that broadcast games for the Braves…I’m sure one of them could air a few ST games as well.
It's not feasible business-wise.
Even if the rights were cheap or free (which they likely are), the production costs of airing a game are higher than the crap Peachtree runs during the day, and the ratings are so low either way that the ad money wouldn’t change. YES probably loses on their broadcasts as well, but it helps build the Yankees and being a fully owned subsidiary of the Yankees, it makes sense.
Surely though
Sportssouth or Fox Sports could improve their ratings over the garbage day time programming they carry by airing more spring training games.
which is where TBS comes into play...
oh, wait, we lost that automatic ability to have a major media platform under the same corporate roof.
melky question
when he is in the game…..where does he fit in our lineup? top of the order or bottom? Where did he play in NY?
In the Yankees lineup...
…he often batted ninth, but that was because there was no pitcher and they were loaded, so he was one of those sort of second leadoff hitter ninth hitters often. I am not sure where he fit in the lineup when a backup catcher was in or a backup infielder.
7-9
They hit him 7th, 8th, or 9th. I would think that’s where he would hit in our lineup, as well. Either behind Yunel or Heyward in the 8th spot. I’m sure that’s where Matty D will hit, too when he’s in LF
It’s interesting that the Yankees played him in all 3 OF spots regularly last year. He was mainly used in CF, but got a lot of time in RF and LF.
What’s also really interesting is how much better he was in RF and CF than Left.
I think that was small sample size...
…Melky’s being better in RF and CF than LF. Everything I have heard scouting wise is that he is an average CF and a bit above average in right or left, which makes sense.
I just read on Van’s facebook page that someone commented about them converting him to a pitcher. It is not a bad idea as he does have a great arm from what I remember seeing him throw the ball over to first from last year.

Good health in my eyes...
Heyward, McCann, Glaus, Chipper, etc throughout their careers have shown good plate discipline and a propensity to take a walk. If the lineup stays relatively healthy, with the depth at Cox’s disposal, there is a lot of talent to work with, even if players just tend to produce in line with their career averages.
Love our patience at the plate thus far!

I know there is no real scientific evidence for this...
..but doesn’t it seem that with all the attention of our team (and all of baseball) on Heyward and his approach, all of the Braves hitters seem more patient this spring? (Well, other than Chipper, and he’s just getting his hacks in, we know he’ll get his walks.) If that is true (which it probably isn’t) that is amazing for a kid to have that kind of effect on a team.

Braves offense
Shut out the other day, but the Braves offense looks really good this year. If Chipper and McKouth will get started, it’s going to be fun to watch.
Just read the MLBTR Offseason Review
Everyone is upset about the Vazquez trade but personally i think that the additions we made with the money we saved from trading him will help this team a lot more. especially when you factor in the prospects in the deal.
completely agree
1 year of Vazquez….we can resign him next year if need be
I still don’t know if resigning Hudson knowing that Vazquez would potentially have to be dealt was the right move, but what are you gonna do, right?

Alright, lunch time. While I’m gone I have a question for your fantasy baseball players.
How early are you planning on reaching for Heyward in the draft? If you’re involved in a TC league and don’t want to tip your draft strategy don’t worry about answering, but my big money league is a round-protected keeper league and I imagine he’ll be drawing alot of attention. Not sure how early I should target him.

In a standard mixed league
I just took him with the first pick of the 16th round. That’s probably a bit high, but his ADP on Yahoo! is 212, and I wasn’t going to have the chance at the end of the 17th.
I’d definitely look at him by the end of the 16th/early 17th round.
Thanks…16th round is doable, I assumed he would be actually going higher than that.

I’ll add that I’m a keeper league as well, and we haven’t drafted yet but I wouldn’t reach beyond our fourth drafting round (which is round 15 after keepers are allotted). In a mixed league there’s still depth to be found in the first few rounds, but he’s not a true sleeper so I wouldn’t wait till the late rounds if you’re truly intent on owning him- in a keeper league he has good value even if he doesn’t start from day one, so I’d say first 3-4 rounds in my scenario.
In a keeper league,...
that definitely enhances his value, and I’d target him as early as I could afford it depending on the team’s other needs/holes to be filled.
And while I’m in a TC league, I’ll tip my hand. He ain’t lasting past round 3 gentleman.
and with teh 1st overall pick, Albert Pujols goes to the…wait a minute…no Pujols? HEYWARD??/ REALLY?

In Yahoo mock drafts
I’ve been successfully grabbing him in the 17th or 18th rounds. The earliest I’ve seen someone stretch for him is in the 14th round, but that was the same guy who took Chase Utley instead of Albert Pujols with the first pick of the draft. I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess that isn’t exactly relevant data.

Well
You could make a case for taking Utley first, but the 14th is too early for Heyward. I wouldn’t take him there even if I knew it was my only chance to grab him.
I'm not talking about his first round pick...
I’m talking about the VERY FIRST PICK of the draft. #1. Yeah, okay, position scarcity, I understand that there is some logic to support the pick… but if Albert is available, I’m taking him. Period.
by kidnarcolepsy on Mar 8, 2010 2:55 PM EST up reply actions
Just saying
The Utley pick isn’t insane. You’re not getting close to his production out of any other 2B, but you could come back down and take Adrian Gonzalez at the end of the second round and still get 40HRs. Or Kendry Morales even later than that and he’ll probably give you 30+ HRs with lots of RBIs.
I’m taking Pujols, but I can understand it.
It's funny, but
that was exactly the same scenario I was running through in my head. Utley/Gonzalez vs. Pujols and (Pedroia or Kinsler or Zobrist). I dunno. I still like the team with Pujols better, personally, but now that I’ve fiddled around with it, that’s not too bad.
The guy who inspired this post grabbed up Joe Nelson with his second round pick, and Josh Beckett with his 3rd round. I hope he was just play-testing his player rankings.

I hope this doesn't mean that something is wrong with Glaus.
It is only the second inning; of course, Glaus is already 2-2.
well
i think its because of the amount of AB’s they are getting. Later in ST he’ll be in the whole game

They just mentioned how Freeman is built similar to Troy Glaus. I’m sure once Freeman bulks up more he will be about the size of Troy.
I really hope that they start Freeman at AAA this year….can’t wait to see him again (saw him in Rome a couple of years ago during his great season there).
AA
So I can see him in May in Chatt, then up to AAA
Yea, for Chattonooga. :)
I would love to get to see him up close and personal.

Braves need to start their own pickup Basketball team
Glaus – 6’5
Freeman – 6’5
Heyward – 6’6
Chipper – 6’4
McCann – 6’3
Lowe – 6’6
Hanson – 6’6
There was this skills challenge between big and little Mac on BBTN last night
McCann can’t shoot worth a crap either-Nate pwned him.
Conrad with a great diving stop up the middle and throws out the batter at first…(seen him do this a lot at Gwinnett…think of this:
DOB says Tom Verducci of SI is covering the Braves today

would be funny
if Prado struggles and Conrad takes over at 2B by going on a tear
The 2B rotation just doesnt stop lol
It could happen, but Conrad isn’t as consistent as Prado, and he’s never been. Prado has always hit at every level, where Brooks hasn’t ever hit that great, but he does enough to get by. He’s a very scrappy player, and very good.
Prado has actually outplayed his minor-league numbers by quite a bit so far – hence some of our hesitancy about him.

In slugging sure...
although that may just be due to physical maturation improving strength, as it has gone from an average of .393 to .451 in the bigs. But his avg and obp have remained pretty close—minors over 6 seasons .300/.353, while so far in the bigs—.307/.361. Doesn’t seem like he’s “outplayed his minor-league numbers by quite a bit” other than slugging, which again may be a product of physically maturing and getting old man strong.
This should be good between Heyward and Willis

I love the Gwinnett alternate jersey with its Beer League quality. Who made them, Joe’s Trophies down at the strip mall?
"Matt Diaz is a baseball player."-Joe Simpson
I don’t know…but I don’t care for them. My wife bought one for me last year because it was 75% off…it’s fun to wear to the games though. The only downside is that it’s really long so I have to tuck it in. It’s definitely not the same quality as the Atlanta Braves BP jersey which is my favorite shirt to wear to the games (it’s nice and cool).
I know i wouldn't wanna take BP after him..

might i remind you guys...
conrad went 0 for 22 to end the season last year. ops at .666.
hitting spring training fastballs has never been his weakness. however, i do like conrad and hope he can become a dan uggla type of late bloomer. they have similar minor league numbers, however uggla is/was with a team that could allow him to bloom into a player because they really had no playoff expectations and no superior player blocking him. conrad has always been blocked. it’d be interesting to see what kind of numbers conrad could put up on a regular basis…but not with the braves.

I think we just saw what happens...
when Heyward catches up to something in the first inning!
Well, if the Braves management wasn't lying...
…when they said they would give him a chance to earn the job, he is in pretty good shape. They could still keep him down for financial reasons, however, and if he cools off by the end of spring, they might have an excuse.
After reading a couple articles on the issue, I imagine we’ll treat him like the Rays did Longoria, and he’ll be in Gwinnet for the first couple weeks of the season.
So

Ross is unreal,
I really like this guy.
When asked what aspects of Heyward’s game need improvement, one scout simply replied, "Nothing."
and for having such a good bat
he is a stud defensively too.
I personally think he should be Tommy Hanson’s personal catcher. Tommy is slow to the plate and Rossy will be able to stop the runners from constantly running on him. BMac gets his rest and our lineup doesnt take too much of a hit.

Zero percent chance heyward starts in ATL
He’s 100 percent getting the longoria treatment. What do you want 60Abs of 20 year old Heyward or 600 ABs of 26 year old Heyward?
by Colombianconnection on Mar 8, 2010 2:40 PM EST reply actions
There is far more than a zero percent chance.
For one thing, we assume that we’ll sign him long term before then and aren’t too concerned. (We’ll give him the Longoria treatment in that way.) Second, the incentive currently isn’t there to give him the Longoria treatment—-Bobby likes him and is in his final season; Liberty owns the Braves as a tax write-off and will sell them far before six years from now, so they don’t care either.
yea but everything you're saying is speculative
Liberty Bank doesn’t care because they might not own them and we might give him a long contract. As sad as it is this is purely a business and with that you work on guarantees. Do I think the braves will give him the Mccann Or Longoria contract? Absolutely. But do I think the Braves will take a risk in not sending him to AAA for a couple of weeks to control him for another year? God no. You send him there for 2-3 weeks (not the Hanson super 2) and then call him up.
by Colombianconnection on Mar 8, 2010 2:47 PM EST up reply actions
but you're right
The only way I can see that not happening is if Bobby makes a stand.
by Colombianconnection on Mar 8, 2010 2:49 PM EST up reply actions
And I think Bobby will.
Hell, Bobby had to be convinced to give Heyward a rest day yesterday. And I don’t think Heyward’s performance today will cool Bobby off, to say the least.
And the game suddenly gets far less interesting...
….with Cleven coming in to play right last inning. I know it is early and all the starters leave early, but I want my excitement!
seems like everyone takes off once Heyward goes out lol

Fangraphs just did another follow-up on the Chipper Jones swinging at first pitches thing
Turns out Chipper does exactly what he claims-he swings at first pitches when there’s a good pitcher, so he doesn’t get behind, but not as much for poor pitchers.
All other hitters seem to swing very rarely at first pitches, regardless of pitcher quality.
So when Chipper doesn’t swing at your first pitch, you know you’re not worth his time. Awesome.
