We faced Livan, I outlined just what I thought about him and someone felt compelled to go all Dungy on me, so tonight I won’t talk about what a scummy POS he really is and what we should do to his oversized gleuts.

we could say the same of them getting Oswalt
while he is a really good starter, they only got him because they knew their starting rotation could not come close to ours
even with Oswalt, ours has still been better
talk about desperate

I wouldn't either
neither Lee or Oswalt are, I was referring to making the move out of desperation
We all know the Phillies starters could not match ours, so they were desperate to make that deal.

I feel sorry for him at times. He’s not even correcting Chip anymore – like last night when Chip said bases were loaded and there were just 2 on. I imaging him sitting there at the mic shaking his head and wondering how many more days til PTV.

That seems rather unfair
Crawford has been stellar 4 out of the past 5 years. 2008 was rough for him, but he was hurt a lot that year. Other than that, his numbers are almost exactly identical. In fact, they’re actually a bit down this year.
I’ll take Werth if we’re going to sign someone. Just my opinion. I’ve never been crazy about Crawford.

by BravesFan2010 on Aug 18, 2010 7:56 PM EDT up reply actions
You're still failing
Chippers SLG% was .426. League average is about .430 at third base, so basically average. Chippers OBP was excellent, at .381, well above the third base average of .340. OBP is more correleated with run scoring that slugging, so Chipper, with his average SLG and well above average OBP, was having a well above average season. You’ve been spoiled by how awesome Chipper’s career has been.

for me it’s either him or Dale.
"If I’m batting behind him (Heyward), I tell the umpire, ‘Will you please check that ball,’" Diaz said. "And he’d be like, ‘It didn’t hit the dirt.’ And I’d go, ‘It might be flat.’ He hits the ball so stinking hard."

sweet start
"If I was Freeman I would hope to be traded because apparently Troy Glaus injured and in a slump is better than Freeman healthy. Sucks for Freeman kid deserves to be on the big league team."
Well did you honestly expect us to lead the division by 7 games for the entire season?

DLee could become a Type A FA
if he has a big September, according to a few reports. That would be sweet.

Do we risk offering arb though?
to a 34 year old 1B? that would be due huge money

If he’s Type A, without a doubt.

Soriano was a type A
and we could not afford him at 7 million

then we’ll just dump him for another mop up guy!

This is the worst case scenario. It’s worth the risk.

could scare teams off from signing him though
and I don’t think we want him accepting arbitration like Soriano. It would be nice to get a 1st and a supplemental though, because that would allow us to sign a Werth-type player without worrying about not having a 1st round pick
not sure we have to worry about that though
Werth etc… out of our price range

you never know though
If Chipper doesn’t feel like he can play and retires, that’s more $$$, Freeman instead of Glaus is money saved, and if we could move KK and/or DLowe, we’d have plenty of cash
