A break from the ordinary: June/July 2012 Rosterbation

Stay connected for news and updates


As trade rumors have died down with Adam Jones and Seth Smith (thankfully) and with the majority of our moves this offseason complete, I figured it was time to look further down the road: Midseason.

Assumptions I'll make based on last year:

1) Uggla stays healthy and puts together a similar season, albeit a more consistent season starting off, pencilling him in for 30+ HRS and a power bat in the middle of the order.

2) SP remains a strength, even if we have a SP or two go down during the year due to a shoulder, leg, tendinitis, or whatever injuries you can think of.

3) Freeman produces a similar year, maybe better, maybe a little worse, but remains a consistent force in the lineup

4) McCann stays McCann

5) Bourn is Bourn

6) O'Ventbrel stays dominant

Now for the question marks..

Scenario 1: Chipper goes down.. again..but for a long time.

Yes, Prado would slot into that spot, so that opens up a vacancy in LF.

Who would be some potential fits? Who would be willing to move?

Scenario 2: The Pastor flames out quickly.

He's a rookie, so who knows, but its best to stay positive.

Who would be a mid-season acquisition the Braves would target?

Scenario 3: Heyward doesn't rebound.

Does he go down to the minors, does he remain the starter throughout, does he get traded (i know, i know, but just wanted to throw the option out there).

So, to summarize: LF, SS, and RF midseason acquisitions.

Keep it clean..ish.
