Garret Anderson is a Type B despite being one of the least valuable players in the Major Leagues last year."

Fun With The Elias Rankings - Lookout Landing

Satirical post about the flaws of the Elias Rankings, that surprisingly work to the favor of the Braves and their potential departing free agents. Also for more interesting reading, the Deadspin article on the same topic.

Heyman said he feels the Braves, Giants and Mets will compete for Holliday, though he ‘wouldn’t be shocked to see him go to the Yankees, Red Sox or Cardinals.’
In the end, he believes Holliday will stay in National League.

I have two SBN award ballots that need to be filled out and I just don't have the time to do it. If you'd like to give it a go, post a reply here. You should have a good knowledge of the entire National League, be prepared to vote for MVP, CY, ROY, and MOY, and be a regular that I recognize. Make sure your email address is correct in your profile and I'll send you an email.

What do you think of Freeman? Some Braves fans think he will be ready to be our opening day starter come 2011. I just don't see it. Am I wrong?

I think you are wrong. I like Freddie Freeman.

"He (Prado)plays right field on a regular basis in Venezuela [in winter ball], has for the last few years," Cox said. "He's a possible candidate, depending on what we do with Kelly. We just can't give up on Kelly. He had too good of a solid year last year."

Johnson Decision, Other Loom for Braves

I'm not sure if this is classic Cox spin, but this seems like a 180 from what we saw for the second half of the season.

"Chipper continued to struggle, going 0-for-4 to make him 1-for-28 with one RBI in his past nine games."

From DOB's blog.

Oh, and that 1 hit in his last nine games, went about 5 feet.

It took us 2 1/2 months to rid ourselves of blackholes in the lineup (FYF, Schafer and KJ), and now we have another gigantic hole in the #3 spot. Jesus Christ, we need to bench him to get his hands/thumbs/oblique/foot/whatever the hell is wrong with him better. Start Prado at 3B, KJ at 2B and Infante or Church in CF. Anything is better than Chipper right now.
