I really like that Fredi has decided to go with Gattis as the primary LF until BJ gets back. It makes for a very deep lineup.

Having someone that gets on base at a good clip save the first month and a week of the season get the most ab's vs the worst hitter in your lineup getting the most AB's will produce more runs. More runs means more wins. If you were implying it would equally suck hitting Simba 2nd, I apologize

BJ will get better offensively and is a really good defensive centerfielder. Upton is a liability in the field and we don't know if he will reach his peaks offensively.

I'm sorry but I just don't see how anyone can have confidence that BJ will get better.

I'm as patient of a guy as it gets but I think its time to move in another direction from Freddi.

He's had a winning record every year he's been here and more than likely back to back playoff appearances.

I still say he's vastly underrated by a lot of fans.

And the Braves continue to be Dillon Gee's *****. They haven't hit a ball hard tonight. Disgusting. Also, since the break the Nats and Phillies have won a combined one game and the Braves lead in the divison will be exactly the same, 6 games. And they're playing the White Sox and Mets. Pathetic.

Simmons is not a major issue. He never should have been thrown in the lead off role. He's a stud defender who's actually showing some decent pop offensively. He needs to be batting 8th so his bat can develop while playing the best defense in baseball at SS.
