Yeah, that's pretty much my point. If you have this many multiple position guys and Freeman (for his bat) and Simmons (for his glove) are pretty much the only guys you wouldn't double-switch out of a game, Fredi could pretty much be playing Stat-o-Matic with his personnel.

EYJ is a solid 4th OF'er.
He isnt a starter, Maybin should start over him.
Nothing really more to that.
Great start to the season, but I just cannot fathom that all the pitchers we sent down or released were worse than Juan Jaime.

But hey, he doesn't strike out a lot

The Markakis deal was overkill, mainly the years.
Could have just signed an Aoki type for a year or so.
I'd consider 2011 to be a bad season. His defense was crap that year (still is) and he didnt top 2 WAR in a full season. You can say whatever you want but last year was his highest WAR, 2.5, since 2008. He's an average at best player. Expecting anything more is setting yourself up for failure.
"It's not like it's the first time with Jaime," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said after his club dropped its first game of the season. "It's one of those things where he has got a good arm. It's just putting it all together. Today, we were behind the eight ball. That happens when you've won five in a row and you've used [Luis] Avilan and [Jim Johnson] two days in a row and [Brandon] Cunniff. So we went with what we had."

Unless offseason rules changes instituted the double substitution rule as in Slow Pitch softball - Martin was ineligible to reenter because he was pinch hit for by Kelly Johnson.
Guessing here had Martin hit for himself late in a tie game - well, you fill in the blank.
Fredi bashing fr the sake of Fredi bashing is adorable
