    Appears some people can not detect obvious sarcasm and mockery.

    I hear he still has a plus changeup...

    Bravo.

    Pitchers working fast is known to be a good thing, and he just never, ever couldn't be slow.

    Pretty sure Wren saw this trailer and decided to ape the idea by signing Harangutan

    It's pretty freaking funny to me that every one of you guys in this thread thought replacing Freddy Garcia with Aaron Harang was a terrible move but when I rag on the guy I get hammered for being negative. Talk about hypocritical!

    Again. I am not negative about everything. This Freddy Garcia/Aaron Harang thing is the only negative thing I've been negative about all offseason with the Braves. I didn't bitch that the Braves didn't trade for David Price. I didn't bitch that the Braves were going to be the Nationals person bitch this season. I didn't bitch that the Braves didn't dump Dan Uggla. I'm not bitching that Fredi Gonzalez is going to hit B.J. Upton 2nd. Those are the people that annoy the hell out of me.

    What is really annoying is your perception that the only person with knowledge/insight about the Braves is yourself and your persistent little habit of deriding anyone who disagrees with you. It is very apparent that you are young but you dont always have to act like it.

    I think the number of double negatives is a record.

    Not everyone thought it was a terrible move. What are you talking about? A lot felt Harang was probably a better option.
    This move doesn't have even have the potential to be "terrible." It involves two older guys signed for depth. Harang is throwing harder and not relying on junk, so I personally prefer him. If they went with Freddy that'd have been OK with me too. It's just not a big deal.

    And again... if people are negative about something you don't like its okay... if they are negative or critical about someone you're a fan of, its not okay. How can you not see what you're doing here?

    Has this franchise fallen so far in some minds that we now lament the season before even the first, real game is played? Incredible!

    Not me. I never said that. But I guess you did miss all the posts talking about how the Nationals were going to wipe the floor with the Braves.

    People can be negative about something. I don't have a problem with that. But when people constantly bitch about the same thing over and over and over and over again it's annoying as hell. Example, all the bitching about the Braves starting pitching being terrible (before the injuries to Medlen and Beachy) and how Frank Wren was a moron for not signing an average pitcher in Ervin Santana to fix it. How many times did we need hear about that from different posters?

    I agree

    In fact I don't think either one of them stay in the rotation for very long.
