    I think this is good. Mathis' offensive skills are Jacksonian.

    Figured this was coming. We're fortunate he was still available. Guessing he got some offers this off-season, but probably nothing more than minor league contract type of offers.

    He was working in the Braves front office. Pretty sure he wasn’t going anywhere else.

    Yes I know that. Likely because no one offered a major league deal till now. I know he may with a couple teams at least.

    Sucks because I actually thought there was a chance having him around might help the Pitchers more than most would think. Since he was already on the payroll maybe they can make him a Bullpen Coach so he can help with gameplanning.
    Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...

    Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?
