    Possible, though I doubt he'd be much of a shortstop. But as a back-up in AAA it's not a big deal either way. Besides, they had been starting Greene a lot there before hand and he's pretty bad defensively. So Gosselin may well be an upgrade to Greene at short.

    Hehe, if he does okay at it I could see it helping Gosselin get another shot in the Majors too. I mean the more positions he can play the better for him as a bench option down the road should a need arise. Gosselin did play 3 games last year at short, he had three PO and one error.

    Guess who added me on twitter today? Braves pitcher Ervin Santana. I was surprised as I didn't even make a request nor message him any. Though I have been following him as I do all Braves players on twitter. Anyway I just thought that was pretty cool.

    Tell him to come over here... and that we adore him, and someone here wishes we could sign him long term NOW.

    They showed a graphic on MLB Tonight.

    Mac- catchers ERA is 4.72

    CS%- 25.0

    Gattis- catchers ERA is 2.34

    CS%- 28.4

    So far this year anyway.

    Let's see if we can do some Wren speak:

    "We're paying attention for sure. We're not throwing any names out at this time, but there are some guys on our radar that we like and think can help this club now. If we need to make a move, we certainly can."

    Far cry from the days of Mr. Caliber.

    Francoeur throws the only scoreless inning for the Chihuahuas today. Hit two batters, but neither scored. Struck out one.

    His .197 BA suggests that he is hitting like a pitcher as well.

    Gattis is going to be better offensively as well moving forward. Never understood the idea of re-signing Mac.

    Since you technically made the GDT a minute before Rico yesterday, go ahead and make it today! I think Rico is asleep.

    JFYI I think that 28.4 is a typo, Gattis is at 29% or 28.6 according to what I read online. We had a great start last year with Gattis as our starting catcher the first month too. So it's just more of the same only even better pitching from our starters.

    JJ: "Do you feel these academies in the Dominican are taking away from baseball in the US?"
    Brian Jordan: "I believe so, I like what they're doing expanding their brand around the world. But bring these academies to the United States in the inner cities so you can help some of them play baseball. We're losing so many kids to the sport of baseball now."

    Oh Brian...
