Braves extend Frank Wren and Fredi Gonzalez. WOOOOOOO!!!

Was Fredi responsible for our entire pitching staff, that had the best ERA (3.18) in all of baseball the entire year, fall completely on their collective faces in the playoffs (5.82)? Was he responsible for Jason Heyward, Justin Upton and Brian McCann hitting a pathetic 5 for 41, a .122 batting average in the playoffs?

No but he was responsible for the team selection and selected our worst OF defense possible (sans something dumb) which there were more than a couple of runs that may have been saved with an OF with Jason in RF and Justin in LF. DOn't get me wrong Gattis played well, but when facing great pitching teams you have to play your best defensive team to limit their damage.
