Melvin out till May 1

[depley]

Seems ol Melvin has been sidelined for the forseeable future. Out until at least May1 with a inflamation of the foot. I sure hope we have a backup for center field!

The drop off should be severely felt throughout the organization.

Yea, I don't know who can replace Upton's 173 strikeouts, below average to bad defense in CF and around .200 batting average. Maybe if we look far and wide we can find someone just as bad. :)

Falcons cut Harry Douglas. He's available.

Hey for 17 million I can offer my services to try and duplicate those numbers!!

Shoot, I'll take only the league minimum to give it a shot. Though I think you might want to hide me as best you can in left field. :)

MLBTR may get around to reporting this news next week, lol.

*climbs on Eury Perez bandwagon*

[Braves1976]

Is there any truth to the rumor that Fredi was heard screaming "Yes, now I can bring back Constanza!" upon hearing the Upton MRI results? :)

[mossy]

This is perhaps the best thing that's happened this spring. We already know he probably won't be great, so we give someone else a shot.

[50PoundHead]

I hear they are signing this guy.

[Chico]

Eric Young Jr will take over at CF.

[Runnin]

We may look back on this season and remember this day as when it all began to turn around for us.

We're doomed

[Braves1976]

We're doomed

It was bad enough to lose BJ, but now we lose Melvin too? We shall overcome! :)

Speaking of Melvin, I ran across this on YouTube recently:

[bravesfanforlife88]

Braves found a way to send him down to the minors without blantently coming out and saying it

Wait, are we talking about Melvin Upton, or Melvin Upton, Jr.?

I'M SO CONFUSED.

I guarantee you that Chip Caray will make this out to be a big deal during the broadcasts.

I can hear it now..."Braves have really been hit with the injury bug again this spring. If they can tread water until Melvin comes back, then they might be able to make a run at the Nationals in the East.

+1 for "injury bug." It's like you crawled up his deviated septum and into his brain.
