    Fatass Jaime makes the roster. What does this team see in that guy?

    A mid-to-high 90s fastball.

    Young is going to have to log a lot of time in CF, which is not a good thing. No real CF back-up outside of the few innings Gosselin logged this spring. Can't believe they aren't scouring the waiver wire with a bit more aggressiveness.

    PS--I think McKirahan is a LHP. It looks like you have the B/T reversed.

    At 8 p.m. Sunday, Hart reported (per Bowman) that Brandon Cunniff would be promoted and be in the bullpen Monday. Outman finally out?

    Braves rosters must have a designated-eater—and Juan J'aime Manger squeezes into the bill.

    We have an awful bullpen. Ugh. It's like giving Fredi a steel wool pad to wash his balls instead of the dirty rag he's used to.

    Late 1970's early 1980's Braves Redux.

    Will anyone on this team hit 20 homers?

    I would say no... Freeman is only hope.

    No team will give him anything to hit except aces. That lineup is PUTRID.

    If they bat Markakis in front of Freeman, he might lead the team in homeruns.

    Jaime throws hard and he has some intriguing minor league numbers, especially in the strikeout column. Might we well give him a chance to sink or awkwardly doggie paddle on the surface of the water.

    We need a buffet designator since Harang is not around anymore.

    Funny you should mention dogs, cause Jaime loves walks.
