The thing that creeps me out is were deciding which TWO of Bourn, Bonifacio and Francoeur we're going to keep.
We on this board are more or less the Braves' version of the three hapless fans in the bleachers in Cleveland in Major League. We ought to consider bringing back Chief Nocahoma for this season. Seriously.
I actually like Chacin and Wisler. Basically I feel like bitching 'cause there are major elements of this team that are...suckulent.
I have my doubts about Norris getting back to his former levels of success and while I agree with you on Chacin it seems the Braves brass doesn't as it's sounding like Wandy part 2 with him. IOW, they are talking like he won't even be in the opening day rotation.
Starting pitching in the upper minors will be strong. Some of that will seep into the major league rotation over the course of the season.
Yeah, where's our old friend Aaron Harang these days? Besides the buffet line.
Didn't he retire or at least took this year off to think about doing so?
Markakis with his first hits in a while. I think he should grow his beard back.
He's going for the reverse Samson effect.
don't degrade me. Lol
Am I the only one who forgot about Jason Hursch?

what % of hits off Folty are HRs.....in real MLB games? Like 15%?
not sure, but yesterday, every fast ball was straight. Not sure if he was working on something.. but I didn't see his 2 seamer. Up and straight is going to get hit. He also looks thinner. I didn't watch much of the game because of an obligation I had.. but the parts I did see, he looked straight and middle up. I feel like he was probably working on something and got shelled because of it. I have a feeling they already told him he would start in AAA this year. He needs to.
I haven't gotten that vibe... I think Chacin will easily make the opening day rotation.
I think there is a chance he will be kept off the roster for a week so we can carry an extra reliever. But yes, it looks to me he will be part of the rotation.
Nope.
Since it's such a slow afternoon I caught myself wondering whether Folty's outing landed Gant at least a start or two. Whatever he was working on yesterday obviously needs more than one AAA start worth of work.
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?
maybe.. but I think it will now be Julio/Norris/Wisler/Chacin/Perez as our 5..
I think so too.
AAA will be Gant/Folty/Blair/Banuelos/Jenkins with Weber also available
AA will be Newcomb/Sims/Ellis/Bird/Janas with Thurman and Barker also available to start
