    Final FA I would like to see going into ST for the Braves

    1. Travis Wood - LH RP. Need at least one more.

    2. Boone Logan - LH RP. Need at least one more.

    3. Brandon Moss - 1B/OF. Looks like a FA Bargain who could play either corner OF spot (important when you have Markakis and Kemp on the corners) and 1B (keep Freddie fresh).

    4. Kelly Johnson - Util. Just so he can be traded to the Mets. It's a tradition.

    Given the Braves infatuation with a) washed out No. 1 picks and b) Mariners, it seems like Dustin Ackley would be a good fit.

    I would give a long, hard look at Wood.... heh.

    Not too interested in Logan, but would definitely inquire about Moss and Des Jennings.

    Have been trying to figure out for a week or longer now why Angel Pagan isn't a perfect fit for us, and almost as strangely why someone else hasn't mentioned it before me?
    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?

    An IFer that can play SS is the other needed piece. I imagine there will be a 3 headed Adonis/Jace/SRod platoon at 2B/3B, so the need for a LHed hitting guy at 3B isn't really needed.

    I would like to see Stephen Drew added to fill that role. He is basically a younger, and better, version of KJ.

    Don't forget Greg Holland. I would like to see them take a chance on him coming back and being a dominant BP arm.

    So....

    Jackson/Jennings
    Drew
    Holland

    I've mentioned him a few times. Another good option for the 4th OFer that can play a few (very few) games in CF.

    He is probably holding out for a team that can offer him more playing time than the Braves will.
