    Ah well, Coppy's a genius so it will be OK.

If he can throw that hard again that's a good sign he might finally be healthy with that knee issue that did so much damage to his career. That said, I am guessing someone will sign him soon if that's true and since it would be such a low risk move I'd hope he comes home again.
    I'm hoping someone picks him up if that's true about his stuff. Netherlands are doing pretty good right now.

    Except Harang was a stud when he was younger. If a 23 year old pitcher is reminding folks of a 37 year old Harang...that's a serious problem.

    Not comparing their ability... but the pitching mannerisms and physical build

    These B squad lineups are tiresome to watch. Can't wait till we can put a real team on the field and see what we are made of.

    We have a lot good baseball men in the Braves organization. They know what they are doing.

    I believe it is known as a "powerhouse front office"

    I know this isn't the regular season, but man some of our main relievers were torched today.

    My two cents...if Viz, Cabrera or Ramirez heat up near the trade deadline....we need to sell high. All the talent in the world with those guys, but not sure any of them will ever be consistent enough to be relied on.

    Gold Standard Franchise is the preferred form of self-reference.

    Braves score 4 in 1st off Zimmermann. Kemp 2-run double and Suzuki with 2-run HR. Suzuki is a hitting machine... .412 avg in spring #mvp

    I would trade Viz immediately if a good return presented itself.

    They could have left him down there a little longer, but he was looking good early on at Gwinnet; right before he came up he threw 7 innings / 0 ER / 10 SOs. Guy was 23 years old, I'm not sure you can really fault the Braves for 'rushing' him.

    Can't remember....has RA had any good outings yet? Sure it's preseason and can be taken with a grain of salt. I would like to see at least a "few" solid starts ??
