GDT 8/14/2013: Phillies @ Braves

[50PoundHead]

Well I don't see Pastor turning himself in a starting major league player. At best he will be a decent utility guy.

I understand that the braves needed RH power and the trade for Uggla was pretty easy to make. And if he was still keeping his OBP and OPS high while hitting his 30+ HRS it would have been awesome.

Don't get me wrong. I pretty much agree on Pastornicky. I think he projects to be a decent utility guy if he learns to play 3B and OF. Can handle the bat and runs fairly well.

Way to go BABIP!!

Pure luck.

"Captain Throw-In" with the big ab. Nice.

I'm not really used to our 2B making contact.

I'll admit I never saw CJ being this good. I'm going to need some folks from the other site to confess to their sins for Jason.

what you said today about the league min relievers so we can keep Kimbrel does seem like what the braves might do.

Avilan
Lamm
Shea Simmons
Ryan Harper

Could be doable

I feel like the Dbacks may have a da buyer's remorse.

 

[Braves1976]

Good start, hopefully Beachy stays sharp and gives us another shutdown inning too.

 

[Heyward]

The braves have had a lot of 1st round picks to bust

Of course, that's my point.

If he declines an extension, I don't see what's wrong with dealing him for a big haul instead of letting him walk for basically nothing unless that pick becomes Mike Trout.

 

[BravesBlock]

Don't agree with that. Justin is lost in left. What I will say is not many if anyone is better than Jason in right

I agree that Jason is an excellent runner and defender but has been very inconsistent as a batter. Justin has looked bad on ocassion in left but seems to be overall adequate at the position. I just don't think he has the athletism for right.

The Braves already won that trade without CJ being anything special. A career year for CJ.

Little League **** there. Communication, yo.

 

[AUTiger7222]

Well crap!

 

[weso1]

Giants trying to come back against the Nats. Why do I even mention it? We're 14 games up.

 

[Braves1976]

Pastornicky had that ball, man I hope he's okay.

You don't think Justin has the athleticism for RF???

And what Zito is saying is if you trade him for prospects then your punting that year which could be the case

Add to that a bunch of starters that won't make it. I think its possible. You can add Carpenter to that list. He is going to be cheap for another couple of years as well.
