I'd say its about 95% that he will be unless he gets injured. When have the Braves ever given up on a player in April?

Guess his luck is running out?
It wouldn't be just one month. It would be 2+ years of suckage. THe Braves will not hesitate. He wasn't even on the playoff roster last year.

I agree. Stella will get a chance once his service time in no longer an issue. Uggla has a month or so to build his trade value (or continue to **** all over it).

Your negativity is unrelenting. Do you enjoy rooting for the Braves? Dont you owe me a title?

Just now getting a chance to watch today's game. That play Simmons made backing up Uggla in the first inning was very nice.

Seriously...96 wins...yeah they sucked.
Yeah. Braves have the most wins in the NL over the last two years. Yet they suck.

I didn't know about the Cubs doing it in 2012. The Reds used Ryan Freel as the 5th infielder (he had been playing the outfield for that game). I'm trying to remember who Bobby used as the 5th infielder.

The ones who don't get it, are the ones who accept meaningless regular season wins.

You've got to get in the playoffs before you can win in the playoffs. Would you rather the Braves be the Royals and go 30 years without getting into the playoffs with only 1 or 2 of those years ending up with a winning record?

I think it was Andruw.
If I remember correctly Bobby used Andruw at shortstop in spring training in 2005. One play experiment lol.

Niners didn't say we sucked. He just doesn't buy that we were "scary good". In honesty, we weren't scary good. We had a couple of short bursts of excellent baseball surrounded by mediocrity. Now, if we rebound at 2nd base and CF, we certainly could be a 'scary good' team and see an incredible fight to the finish with Washington. And for the record, I think the Nats will rebound and have a terrific season.

You guys might be right on that. I remember that Andruw used to always take infield grounders at SS and said his goal was to play a major league game at SS. It might have happened in just a meaningless spring training game.
