From the article: "the 33-year-old batted .099 with a .416 OPS over his final 129 regular-season plate appearances and the Braves have grown comfortable with Elliot Johnson at second base."
I think Fredi gave him every opportunity to prove he needed to be there. He simply failed the same way...
Meaningless fact for the day.... the last year there was a government shutdown due to funding was 1995. Braves World Series Championship year. Maybe history will repeat itself!
Our "bullet proof" bullpen, is showing some cracks now. I realize it's late and the overuse arguments, but now is a bad time to be going in the wrong direction.
Only problem is those of us NC that get FORCED to watch the MASN broadcast even though I pay good money for Extra Innings. Winning it there is OK, but not being able to see the Braves broadcast absolutely sucks.
Just ran some numbers. Combine BJ & Uggla make $26,196,942 this year. At this moment they have 147 hits between them. That comes to a cost of $17,8210.49 per hit. They've done well, the Braves have suffered.
