    Dan Uggla, oculomoter dysfunction

    A lot of that front office is gone. If this is true, and he comes back, they deserved being let go.

    THE 1966 BRAVES: #43 Rico Carty

    I remember hearing announcers refer to him as the best 2-strike hitter they had ever seen. For someone with his power, his career K totals were low, even by 1960s-1970s standards.

    THE 1966 BRAVES: #43 Rico Carty

    Injuries/bad health robbed Carty of a chance at the HOF, IMO.

    50 YEARS ON: THE 1966 ATLANTA BRAVES

    As someone who has followed this team since 1971, at the age of 11, and as someone who loves reasearching Braves history, I thank you for this, and am looking forward to it.

    Varvaro traded to Red Sox for RHP Kurcz

    Wait, there isn't one WAR to rule them all?

    Braves sign Cuban OF Dian Toscano to Major League Deal

    I would like to see that as well, but do we have an open spot on the 40-man roster? If not can we draft someone before we DFA a player? I should know this, but being one of the older posters here I probably did at one time and simply have forgotten the answer...

    The Virtues and Necessity of Short-Term Thinking

    I do not believe they traded Heyward in a vacuum without knowing with a near certainty that they could not sign him for anything less than a "market value" deal, which, btw, even with his stellar defense I do not believe was warranted given his offensive track record to this point. I have been...

    Braves Trade Heyward, Walden to Cardinals for Miller and Tyrell Jenkins

    Whoever made the joke last week about giving the Cards Heyward since we gave them Wainwright should be banned for life, or at least never allowed to make a joke on this board ever again.

    Braves Trade Heyward, Walden to Cardinals for Miller and Tyrell Jenkins

    I thought one of the reasons Seitzer was hired was to bring out the potential with Jason...wtf?

    Braves trade Kyle Wren to Brewers for RHP Zach Quintana

    I think I will wait and see before I categorically state a trade for a 20 year old is a bust, no matter his stats at this point. I will put some trust in our scouting department on this one. Who on this board saw Eric O'Flarety's dominance when he was claimed on waivers years ago? I liked Wren a...

    If I were Braves GM

    Jon Jay would slot in well on the Braves roster. I have zero idea what it would take to get him though. I sure would like the GMTBNL to try!

    9/20 GDT: METS (Niese) @ BRAVES (Minor), 7:10

    Worse than that, they have quit on themselves. And that is as much on the manager's shoulders as any of the technical aspects of his job. Bobby Cox wasn't the most fundamentally sound manager, but he was a leader of men. FG isn't, that is why his team is going down without as much as a whimper.

    WC or Division - Why is BJ starting?

    He surely has been sucking up the field and salary structure...

    Gonna get this out in the open; where does BJ rank on your most hated Braves list?

    Sad thing is that if Beej was putting up Garret Anderson's #s we would be less inclined to need this thread. That's how bad he has been...
