    so, going to see G-Braves next weekend.

    Not going to do any major writeups (too time-consuming). If anybody wants an impression, please post with questions/comments. The series is Friday the 18th through Sunday the 20th. http://www.milb.com/roster/index.jsp?sid=t431 The roster is a bit depleted with Dansby called back up and...

    What non-roster invitees do you think will make the cut?

    Before the Medlen announcement, was thinking about this topic anyway. Of the current crop, going to go with Jordan Walden. Makes the original Heyward deal w/ St. Louis that much better! Have little confidence in any kind of return to form by EOF. Would be fine with him in Gwinnett, otherwise...

    Winter Meetings 2016

    Just realized that it's only 2 weeks away. The Hot Stove is officially heating up. So this is the place to discuss any rumors or whispers on trades and signings and Braves strategy/targets. http://www.milb.com/milb/events/wintermeetings.jsp

    has anybody read When the Braves Rule the Diamond: Fourteen Flags Over Atlanta?

    Somehow missed this when it was brand new, and don't recall mention of it here. This showed up in my Amazon recommendations: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1613218370/ref=rdr_ext_tmb Only got one negative review. Looks like it's worth checking out for nostalgia and might jog a few forgotten...

    Buffalo's Best Male Athlete (hint: he was a Brave)

    It is with great pride that the greatest LH pitcher in Braves history comes from my hometown. Nope, not Glavine. Warren Spahn, deservedly considered the greatest male athlete to come from Western New York. http://www.buffalonews.com/sports/buffalos-best-mens-no-1-warren-spahn-20160228

    Almost Braves II

    Many moons ago over at Scout, somebody put an (uncharacteristically for the forum) excellent thread on players, who were close to being acquired by the Braves. It allowed for lots of thinking, good discussion and some fun. So, although the post season hasn't quite started, which it soon will...

    Smoltz's induction at Cooperstown - who's going?

    Seeing as though turnout from here was rather sparse last year, there probably won't be any more this time around. Who's planning on attending the festivities next weekend?

    Cooperstown Collection Braves jerseys

    Selling 2 jerseys. Size XL on both but their sizes run a little smaller. I normally wear a large. These fit loosely but not too much so. Haven't worked up pricing/shipping yet, but wanted to gauge interest here first.

    your views on the arbitration process

    With Mike Minor's win in his arbitration case, this might not be a bad time to discuss thoughts on the process. Everybody has feelings about free agency. Some of us are even old enough to remember the free agent draft. Yes, the Braves, like practically every team, actually drafted Dave...

    Bring back Hessman!

    Just saw in Sports Weekly that former Braves farmhand was 12 HR's short of the all time minor league record, as of April 12. Some time this season, he ought to become a real life Crash Davis.

    Curious about what new or recent stuff people are listening to. What do you like? What don't you like? Where do you samples sounds (XMU, Spotify, Band Camp, blogs, YouTube, etc.)? Caught some great concerts by some favorites, locally, over the last year (Cults, Wild Nothing, Bat for...
