[buck75]

No way will they stick with thirteen pitchers (for long).

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Haven't heard of only 4 players.

Job well done...

 

[CyYoung31]

Fatass Jaime makes the roster. What does this team see in that guy?

 

[gilesfan]

They see fat

 

[50PoundHead]

Fatass Jaime makes the roster. What does this team see in that guy?

A mid-to-high 90s fastball.

Young is going to have to log a lot of time in CF, which is not a good thing. No real CF back-up outside of the few innings Gosselin logged this spring. Can't believe they aren't scouring the waiver wire with a bit more aggressiveness.

PS--I think McKirahan is a LHP. It looks like you have the B/T reversed.

 

[bravesfanforlife88]

So much for the opening day 25 man roster

 

[rico43]

At 8 p.m. Sunday, Hart reported (per Bowman) that Brandon Cunniff would be promoted and be in the bullpen Monday. Outman finally out?

Braves rosters must have a designated-eater—and Juan J'aime Manger squeezes into the bill.

 

[Dalyn]

We have an awful bullpen. Ugh. It's like giving Fredi a steel wool pad to wash his balls instead of the dirty rag he's used to.

BSOHL

 

[AerchAngel]

Late 1970's early 1980's Braves Redux.

Will anyone on this team hit 20 homers?

I would say no... Freeman is only hope.

 

[AerchAngel]

I would say no... Freeman is only hope.

No team will give him anything to hit except aces. That lineup is PUTRID.

 

[Dalyn]

If they bat Markakis in front of Freeman, he might lead the team in homeruns.

 

[MadduxFanII]

Jaime throws hard and he has some intriguing minor league numbers, especially in the strikeout column. Might we well give him a chance to sink or awkwardly doggie paddle on the surface of the water.

We need a buffet designator since Harang is not around anymore.

Funny you should mention dogs, cause Jaime loves walks.
