Just in case you aren't paying attention, Kelly Johnson is having one hell of a year.
.254 avg 6 hr's 16 rbi's
He's also playing lf and 3b. He can also play 2b. Kelly could be packaged with grilli or Johnson for a nice prospect

I'll take Jenkins over walden
So far the Braves are getting the better end of this trade
I miss Walden. He'd have been damn good as closer. That said, Miller's run alone makes the deal better for us in the way-too-early evaluation. KJ isn't going anywhere. His versatility is too important for our bench. He can play almost every IF spot and both corner OF spots. He's a nice bench piece and insurance for struggling middle infielders and/or injury.Quote:

Peterson warming up...
.270 avg .341 obp
He's also playing very good defense lately
Peraza also warming up...
.320 avg .362 obp 9 steals

Might be time to try and figure a way to get these guys in the lineup together. They could be a nice 1-2 punch at top of lineup if we can find a position for both
Maybin is also starting to hit...
.231 avg .344 obp 4 hr's 10 rbi's
Last 10...
.348 avg .344 obp .806 ops
Maybin and Seitzer have both said they've really felt good about the work they've been putting in. If Maybin can continue to hit, we may have us a cf bc he's really good with the glove.
I wouldn't be lookin to trade him. Now, if an unbelievable offer came in that'd be different, but to me that's why I wouldn't trade him...I don't think he would fetch enough talent in return to justify. While trying to rebuild and playing young guys that are trying to find a team and individual baseball identity you need veterans to show the way. I think he's in that category and he's producing.Quote:

I like this kid
I think our biggest needs in organization right now are a rh slugger and a catcher.
@DOBrienAJC
#Braves are 3rd in NL in runs with 118, behind the Padres (131) and Dodgers (126), just ahead of Cardinals (116) and Marlins (116)
#Braves hitters are 5th in NL in OPS at .713, behind Dodgers, Rockies, Cardinals & Cubs.
Thru 4 ip, folty with 7 k's
Folty definitely has the potential to be an ace. Obviously still working to get there, but that's fine. He could be leading our rotation by 2017.

That rotation could be just sick
Peterson now hitting .286 with an obp over .350
I know this is a Braves thread but it'd be nice to get MLB updates about other teams/players too. Let's talk baseball not just Braves guys. Please. Anyone catch that the Nats now think Strasburg is a sandy vag now?
I come across lots of interesting mlb stuff in my pursuit of Braves' info, but I didn't wanna put other mlb stuff here and make brave fans mad and I didn't wanna make the board mad by putting another mlb thread.Quote:

Well the name of thread is "braves" but that said I enjoy talking about anything MLB.Quote:

That was another example of nothing more than being a mental midget that lacks cajones!!
I also think that the way Williams handled that situation is linked to his overall frustration with the club...defense in particular. He's prolly tired of his prima Donna bitches that can't catch and throw having nagging injuries that he would've never even considered missing time over.
Yea I think the Nats and Stras are about to go through a nasty divorce.Quote:

Create an mlb thread on main board. I'll post in it. Oh and you didn't bother me. Half the time I feel like I'm the only one in this thread talking to myself hahaQuote:
