DOB, after the Braves announce their opening day roster is there any way you could do an article on top prospects at each minor league level (AAA, AA, A) for the fans that don’t get to ATL as much as we’d like but live in the areas where the minor league teams? Maybe a top 5 list at each level?
It’s more fun when I know who to watch out for!
THANKS!
original jon,
Yes indeed the fact that Diaz is a one position OF will factor in far more than his ability to hit lefties. Though that ability wasn’t anywhere in evidence in 2008.
When any team carries only 4 OF and the CF is a possible candidate to be pinch hit for late in a game as will be the case for Anderson at the start of the season against certain lefties then you better have a 4th of capable of playing CF on occassion.
Infante can play a serviceable CF but he’s an infielder by trade and will be used in a myriad of other situations.
My guess is that a 4th outfielder will be acqired in the final week of ST that can play all 3 spots in the OF.
Or Schafer sticks and either Anderson or Blanco become the 4th OF.
I can’t wait to actually graduate college and hopefully work in atlanta someday and be a season ticket holder behind the braves dugout…dream come true if I could
BA, I’m talking about the pre-arb guys. Campillo, Escobar, etc. I’m just curious about the financial terms for those guys. Typically teams will sign all their pre-arb guys at once around the beginning of spring training.
Braves Sucios-Dude, I haven’t been to Athens since 1985. None of those other places were there (to my knowledge) back then. I’m living in the past a bit here. Thanks for the info, though-never can tell when I might end up back there again for one reason or another.
Abbots Pizza was pretty big back then, too-maybe because REM used to play there on Friday nights. They were not that big at the time-when Pete was still working at Wuxtry.
No kidding. Is this any way to actually grow or maintainyour audience? Lets make it harder for people to keep track of their favorite teams. I couldn’t even find video highlights of that ozzie smith bare handed grab online. All the links I clicked were taken offline at request of MLB.
In my experience using it before, it wont start working until when the game starts or at least when the broadcast starts..thats about the only link I can find though, so I hope it works
If anyone is around a TV and computer today, and wants to give play by play…. I would appreciate it. No TV here in the office, and they block the game channel stuff on MLB and ESPN…. apparently it makes people unproductive.

The only way to get the radio feed on the internet is through MLB.tv Game Day Audio.
MLB has made damn sure of that. You can’t even use XM online to listen, even if you subscribe to XM.
