Why? That makes zero sense…Were the Philles complaining that they beat the Braves youngsters?

KC, don’t worry about it bro. Random is a small person, and that’s what small people do. They personally attack those with whom they disagree. It’s a sig of insecurity, and often, a lack of intelligence.
And I thought your point about the depth of Atlanta’s rotation vs. NY’s was an excellent one.

ease19-Freeman is only 19 and has only played at A ball (low A, I believe). Kotchman has two years after this before Free agency. I would bet that Kotchman will either be traded before he hits FA or will be let leave to test the FA waters as soon as Freeman is ready to rol in the bigs.

TennPaul, I know there are logistical problems wherever you put the thing. But I think possible interference with the MLB season is the ULTIMATE logistical problem. Shouldn’t be acceptable.
I think maybe playing it about the same time as the Arizona Fall League would be the right ticket. I’m SURE there are problems with that… but none as critical as having guys worn fatigued or injured at some point in the season because of their participation in the WBC (on top of lack of continuity with the team for missing spring training).

Before we get too carried away with the Santana thing, I recall that in ST last year the Mets had huge injury issues, but early in the season they were healthy and it was the Braves players that were falling by the wayside. Be careful what you wish for, that Karma can be a dangerous thing.

Look guys,
I’m not trying to stir up some crazy controversy about Kotchman. Ease I agree he needs more time, no doubt. I was interested to see that he was only 26. I’m just concerned with what he has shown me at the plate. Defensively he’s great, better than laroache, and maybe better than tex even though I think tex might have him by a little.
KC,
I understand how much a mothers illness can affect you and it puts a big toll on pretty much all aspects of your life. I’m not giving up on him yet, I’m just concerned about what he’s going to be able to do for us. Those are good stats, i’ll take .292 all day. However, the .230s he gave the braves this year gives me further concern that he might not be able to produce those numbers in the nl.
bobby,
Look I get that you like kotchman because he’s a good team player and he had a good average with the angels. However, no way he’s the mvp over Vlad on that team. Furthermore, I’m not obsessed with power numbers, however 2 homeruns in 43 games is no power at all. Especially for a position that is relied on to produce and drive in runs. Again I’ll wait and see what he does this year, but he is by far my biggest question mark on this team.
Again I like his defense, and I think that he can be productive. However, he hasn’t shown me anything so far, and I haven’t heard anything about he’s improved. If he bats .290 and hits 20 homeruns with 90 RBIs i’ll be happy. The braves just cant take .230 average again from him.

ease, you are probably correct. It is just not the way I saw the trade. We were not going to get Tex after his contract ended last year so to get something was better than getting nothing. And… Tex was not going to get us into the post-season. So to me it was the right thing to do. After what we gave for Tex, I would have liked to have gotten more in return, but when we got him there was (less than) a year and a half left on his contract. When the Angels got him there was (less than) a half a year on the contract. So naturally his value had greatly decreased in terms of a trade.
Anyway…. good points.
TP, one of the ESPN announcers mentioned the idea of having the WBC in place of the All Star game once every 4 years. I don’t know how scheduling would be for the other countries, but it seems like a more acceptable alternative to me if it could be worked out.

ease19, yeah, that’s kind of my point. The Phillies didn’t give a #$%^& that the Braves were injured. They still felt they earned it. And if the Mets had won it, it wouldn’t be any different.
Given their dismissal of the Braves (again, stuff like “you wouldn’t have won 80 games even WITH everyone healthy”), it seems a little poetic to me if they have to endure some of the same. And we can listen to them talk about about “well, if we were healthy…” and dish it right back.

Oh, I think Kotchman will be fine, as long as fans don’t expect him to be other than what he is. But, in a convoluted way, you could say that the trade of Adam Laroche cost the Braves a good 1B, a boatload of prospects, and $60MM to Derek Lowe, in return for…one full year of Mike Gonzalez.
Had Adam not been traded (and I understood the logic; Thorman’s minor league numbers were legit, and there was no reason to think he would be such an epic bust), there would have been no need to look for a bat in 2007. Even if no good pitching were available at that time (and there wasn’t), some of those Tex prospects could have been used that offseason to pursue a Haren or Harden or other young stud pitching to fill the gap until the next wave of farmhands. Adding that young pitching would have eliminated the necessity of spending 4 and 60 for a Lowe (or even more for a Burnett, or whatever).
No telling how it all would have turned out in the real world, of course, and the Braves might have been no better off. Heck, they might have had to pay some outrageous price for a closer, and it would all be moot. Still, it’s an intriguing six degrees of separation. And, it sure would be nice to have that Laroche lumber in this projected lineup.

That Ribbentrop business always cracks me up, Random. It comes from “The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich” by William Shirer. I’m a history buff, so it’s fun to be able to find some reason to honor insipid historical figures from time to time. It’s no reflection on KC, of course. He seems like a cool guy aside from being wrong about the Braves whenever he types anything here. (Again, a joke.)
I’ve been reading a book about the SS (”The Order of the Death’s Head). I just got “I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead: The Dirty Life and Times of Warren Zevon” in the mail today. I’ve read it before. Great book.

PROJECTED LINEUP
1. 2B Kelly Johnson. Average at best in the field but productive with the bat.
2. SS Yunel Escobar. When healthy, which wasn’t often, was strong in the field and at the plate.
3. 3B Chipper Jones. Led N.L. in average (.364) and OBP (.470) for first time.
4. C Brian McCann. One of the game’s best-hitting catchers is in better shape.
5. LF Garret Anderson. A good Plan B after Ken Griffey Jr. chose the Mariners.
6. RF Jeff Francoeur. If he doesn’t bounce back, Braves could be in for long season.
7. 1B Casey Kotchman. Only two homers in 152 at-bats after trade from Angels.
8. CF Josh Anderson. Stole a combined 52 bases at Class AAA and majors.

ease19-While I think Kotchman will turn into a pretty damned good first baseman, I have a feeling Freeman will be even better. The way the business end of things in MLB works these days, and given that the economy will worsen before improvement, I think it is quite possible that the Kotchman/Freeman things shakes out just like I envision it.
If the WBC has scheduling conflicts, then just let them cancel it. Go back to playing international baseball in the Olympics. I enjoyed seeing the Netherlands play Cuba at the old Fulton County Stadium in the 96 Olympics.

I’m letting yall have your fun, as i’ve been reading the blog since the first spring game and you are all “gushing” over your new pitchers. Everyone has hope in the spring–even KC and Pittsburgh. (BTW, in those 2 cities, they use Atlanta as one of those alternatives, haha)
Anyway, but i have to stop you for a moment about the injury crap. You act as if the Braves were the only team to lose players last year. Yeah, you lost Hudson and a lesser extent Smoltz, but the rest of the guys you “lost” were probably a blessing in disguise. You can’t count Hampton, and Glavine is done. He was done last year, and the injury was just an excuse.
The mets lost Alou (starting left fielder–remember him?) for basically the entire season. Ryan Church was lost for the last two-thirds of the season, and he wasn’t right when he came back. While those two were out, they also lost Beltran for about 3 weeks, and the backups to those guys got hurt AT THE SAME TIME! Angel Pagan and Endy Chavez were both on the DL for extended amounts of time, and Pagan eventually lost the entire season after a pretty good start. Even Marlon Anderson (who i think is now terrible) went on the DL for a while.
What does this mean? Enter Fernando Tatis, signed off of the scrap heap. What does he do? Just win Comeback Player of the Year. Guys like Nick Evans, Dan Murphy and other rooks played a lot more outfield than anyone thought they would–most met fans didn’t know their name at the beginning of the season.
On top of this, Wagner hurts his arm, we have to rely on waiver deadline pickup Luis Ayala to close games in a pennant race, he understandably doesn’t hold up at the end, and the Mets falter at the end.
So, you expect met fans to fall on their knees if Santana isn’t ready at the beginning of the season? Are you serious? This is a team that had Pedro Martinez on it the last 4 years. We have backup plans–they are just aren’t disguised like JOJO Reyes or Charlie Morton. One of them is Jonathan Niese, who if memory serves, threw a shutout against Los Bravos back in September. He’ll be starting at AAA.
I watched Livan Hernandez throw 2 innings in a start against the Cardinals the other day for the Mets. He looked crisp, and this was against pujols, ankiel, and the other starters for St. Louis. It didn’t take him 20 pitches combined for the two innings. And he’s considered to be our 3rd choice for the 5th starter!!!!!!!!
That’s depth—and its not named JoJo Reyes.

ease19: The notion that Kotchman could be around for a long time doesn’t jive with what I’ve seen over the years. Gap-hitting first-basemen tend to not stick around for long at all simply because it’s so easy to find a more productive hitter with defensive limitations and stick him at first. Even if Kotchman is a .300 hitter with with 40 K’s, I’d be surprised if he’s still a major league starter when he hits free agency unless he can also hit 25+ homers a year.

I’ve heard the All Star game idea for the WBC and I don’t ever seeing that happening. Imagine how upset everyone would be when the games are smack dab in the middle of the season as opposed to Spring Training.
Below the equator baseball is pretty popular. But, when we think of Winter ball, it’s actually summer down there. Those countries have regular seasons as well. Those seasons are from November to February. The goal of the WBC is to promote baseball and spread it throughout the world. That doesn’t happen when you cancel countries entire seasons so American MLB spring training schedules can satisfy a few crazed fans.
If it is possible injury or fatigue that is an issue, perhaps it’s best if we wrap all the players in bubble wrap and package them in styrofoam crates in the offseason so they don’t break a leg on a four wheeler or playing basketball, or cut a finger on a window or with an apple slicer…

I have been asked to comment on the Brave’s bullpen. We just don’t know if the bullpen is viable as there are toxic assets that keep decreasing in value (e.g. Blaine Boyer). We need to seperate the toxic assets. One way is to create two bullpens: a “good” bullpen, and a “bad” bullpen. We will move all the toxic assets to the “bad” bullpen so that the “good” bullpen can carry on with business as usual and help the Braves “save”. Private investors can then bid on the “assets” in the “bad” bullpen. Maybe this can be facilitated by a Resolution Trust type organization. We’ll put Scott Boras in charge of selling these “assests” since he can sell snow to Eskimos.

I know it’s just hockey, but the Predators scored 5 goals in the first 11 minutes to take a 5-0 lead over the vaunted Red Wings! WOW

Anders Mom – That is funny, I was wondering the same thing…Pizzaro is an arse but I like Anders…
Bubdylan’s comment about Actinopterygii and Elasmobranchii reminds me that I have to go to work on Monday so I need to go drink heavily (Jim Beam perhaps) so I won’t have nightmares about what I will be facing in the office when I get there…Nite all!
