“Schafer will be sent to AAA to start the season.
Placing Jordan on the major league team sends him the message that: “We think you’re a wonderful player and can’t wait to see you play for the Braves.” By sending Schafer to AAA, Wren (or more likely Bobby) can sit him down and say “Jordan, you’ve got some unbelievable talent. I think one of the main reasons you’re being sent down is your tendency to over-swing with two strikes and risk the strikeout. While you’re in Gwinnett, I want you to work on your plate coverage. Work on defending the plate with two strikes. Don’t lose your aggressiveness as a hitter, just focus a bit more on cutting back the strikeouts and defending the plate. If you can work on this for us, there may be a spot for you out in centerfield in a month or two in Atlanta.”
Yeah, when the Braves did the same thing to Frenchy last year, he was gone for what?……five days? LOL Yeah, that’s the kind of thing the Braves do. The Braves have never given a rat’s azz about strikeouts. Frenchy and Andruw and any number of recent Braves have proven that.

PWHjort, well I consider Ibanez a slight upgrade in Left because, while he doesn’t hit for as much power as Burrell, he is more consistent, and is a better fielder. Not a big difference though, overall.
Pretty much the same team as last year. And again, without the punching bag in ATL they had last year, they’ll have to raise their level of play if they’re going to win 90 this year.

Also, I wonder if there is a part of Frank Wren that wishes that he didn’t resign Glavine now that we’ve all seen that Tommy Hanson is ready for the Majors? – Robert(Chipper Is The Best)
No. He knew Hanson was ready (or extremely close) months ago, hence why he wouldn’t trade Hanson to San Diego in the Peavy deal. According to a DOB story a few months back, Wren went up to Hanson in person to tell him he wouldn’t be traded while he was in Arizona. That should tell you precisely how much stock Wren put in Hanson way before ST. Keeping Hanson on a regular pitching schedule (and hungry for the majors) in Gwinnett was the right move. Not to mention the obvious part of delaying his arb-eligible clock.

KC, just because the Braves have solidified the team this year and it is much less likely that the whole pitching staff (it seemed) will totally crumble because of injuries, it does not guarantee that the Braves will fare any better against the Phillies. Even when the Braves were winning the division there have been teams that have had their number — teams that were not any better than (usually not as good as) the Braves. I certainly hope we are not their doormat this year, but I want to see it before I breathe easy about it. (I don’t really get up tight about it, but I sure do wish we would do better against them.)

I think Ohman is worth $1.5 million/year+incentives. That is reportedly what he’s down to asking.
I think his performance last season is enough for Wren to justify his resigning.It may well turn out that what we have is enough. Ohman has handled the situational role effectively. We do not know if anyone currently on the roster can do so.
I’m afraid without the situational guy, Boyer and Acosta are going to have to pitch more because Bobby will have to use a righthander where he could’ve used a leftie if he had one that could get outs like Ohman did last season.
There really is something weird about Ohman remaining unsigned at this point.Perhaps he’s betting he can get more if he waits until the end of ST?

to be exact on Ohman: Will Ohman seeks a one-year, $1.75MM deal with easily-reachable incentives for another million. He also prefers the West Coast
BTW_ I believe a team will sign him up beofre the season starts
Also MLBTR says Ohman to Pirates is possible:the Pirates have ramped up their interest in free agent lefty Will Ohman. The Bucs made an offer Saturday for one year plus an option, and Ohman’s agent countered yesterday. Ohman’s still looking for a $2MM salary. Dialogue is ongoing with the Pirates

Time for us Bravos to get tough. If Schafer is clearly the best CF then send Blanco to AAA and waiver Josh A at the last minute.
If JA is not the best player for CF then why care about a meaningless loss of personnel……… the extra excitement and $$ Schafer will bring right away will pay big dividends for the psyche of us fans who MAY buy tickets and shirts (etc) this year.
Ride your profits and cut your losses quickly… FWIW Schafer is uber quick around the bases and probably faster than JA

PTBNL, NOTHING is guaranteed. We can’t predict the future. We can only talk about likelihoods right now. With that in mind, I have to say that it is EXTRAORDINARILY unlikely that the Braves/Phillies will be anywhere near that lopsided (16-3) again. Even if the Braves had NOT improved their team significantly, another season series that lopsided would be unlikely. But with a vastly improved Braves team… I’d bet my Warren Spahn rookie card (if I had one) against it.
Again, nothing is impossible, but as I see it, the season series could go either way this year. And it is highly unlikely that either team (the Braves or Phillies) will absolutely own the other, as the Phillies owned the Braves last year.

Thanks N Nine, that’s still reasonable I think given his effectiveness.
I’ve stopped placing a lot of weight on where players reportedly prefer to play. We were told the Braves were a preference of Peavy’s and we all know how that turned out.
Then there was all this talk about how Sabathia wanted to play on West Coast, and well, he’s a Yankee now. So, I wouldn’t be scared off by that West Coast thing.
I suggested trading away Logan and O’Flaherty and that $805k right there!
I bet if the Braves offered @million he’d take it.I’d at least like to see them make an attempt though I’m not holding my breath.

The Bear his current contract has nothing to do with the trade. That contract was not signed when he was acquired.”
———
I am fully aware of his contract and when he got it. Only after turning in a good performance in 07 did the Braves sign him to the two year monstrosity he is under now (its second year). That was a mistake in my opinion and I am sure I am not alone.
Soriano worked a good deal (or his agent did) when he signed that two year contract.
What I reported was that the people in Seattle said he was either perpetually sick or injured and many of them were mysteries. I think we are now seeing what they were talking about. I don’t know why the man doesn’t seem to want to work hard and participate but if he wants a career after 2009 he sure as he11 better get to cracking. Who is going to want to sign him for anything if he turns in another year like 2008?

Doc Holiday, buckle in… I’m sure you’re about to be lambasted for that prediction. But I think you could be right.
I think the Braves will, in all likelihood, finish near the top (of not AT the top) of the league in ERA and hitting, and at least top 5 or 6 in the league in runs scored.
This Braves team is likely to hit for a fairly high team average. Not a lot of homers… but more than many people expect, and they’ll have a chance to lead the league in doubles this year. If Francoeur bounces back as it appears he will, the Braves have a number of BIG doubles hitters in this lineup. And that is especially significant when you consider how well these Braves hitters hit with RISP.
Escobar, McCann, Chipper, Kotchman, KJ, and G.Anderson… all hit very well with RISP last year. And if Francoeur and Diaz get back to pre-2008 form – or better (as it appears they will)… you can add two more players to the list of good clutch hitters.

Well, the season is almost ready to begin. I am most proud of the fact that my Nortron 5000 cyber-hitting unit is new and improved this year. It is not only more life-like (it spits! simulated saliva, of course) it has more useful auxiliary functions. It has a new chip that will allow it to prepare the tax returns of the other players while it waits to pinch hit. Chipper loves that!

Bear – Soriano’s agent accepting the second year at $6.1 mil was the tell in that poker hand. Why would he give away Soriano’s first year of FA for $6.1 mil when he was assumed to be the Braves closer? Closers were going for a minimum of $ 10 mil per at that point. He left a lot of money on the table in the second year to pick up maybe an extra $1 mil in the first year. Given Soriano’s elbow history there was absolutely no reason for Wren to give him that extension. The Braves thought they were getting a bargain and got burned. Even if he does pitch this year as a set up guy he’s terribly expensive.
I’m telling you, the guy knows he’s damaged goods and can’t string together two months of effective pitching. He took the money and ran. At least Hampton wanted to pitch.
Did DOB ever give the update on Soriano that he mentioned in the blog?

Look for a new Brave soon. Wren is probably hot on the trail for a lefty in the pen, I’ll betcha. Especially now with Soriano’s health ? and Logan and O’Flahtery apparantly looking lost out there, that pen is almost gauranteed to be on his mind. Someone mentioned earlier about Chip Carey thinking Atl. will trade for a bat. HUH? I don’t think that would even be on Wren’s mind until maybe the summer and that’s only if they’re in contention and they don’t have to trade a ton. Maybe he did mean later in the summer, but that’s still doubtful, I think.

My only objection to what you said to Bear (11:20), was how can you fault the Braves wasting money, when (do you really want to get me started?) Omaya has spent 50% more and has received 50% less, than the Braves have. I know I’m prejudiced, but I believe our 92 million $ payroll, will kick the hell out of your 142 million $ this year.

No, DOB did not get that update. DOB and Bowman asked Cox about the cuts and about Lowe and about the left-handers struggling and about center field after the game, and DOB realized when they went upstairs that everyone had forgotten to ask about Soriano.
But earlier in the day, when a reporter approached Soriano to ask a question, Soriano waved a finger, sort of like Dikembe Mutombo, as he headed to the trainer’s room, not to be seen again before the clubhouse closed.
Thanks for checking on DOB, Anders.

DOB – you sound like Kenny Powers in that last entry. The old talking about yourself in the 3rd person bit is really quite weird.

If Pit. does sign Ohman it could mean Grabow might be traded for prospects or whatever they’d want. It’d make sense for them to that if they’re looking for youngsters. We got em..wonder how much Grabow is making?

Anders (11:41), you’re on to me. When I was imprisoned, for maiming Mets fans, it was a choice of 5795 or 6986. Not one to be a hyprocrite, I chose the former. Sorry about spelling your GM’s name wrong. Between the NCAA’s on TV, and trying to cook dinner, I’m losing some of my focus. Unfortunately, I don’t start off with a surplus. And, pretty soon, everybody will forget your GM’s name. Comparing your GM is to AIG, is a work of art. In that capacity, yeah, he’s the man!

When I lived in the UK we used to play a cricket team called 5795, turns out they were formed by a group of guys from a Synagogue and that was the year that they were formed in the Jewish calendar.

Gotta shoot free throws better than Memphis did tonight. Ain’t that right, Rock Chalk DOB?
I think Calipari will go to Kentucky. Seems like a natural for him.

Is the Memphis/Mizzou game on a different channel or something? Why has CBS kept it on Nova/Duke?

olie, what the heck is wrong with you? I’m not allowed to say the same thing I said last week, and during the entire offseason…resign Ohman? I can’t say that I’m worried about the situational leftie spot? What kind of crap is that? KIRK
you are reading with your emotions. That again is not what I’m saying. Of course you can say whatever you think, but the short little one liners lately make it sound to me like you are putting down those who disagreed with you by referencing things that were never really said. You have indicated twice that we said that Logan=Ohman and that just is not what was said or meant. I believe that PT feels the same way at least to an extent.
I still do not believe that anybody is saying that they would not want Ohman if the Braves would get him. Even though Dave has assured us a number of times that they are not interested, I too would like them to reapproach him, but it isn’t gonna happen I guess.
Your statement that the Logan=Ohman guys were quiet I found irritating because there were no Logan=Ohman guys that I saw.
I’m not trying to censor your opinions or your right to express them, heaven knows that I express some unpopular one at times.
If there has been a mis-communication and you were truly not taking a shot at PT or myself, then I apologize.

Steve McP, (12:05) you’re not going to believe this, but when we were kids, in the good old USA, we used to play a game called, McP. Tell me how your 5795 game went, and then I’ll tell you about our McP game. I’m thinking that our McP game was nastier.

spotts do you really not know why it was kept on the duke game?? Some kind of bias I would say. I am an ACC guy and just can’t stand the bias sometimes

The rest of the time, all I listen to is ABBA. BB5795
Isn’t that band like from the 70’s? And weren’t they really bad in the 70’s?
