uga, I don’t think you go far enough, re Johnson and Francoeur as swing players for a successful season. Need at least near-career years from Kotchman and Escobar, too. Oh, heck, the fact is that all the regulars will have to hit on all cylinders, LOL. No real mashers there, so all the guys with secondary power are going to have to hit their 12-to-20. All of them. That’s even if Chipper, McCann, and Francoeur all come out hangin’ and bangin’. The Braves are staring up at two 800-run offenses, and the pitching probably isn’t quite strong enough to make up 60+ runs of differential.
As far as Johnson, I do think he’s closer to figuring out what kind of hitter he actually is, and that should ameliorate some of his historical streakiness. I thought his interview was interesting in that he’s always said before that he didn’t care where he hit in the lineup, and I had the distinct impression that might no longer be the case. Maybe another sign that he’s decided on a specific, consistent approach.

7 of the final 8 correct on my bracket. Only Memphis tripped me up.
Of course my wife has 7 of 8 right too and she watches less basketball than the dog. She had FL St. in her final 8.
Question: If the Braves are shopping Anderson, that means they are pretty content on either Schafer or Blanco in center…isn’t that the correct way to read into that? Bowman mentions 2 teams interested other than the White Sox…any ideas who?

PWHjort (9:40 pm): “nolie, It’s important to consider the sample size. That being said, Baker makes no sense for the Braves. We’ve already got Infante and Prado on our bench and Baker can’t fill any role that Infante and Prado can’t. Along with Norton, Ross, and a 4th outfielder, that figures to be a very good bench.”
Agree that it’s a top-notch bench, but I couldn’t help reading between the lines.
“and a 4th outfielder”
Do you have some kind of reservations or doubts about Diaz? Isn’t he a shoo-in as the “4th outfielder”? Why didn’t you call him by name?

Everyone who notes that it looks like Diaz lost 20 pounds — that’s because he did. It was written here and elsewhere the day he reported to camp, and here in the blog again later with a mention of his P90X diet and all that, and then Carroll also did a followup story on him a week or so ago.
Anyway, yeah, 20 pounds.
And he is exactly as he came across in that TV interview. Funny, articulate, very down-to-earth.

So what do we think Ohman will eventually sign for? Makes me sick that we signed Glavine instead.
6 of 8 for me in the Elite Eight. Syracuse and UCLA were the ones messing me up. I hadn’t watched UCLA play this year but thought a UCLA team coached by Howland would be able to play defense. Not this year. (I also had UNC losing to ‘Cuse ’cause I didn’t think Lawson would hold up health-wise)

From that interview yesterday KJ seems like he’s a witty guy. Seems like he’s got some good one-liners and probably razzes on some fellow teammates(in a good way). He seems like he likes to have a good time, also seems like he’s really focused this year to have a big year. Also Matt Diaz is a great ballplayer on the field and in the clubhouse. I’m glad he’s on our team and seems like a great guy, also a funny guy.

TommyP, Glavine and Ohman play different roles (#5 LSP vs set up/LOOGY), so the money is not really relevant. Ohman’s asking price of $2 is just out of line for the current market and all of the teams know it. Glavine’s job is to provide some innings to decrease pressure on some of the kids and for political value after the Smoltz debacale. The Braves have a surplus of relievers and they are not going to overpay for Ohman. Not worth the worry and the events are unreleated.

Greg Norton really shone yesterday, with at least three good defensive plays to augment his 2 RBIs:
a nifty backhand grab of a short hop from Prado at 3B;
a sweet tippy-toe stretch to snag a high throw from Infante at SS; and
a laid full out stop of a grounder down the line, fumble, recovery and flip to Campillo covering (kudos also to Campillo on that play — good hustle and nifty footwork).
Norton’s ready, just in case Kotchman might not be.

Seriously though, PECOTA has him at 280/338/384 in 110 PA’s and CHONE has him at 297/355/409 in 445 PA’s. Quite the differing views. PWH
yes they are and the exact reason that I don’t give a fig about what PECOTA or CHONE or any other predictive system says. I’d be more interested in what PWH says. There are way too many variables in the game of baseball for any system to ever do a satisfactory job of prediction. They all come up with different figures, sometimes one is closer and sometimes the other, but mostly neither one is particularly correct. I’ve been into baseball stats for over 50 years and i like most of the new ones, but of what use are systems that regularly predict so different?.I think their biggest advantage is that they make make some people believe that one knows what one is talking about. Ooooh PECOTA says…wow.

To add in on the Diaz lovefest, I got one of the best surprises of my adult life when I got a baseball signed by him, written to me personally. In was a situation were my Dad knew a guy, who knew a guy, who knew a guy…really cool that he’d do that. Even though Anderson may start a majority of the time Diaz is gonna be crucial this season.
TommyP

northbeachScott: The Braves “surplus of relievers” is extremely bare in the lefty department. EXTREMELY. So scratch that statement.
And while he was looking for $2 million/season before, word is that he’s lowered his asking price.
Signing Glavine to lessen the Smoltz backlash is a losing way to run a ballclub. It truly is.
If Wren was prepared to make Smoltz an offer AND Glavine an offer before, he should’ve just combined that money and given it to Smoltz.
After he messed that up, just move on. We have a Tom Glavine that is coming off surgery for the first time (I believe that’s correct) and he’s ancient.
Guys….the plethora of bullpen help is devoid of talented lefties. None. Zero.

Thanks, Random.
I get the feeling you’ve been tooting that same horn for awhile around here. I just haven’t visited as much since the new format has begun and the play by play of spring training games.
Wren has done some fine things so far but also some very questionable ones. Moves questionable enough where you wonder if we have the Baltimore Wren or the Schuerholz Apprentice Wren?
I like our rotation 1-4. I absolutely LOVE the Lowe signing. The fact it came after the Burnett disaster makes me think he lucked into the situation. At least he got it done, however.
But signing an aged, recovering Glavine for PR purposes? It’s the way bad teams do business. The way the Pirates ran the organization for years.
If anyone feels like doing the research, how many lefties do our NL brethren have on the roster? Count only the ones that are major league tested.

Agreed on the bull-pen arms, lots and lots. The question is are any of them any good? MOYLAN, SORIANO, GONZALEZ have to perform to prove they’re fully recovered from surguries. RIDGWAY, LOGAN, O’FLAHERTY have had some moments but shaky often. Inconsistant at best. BOYER looks better than in the past. He may come through finally. BENNETT????? Not good, not good. Where’s OHMAN????? Waiting for that 2 million offer.

In response to the 4th outfielder/Diaz thing. I don’t know if a) Diaz is going to play like his 2007 season and be a regular (because I’m 100% not sold on Garret Anderson), b) Diaz is going to be a bench player, c) Diaz is going to be in a platoon role (in that case the 4th outfielder is some combination of Diaz and Anderson), or d) Diaz is going to suck like last year pre-injury and get relegated to the waiver wire. So I don’t know who that number 4 will be.

“I don’t give a fig about what PECOTA or CHONE or any other predictive system says” – nolie
CHONE is projecting the Braves lineup to score 4.93 runs per game. Obviously they’ll be fine if that happens, but who knows if they will. Do you think that’s an unreasonable figure? They have several guys with 800+ OPS capability, I think, and that bodes well IMO, but of course, some of those guys are pretty iffy, Frenchy and G. Anderson for sure. It should always be easier to project numbers for guys in their prime than up and coming or on the downside, don’t you think, and we don’t have a lot of the guys int their prime.

Regarding a 3B for the future……cant believe you folks missed looking at the Rockies 3B at AA……Tony Blanco! AA seems about right also……I wouldnt want our FUTURE 3b to be in the bigs already. We could get him cheaper……..perhaps get him in a package deal Blanco and a couple of AA pitchers for a package including Anderson. PS….there are a few folks who need to look again at how Glavine and Bennett are doing. I am definitely worried about Logan, O’Flaherty and Ridgeway.

I don’t get why we (Wren) thought our lefty situation was good in the first place. O’Flaherty has a career 5.91 ERA in 70 innings. Logan? 5.87 ERA in 110 major league innings.
Before spring training everyone was talking about the two new lefties Wren got for the bullpen. As if having two left-handed bodies in the bullpen was something great. Well my sister throws left-handed….doesn’t mean she’s good for a major league bullpen.

TommyP, what I was implying with the current bullpen surplus is that the Braves are in a position to deal from that surplus to address your LOOGY concerns. The surplus also enables the Braves the opportunity to see if either O’F & Logan can get the job done in the regular season and if not make a deal. It would make more sense to try this first rather than spend more money on Ohman.
While I like Ohman, there is no guarantee that he will be effective in 2009, and certainly since he has missed ST, he would not be ready for opening day.
Surely you cannot be so obtuse that you do not understand that bringing back Glavine (who has had a strong spring and is likely to be an adequate 5th starter) has helped mitigate the Smoltz debacle. Whether you recognize that was important, it was and it has helped put Smoltz behind us while preserving a link to the past Braves success. It would be different if Glavine were done, but it does not seem that this is so.
Also, it does seem that the BoSox really overpaid Smoltz in guaranteed money. The Braves were not going to do that regardless of the Glavine situation.
This unhealthy obsession by the fanbase with Ohman’s return as the panecea for all of the Braves relief problems is misplaced.

I think the organization just wants Josh Anderson out of our hair at this point. Trading him then letting Blanco have the job for 6 weeks until we bring up Schafer is probably the best scenario. Though I think we need to go ahead and call Schafer up after 2 weeks. So what if he’ll be a super 2, we’ve spent a ton of money this off-season and we need to win NOW.

John Schuerholz was a great general manager. However signing Maddux and trading for McGriff and Denny Neagle was a lot easier to accomplish with Ted Turner’s money available. JS found it a lot tougher without a gracious owner. Frank Wren know he can’t trade his top prospects (Hanson, Heyward, Freeman, Schafer). He did a outstanding job improving this team without giving up those players. Look who Schuerholz gave away the last few year with very small returns (Max Ramirez, Adam Wainwright, and the whole Texas package. Frank Wren know what he is doing. Give him a chance to build a team he believes will be successful

My bad Jim,
I didn’t read all of your parameters. Then without a doubt Rick Camp.

Scheduled relievers today are Gonzalez and Logan. Those are only two they announced, though others could and will probably pitch.

Question regarding mlb.tv…
I’m looking at getting the mlb.tv package. I know a bunch of folks on here have been using it this spring. How is the 400k feed?
Is it comparable to the standard definition tv picture quality? Or do you have to watch it in a little bitty window on your computer?
Is the motion smooth or jumpy?
Thanks in advance.
PS. Go Braves.

abwright, I have the 400K feed. It’s ok. You can watch full screen but the picture is a bit blurry and occasionally the feed stops due to buffering. I don’t know if it’s because of my computer/internet connection or whatever, but it’s something to be aware of.
All in all, I’m happy with it because an okay feed is better than no feed. If you have the cash and a fast connection, I’d recommend getting a better feed though. Oh, and be aware that you cannot watch any Saturday games between 1 and 7 (I think) because of FOX tv rights. Unless it’s showing on your tv, of course.

I was hoping to see Frenchy aka the natural?? do his thing today. I’m stoked hes making contact. It’s imperative he turns that plate discipline into power.

They said it went from flu virus to food poisoning and he should be back early next week.

How does it go from flu to food poisoning? That’s a tough break. Both of those can kill you.

Anderson should be kept. If we get to the playoffs, we need someone who can steal a base. We do not have that now and we won’t if Blanco is the extra OF on the bench. He is fast but he is not a stolen base threat.

The 400K feed ($79) is awful. The good news is, you can upgrade to for an extra $30 once you see for yourself. (Premium costs $109 a year.)
With that said, you should check your bandwidth with their speed test.. And check the recommended system requirements.

Huh? I think “needing a guy on the bench to steal a hypothetical playoff base” is much less important than “playing the best centerfielder” to in order to actually get to those same playoffs.

Yea Steve, It sounds like someone doesn’t know about roster limitations.
