His final MilB year (combined at three levels) .339-34-92.

Hernandez isn’t even in the same stratosphere.

However the McCann/Francoeur situations are more comparable to Hernandez. Guys don’t fall for one of Coaches stupid pipe dreams.

I don’t see how you can hold this position while at the same time acknowledging that Wren decided to go with Schafer and that he did acquire GAnderson, and according to you:

“GA is actually playing below expectations and so is Shafer.”

If these two were playing up to expectations, there would be no OF production problem.

So Wren did do something to address the outfield production problem — it just hasn’t worked out as reasonably expected (yet).

“CY, the Braves lucked out with McCann. I thought he could’ve used more seasoning at the time, but they needed a catcher (if I recall), so their hands were a bit tied…”

Yeah and now they need a center fielder.

Be a neat trick to get Baldelli from the Rays. He signed with Boston in the off season.

Who knows, Jeff might not be even in the conversation involving a trade. It could all be a bunch of BS stirred up by Bowman and whoever else. I don’t care, as long as JF starts hitting, or at least can pop a few more out of the park. I do like him but I have the feeling he’s unbelievably stubborn.
