We all know that Norton didn’t hurt his ankle so why don’t the Braves just go ahead and DFA him instead of this DL charade?

It would be nice to have someone who is actually accustomed to DH-ing when this team plays in the A.L. It seems that they have never taken advantage of an extra hitter in the lineup.
Francoeur for MVP!!!!

Hi – new poster here. With Norton’s power bat out of the lineup for two weeks, do the Braves have a shot at competing? I’m sure Bobby Cox’s genius ability will keep them in games, but can Francoeur carry the team without Norton and Infante? Maybe Garret Anderson? Thanks, I’ll hang up and listen.

Hopefully no balls are hit to Canizares. Vazquez is a fly ball pitcher, so maybe nothing is hit to the guy.

Hopefully Canzares can DH while the Braves play AL teams and maybe Prado will be healthy enough to play 1st.
Please, please, please DFA Norton.

Canizares DH’d in the minors (and probably in Cuba, I imagine), so you can say he’s accustomed to it.

Canizares does remind me of Andruw….

Someone must have told Vazquez about Barbaro’s defense and Francoeur’s offense. His strategy is 27 strike outs this game.

Sad that the Braves didn’t call up Barbaro until they saw Norton LIMPING. We all saw his LIMP bat and limp average … shouldn’t that have been enough?

Mentioned it on the last blog, but there are two interesting facts about two of the Braves Draft picks:
-Matt Crimm – I think I hit around .500 against him with 2 bombs in college, he’s was still a freshman then sophomore though. good arm.
-Stephen Montgomery – My JUCO roomate’s little brother.

JD And I know that it’s best to rest McCann on day games, but can we space out his off days a little better? This is his 3rd game off in a week I believe.
Counting the rain delay, yeah.

How about Ben Zobrist? He is a guy that would step right in (like Hawpe) and help this offense. The rays are in desperate need of an everyday catcher, and the braves have Ross who has proven to be more than a back-up. I actually like Zobrist much more than DeRosa. I would love to see a move made soon to sure up the OF/ Offense.
How about Zobrist for Ross, Acosta, and KJ? Pipe-dream?

I just noticed that Javy’s only had more Ks than IP once in his career. Is there a reason why he’s getting so many this season? Because he now has 20 more Ks than IP.
Not that I’m complaining, just curious

I wonder if McCann just told Vasquez not to make any quick throws over there?

If Canizares can really hit, Norton’s days are numbered.
Another thing, why does a NL related minor league club use a DH? We don’t call up a lot of DH’s.

Heath, what do you mean what has gotten into this guy? Javy is 2nd in the NL with 93 K’s, only 2 behind Tim Lincecum. Actually, I dont think that even counts todays start, so he may be leading the NL now with 5 so far. You act like this guy doesnt strike out a lot of guys.

Looking at Maholm’s stats, it’s hard to imagine him striking out the side. Especially hard to believe that given that he faced Francouer in that inning and that Frenchy was NOT one of the K’s.
