Also note that this interview was done this morning before the game, probably at one of the lowest points of this season. Not that winning one game changes his opinion but..

Bank Walker: I’ve seen Yunel Escobar on Web Gems. In fact, he had one last week.
And no, I don’t recall Nick Green having a particularly strong arm. Certainly nothing remotely close to Furcal or Escobar.
I just remember him being a decent utility player and a great guy.

DOB, you’re right about the Tar Heels. ASU has their number. The bullpen stinks. Looks like Carolina’s trying to emulate the Braves of the early ’90s. Make the postseason every year but never close the deal.

Thanks for the report, ver-r-r-y-y interesting.
I’m looking at the comment about “…picking up a paycheck…” and then the last answer about preparation. So does he think the guys just want to get by to the next check, and not put any real effort into playing? If an attitude of indifference exists on the team….ouch!!!! I hope not. And does the preparation and trying hard mean the players just aren’t of the caliber to put the team over the top. And is he speaking of the hitters only? Certainly the pitchers seem to be doing their part, well most of them, other than a couple in middle relief. Wow, questions pop up all over the place with that interview.

Here is some good news for fellow Braves fans. The Marlins-Red Sox game is in a rain delay. Top of the 6th, Marlins up 2-1. If they can get this game started again, that means that the Red Sox will have a long night, hopefully affecting their energy level tomorrow night against the Braves.

What is the story on a couple of our guys in Gwinnett, Kody Kirkland and Brooks Conrad. I have seen the stats, and they both aren’t spring chickens.
Range, arms, upside?? Curious as to your thoughts on these two guys.
If our guy Escobar were dealt (not that I want him to be), could Conrad cover shortstop for a while?

Many, many years ago, when I managed a crew of technicians, I fired one of my best people for not adhering to our escalation guidelines, which put my company at a monetary risk. Did this after repeated attempts to get this gentleman to change his ways.
After the firing, the entire team tightened up and we became a much better crew.
Does BC and FW need to release somebody, to send a message? Not saying who that person should be, although my first guess would be Garret Anderson.
Whaddya think?

WAYNE:
I’ve got to plead ignorance here, and defer to someone who’s actually seen them on the field this year. I remember that CONRAD turned some heads in ST as I believe DOB reported. As you know, stats alone really don’t give a complete picture of what’s going on with a player at the moment. Maybe McFANN’s been to a few games or CARROLL ROGERS. Both seemed to indicate during the offseason that they would be able to attend in GWINNETT. Like you I’ve followed the numbers this year. I know KIRKLAND’s been picking it up since a tough start after his promotion, and CONRAD’s average has been slowly rising of late, but neither was at RICHMOND last year so I can’t speculate on arm strength etc. Sorry. Believe me when I say I would love to help. BTW, still no definite plans going forward here re: professional baseball. Next dead-line August 1. KIRK, a front man for CAL RIPKIN is currently making proposals to the city.

“I’m not going to pitch or do anything in baseball until at least next year.” Glavine stopped short, according to Fox 5, of announcing his retirement, saying he plans to be “a full-time dad.”

Wayne, I think the moral of your story, is that since you let one of your better guys go, it showed the crew that NOBODY’S job was secure. Thus got them to work harder and come together a bit.
Releasing Loaf does nothing but tell the guys that THEY are not the problem…. Loaf was. I think to have the same affect, one of the better guys, or favorites needs to be let go.
My vote is for Jeff. If they REALLY want to show the team, the city of Atlanta and their fans that they are serious about “not taking it anymore”, let the golden child, the chosen one, the “natural”, the local boy go.
Wren has already shown no “heart” or favortism towards fan favorites or legends. Dumping on the local hero would show that he’s about winning and not about marketing.
At least that’s how I’d take it.

So? That’s kind of the truth. I don’t know if you saw Roman Gal’s fine posts this afternoon, but we’re 4th in the majors in production from both our infield and starting pitching. 30th (and by a good margin) from the outfield. That’s kinda the point of fixing our team, right?
In every recent interview I’ve heard from FW, he’s said the same thing. There really aren’t any guys on our roster right now that are dragging the team down besides Jeff and GA (well, Kelly too, but he can actually improve…).

“Tom Glavine told Buck Lanford of Fox 5 Atlanta that he won’t pitch in 2009.”
On a similar “Breaking News” type of release, I’m telling the DOB/Carroll Rogers blog, that I won’t be releasing a new movie this year. I just plan on being a “full time blogger”.
Too funny. It’s easy to announce that you “won’t” be doing anything when NOBODY is interested in hiring you to do so.

DOB is about to announce that he’s not going to be fronting any of the Bon Jovi tribute bands located around the country.

Oh, don’t get me wrong guys (Steve, Wayne), Loas HAS TO GO!! LOL!
I should have clarified that.
But our “infield” is ranked higher, partially because Escobar and McCann are hitting at a high level. I’m actually OK with Kotchman (said it many times) because of his defense. He’s about the ONLY one that I think is immune to Chipper’s comment about the defense being “just north of horrbile” (that was a GREAT article/interview, btw).
KJ’s a weak link. Backup/utility/bench guy (with Infante out) is a weak link, and BOTH corner OF spots are a weak link.
3 of the 8 guys HAVE TO go.
My point, was that to send the same type of “message” that Wayne’s firing did (of one of the better guys), simply releasing Loaf wouldn’t send that message.
They might get “tighter” and perform better, by default. Meaning that eliminating one of the weak links, certainly isn’t gonna make the team worse.
But make no mistake. Loaf has to go. (I hesitated for a LONG time in calling him “Loaf”. But I’m left with no choice. It’s just too damn funny).

Wayne, I really don’t see how dealing Escobar is going to help the team. I really don’t. Seeing as that he’s besting Jose Reyes and Jimmy Rollins in equivalent average, equivalent runs and OPS, I don’t see how it’s going to make the club better now. Adding the right piece in the outfield can make us a contender for 2010. Subtracting Escobar from that really takes away from it, unless we get that OF bat in return, and a league-average SS to replace him.
Still doesn’t make sense to get rid of a + bat and a ++ glove at a premium position IMO.

N8, so what if our infield production is coming from Mac and Yuney? It’s still there, and likely won’t go away. I’m disappointed in Kelly, but I think if we had a big-time slugger and a productive Jordan Schafer in the OF, we could live with him because he has shown that he can be an above-average 2B for the last two seasons (and a great one in 2007). I don’t know if he’ll ever return to those levels, but with just two more good hitters in the lineup, we could live with him IMO and get more value out of Infante and Prado as super-subs.
Kelly playing at 2B (at his previous levels) and using the supersubs as, well, supersubs maximizes the value of all three IMO, especially with Chipper certain to miss games. At this point we’ve got to get Prado playing time though. Still high on Kelly’s potential though.

I agree. You certainly don’t trade a guy who isn’t even arb eligible yet, who is a key part of your offense and defense for just anybody. They would have to get a very significant return for Escobar to make it justifiable. I was even opposed to trading him for Peavy…that’s how much I think he means to the team.

i have watched quite a few games this year, and i can’t figure out why y’all call GA Loaf. I’ve never seen him fail to hustle. Maybe he exudes a relaxed attitude between plays, but i’ve never seen him fail to run out a ground ball, or allow extra bases because of a lackadaisical play in the field.

I was looking up a few players I used to track, and while drilling into the Milwaukee Brewers AA team, I found they have a CF’er named Logan Schafer…..no lie!
I wonder if the Dodgers would give up Jason Repko for a mid level prospect? Dude was supposed to be a very good OF’er, then got hurt a few years ago. Doing OK in AAA this year.

Tigers Bench Magglio Ordonez Indefinitely
By Howard Megdal [June 18 at 7:13pm CST]
News comes from Tom Gage of the Detroit News that the Tigers are benching Magglio Ordonez indefinitely.
Ordonez hasn’t been terrible with the average or plate discipline, but his power has disappeared. His season line is .273/.347/.343 entering Thursday’s game, and with two home runs all year, he simply hasn’t been a middle-of-the-order hitter.
Between Ordonez’s benching and the news that Carlos Guillen may not return this season, the Tigers are facing a power deficit. While they are in first place now, it is hard to imagine they will stay there all season without adding some offense.
Keep in mind, Ordonez receives $18MM in 2010 if he gets 135 starts or 540 plate appearances in 2009, or 270 starts or 1,080 plate appearances in 2008-2009 combined. Considering he had 144 starts and 623 plate appearances in 2008, that means his benchmarks are actually 126 starts or 457 plate appearances in 2009.
Consider that Ordonez is already at 57 starts, 242 plate appearances in 2009, and figure “indefinitely” will mean “most of the time” for the remainder of the season.

Wayne–I don’t know if those young AAAA type fillers are really on our radar. The way I see it, we’ve got one OF locked up long term in McLouth. We’ve got another that, even if he fails, we’ll stick with for the next two years or so in Schafer locked up. Heyward is on track for 2011, so we’ll need an OF for the rest of this year and one more, ideally. So I’ll bet Wren is hunting for that type of bat. Granted, he can always acquire a guy and then re-trade him, but I don’t see him trying to acquire a young, unproven guy. Gotta get a proven stick.

If it doesn’t help him feel at home at home, it certainly wouldn’t on the road…I miss good Kelly.

I think his numbers are slightly deceptive because I feel like he’s hit into bad luck.

Yup. He’s a keeper. I think for the next decade or so, we should continue to thank Wren for NOT including him in any trades, ESPECIALLY the Peavy trade.
Still doesn’t make the way the Glavine thing was handled right. But until it was posted that Glavine “wasn’t going to pitch”, I had actually, pretty much forgot about him.

Wayne–love all rock from the 60’s to th 90’s. Mostly don’t like much new rock. Like a little grunge. Mostly a classic Van Halen/Zeppelin/Boston/Stones/Doors/Metallica kinda guy. Like a lot of “deep cut” stuff from different bands, too.

Steve,
Definitely. While 2010 is the focus, it would sure be nice to make a run in 2009 like you state. I just don’t know if we can pull it off without paying too steep of a price.
One thing is certain, FW is certainly capable of surprising us! Let’s hope he has another trick up his sleeve.
Gotta run and get “Hannitized” tonight!
Later….

I actually prefer 60’s to either 70’s or 80’s…huge Dylan fan in particular

I know. I was going to say “full time dad” like Glavine said, but I’m not really gonna make fun of somebody spending time with their kids, and since I’m already qualified in that category (fulltime dad), I thought I’d choose something else.
But apparently, according to you, I’m qualified for that too, huh?

Roman Gal-
I was under the impression you are in college- which makes you at least 8 years younger then me…and I like Bon Jovi, & G&R too but The Outfield? Really?

Steve from OH: I say get rid of Frenchy and platoon in RF. Call up Schafer when he starts hitting and let him play a killer LF. His defensive abilities are beyond any Atlanta OF right now.

Hmm…I implied earlier that Kelly wasn’t doing well at home. That isn’t exactly right. He’s doing fine at home. Horribly on the road, but alright at home nonetheless.

We all have our quirks. I love 80’s music. I love dance music. And hey, I was born in the 80’s…so it’s not completely unrealistic to think I could like music from the decade I was born, right?

cabravesfan–love the James Taylor stuff too. I’m glad DOB posts music lyrics here b/c he’s keyed me on to some good stuff, too. Still love my 80’s R&R though.
NewBraveWorld–I’d put Schafer in CF. Move McLouth to left/right. I dunno if Frenchy will be let go during the season, but I’ll be shocked if he’s non-tendered, barring a complete 180.
