Has it been mentioned anywhere what Cleveland is looking for in return for Derosa? Medlan would certainly get it done but would be too costly for the Braves in my opinion. How bout Canizares, Kelly Johnson, and Jo-Jo for him? Or one of the lower-level lefty prospects the Braves have? You’ve got to figure that the price couldn’t be that steep for half a year of Derosa. I don’t think the Braves need a superstar as many on year have suggested. Just a good hitter with some pop, and Derosa fills that description. I think most people would be happy with this lineup.
Mcclouth
Escobar
Chipper
Mccann
Derosa
Anderson
Prado
Kotchman
That to me would be lineup with good hitters with gap power who don’t strike out a lot all the way down. That lineup with the Braves pitching would be good enough to get in the postseason

To win in the playoffs, you need 2 dominant starters and a great closer. A deep rotation helps you little. All those years the Braves missed out on the WS ring, it was the lack of a dominant closer that was the difference.

I hate it when you guys complain that we usually get “dissed” by the national media. I hate to break it to you, but not too many people outside of Atlanta care about the Braves – especially a Braves team that’s struggling to be a .500 team.
Imagine the story…
Welcome to SportsCenter! Our top story – the Atlanta Braves lost 5-4 tonight. The Braves were shafted by a play at the plate, the umps sure blew that one. Bobby Cox continues to make questionable moves, and Terry Pendleton actually taught Jeff Francoeur how NOT to hit before the game. I don’t know about you guys, but I think Frank Wren should try trading Jo Jo Reyes for Jermaine Dye.
We now go to Hannah Storm with an in depth analysis on why Kelly Johnson is awful and not even good enough to play slow pitch softball. Hannah?

“We are the greatest team in the history of the game,” said Braves manager Bobby Cox. “When we take the field, the gods bow before us. It is indeed right and salutary for them to do so.”
“Did you not see me out there, plebeian? I am a living legend,” added Braves RF Jeff Francoeur, who went 0-for-3 with 1 K. “There is no task on a diamond that I cannot master.”

Gil, what do you think it would cost for half a season of Derosa? Look at what the Braves gave up for 3 cheap years of Mcclouth who to me is a five tool guy coming off of an all star season. They gave up Morton, whose minor league numbers were unimpressive before 08 and wasn’t going to be able to crack the rotation for the Braves, Gorkys whose a talented outfielder without any power, and Locke who gets lit up on a nightly basis. You got to figure that half a season of Derosa won’t come anywhere near the return of three cheap years of Mcclouth. Canizares is having a terrific year in Gwinnett. Got to figure that he would have some value. As would someone like Cole Rohrbough or the pitcher the Braves got from the Angels, can’t remember his name. My point is that the Braves can get a productive bat for half of a season without giving up any of the untouchable prospects or the borderline untouchables like Medlan.

In tonight’s South Atlantic League all-star game. Zeke Spruill received the nod as the starter and pitched an inning allowing a bloop single and a walk and struck out a batter. J. J. Hoover pitched the 4th inning striking out 2 batters on his way to retiring the side in order. Luis Sumoza didn’t start, but collected a single in 2 at-bats. Jesus Sucre was the last catcher used and he recorded a single in his only at-bat. Pretty good night for the Rome Braves in the SALLY League All-Star Game.

Well I’ll just let you know that if I ever complain it’s not that reason. I only get mad if they don’t say something about how good a starter was or the fact that the other team “got beat” and didn’t lose. It doesn’t matter if it’s ESPN,FOX, PTV, or a website. I don’t think they have anything against them. But yesterday a headliner on one website said something about Javy didn’t pitch well last night, and his first quote was…”I threw great tonight.”….lol

Back when ESPN was the only national outlet for baseball highlights and scores, I remember waiting, and waiting, and waiting, for a 10 second snippet on the Bravos, even when the Braves were on their 14 consecutive division title streak. I suspect there was some ESPN versus TBS competition for market share.
With the internet and now MLB Network, ESPN is no longer relevant. I haven’t switched it on this year.

It’s sad to hear that nobody outside of Atlanta cares about this team anymore. The day Turner Broadcasting was sold to Time Warner was one of the worst days of my life, in retrospect. It cost us years of great TBS baseball. I now have to beg my local TW to carry Peachtree here in North Carolina, and of course, no HD and really strange, no commercials. Man, it was great when you could travel to any town in America and still watch the Braves. I remember watching the great comeback in 91 from a hotel room in Rapid City. That’s the one where we came back to score six runs in the ninth to win. David Justice hit a homer to win the game. That was Braves baseball on TBS. Man, I miss it. Man, I miss Skip Caray and the Professor and Don Sutton. It just ain’t the same anymore. It sucks. It really sucks.

As you can imagine, a pleased clubhouse (though most of the guys were slow coming out because they were watching the Texas-LSU game in the players’ dining room.
Everybody praised Hanson’s bend-don’t-break act, his mental toughness, but perhaps even more praise was directed at the back end of the bullpen.
“Can’t say enough about the back of our bullpen,” said McCann, who praised Hanson’s gutty performance and called him a “special, special player.”
Bobby Cox: “Tommy would bend a little bit, then he would get out of it. That’s a sign of a pretty good pitcher, to get in those situations and you don’t panic.”
Hanson said he knows why his command’s not pinpoint like it’s always been in the minors, and he said he’s not concerned because it’s just a matter of slowing down and getting comfortable. He was pumped up to face the Yankees tonight.
“I made some good pitches, and some not-so-good. It was definitely a battle the whole game, and I’m glad to get out of there with a win….
“The walks are something I’ve never really experienced before,” said Hanson, known for pinpoint control in the minors. “I know what I’m doing wrong, and I’ve just got to correct it and slow myself down.”

And on the team’s performance the past couple of nights, he said they’ve played good baseball going back to the Boston series, even though they only won one of those games.
He indicated they need to not let up, not take anything for granted, not act as though they’ve turned a corner or whatever.
“We’ve just got to continue to do it,” he said. “Because we’ve been here before and then tailed off.”

cabravesfan–
Yeah, you have a point, I understand. Tom turned me onto the blog, quite awhile ago. I don’t post too much, but I do read it — so I know what you mean. Tom and I met a long time ago, playing ball. We both loved the Braves and the Packers. Unusual for growing up in upstate NY. I now consider him my best friend.
I caught my wife cheating on me with a guy from her work. I threw her out. Of course, at the divorce trial, the judge threw me out and gave her the house. Now I’m at ma’s. I asked Tom if I could move into his house (he owns a big 2 apartment house), but he said “no”. I can’t blame him, his downstairs flat is half storage and half gym. He said he likes to play loud music and sometimes jam, when he pleases, and can’t do that if someone else has to be considered. However, he said he’ll be living in his rented place, in the Mts., most of the summer, and I can stay here while he’s gone. As a matter of fact, he encouraged it. (Rather have someone here to keep an eye on the place) I’m in his house and using his computer as we speak.

There’s no question that Hanson is definitely not another Chucky James or Kyle Davies. His demeanor and mentality to go with his stuff is getting him wins and that’s with the conrtrol problems. How many times have we see veteran pitchers, much less a rookie, lose control during a game and the other team is quickly up by a touchdown? Not this kid.
Liked Jeter giving Hanson that look after he walked like, “good battle”. I don’t like Jeter because he’s a Yankee but he’s a future HOF and he gave Hanson a look back of respect.

On the subject of Tommy Hanson.
His performance tonight was more of a mix of Houdini and raw talent than pitching. Notice this: ALL of his walks came with runners on base. He is having some kind of mechanical breakdown pitching from the stretch. Hanson is commanding his fastball but the breaking stuff needs work. I think he might be working just a tad bit to fast.
The Yankee’s ran with absolute abandon tonight, stealing four bases. Hanson does not do a good job of holding runners on, nor is his pick off move all that impressive. He’s getting by for the moment but believe you me, the opposing scouts will catch up.

MINOR LEAGUE REPORT:
Opening day for Danville and the Gulf Coast Braves…
Gulf Coast lost 9-8…the 5 errors seemed to do them in.
Alot of guys who were in the Dominican League last year are on the team so honestly I don’t know too much about them. Kyle Rose, our 8th round pick(I think) this year, is there starting in CF and he went 0-2.
The top prospect, at least in terms of position prospects, is C Christian Betancourt. We signed him last year out of Panama to a pretty good bonus. He’s ONLY 17 so watch out for him. He went 1-4 2B, BB, RBI on opening day.
Danville, on the other hand, was really impressive winning 8-3. Julio Teheran, an 18 year old pitcher who’s one of the Braves’ top prospects, started and gave up 2 ER on 5 H in 3.1 UP. He walked none, struck out 5, hit 3 guys, and picked off a guy. There’s a lot of hype around him but I don’t know how high you can rate a guy who has had arm issues already and hasn’t been too successful in pro ball. The stuff is there though…we’ll se eif he puts it together.
It’s the prospects who really shined in the game. 4th Round pick Mycal Jones went 3-6 with 4 RBI’s and was a HR short of the cycle. 5th Round Pick Robert Hefflinger went 2-5 with an RBI. 17ish Round Pick Riaan Spanjer-Furstenberg went 2-2 HR, 2 RBI, BB. One of the mid-round picks this year, Casey Masters threw 3 2/3 hitless, scoreless inning and struck out 8.
A kid drafted last year and was shut down due to an injury, Adam Milligan, made his professional debut as well and went 3-6, 2B, RS.Braves have drafted him twice so they really like himm.

Awesome. I love the Aussie
Bear-
Hey- if he’s going to spend all summer in the mountains…
Space Monkey-
I think it’s safe to say at least a third of the people on the blog are NOT from Atlanta, or even Georgia…I’m sure not and I care about the Braves a lot- maybe too much

Don’t know but speaking from a woman’s point of view- that comment totally cracked me up

McFann, Got your 2B tonight. I got my HR. Pretty good night huh? Now if we can work on his throwing…
My little nagging perspective. Hanson is working to much. Thowing to many pitches. I love the make up and the poise. McCann or Ross needs to tell him that he has arrived. He is a MLB pitcher, and he won’t be going back to Gwinnet any time soon. Just relax. If he gets the pitch count down this season, he will win ROY. He has it all. And Yes I agree with who said the difference between him, Davies, Reyes and etc was between the ears is right. He has the “IT” Factor. The stuff of Maddux, Glavine, and Smoltzie. The stuff noone can explain. Great job tonight, great win. ATL could have done things better, but what they have done tonight and the Redsox series is fight, and show some life. About time, the Braves have a pulse. They know they are going to have to scratch and claw for every win. This will only make them better in the years to come.

moylan was probably the player of the game. faced four hitters and got five outs.
after the jeter dp he got swisher, tex and a-rod in order in the seventh. nice job mate.

Roman Gal-
That is truly a disappointment! Heels, stairs and beer is all you need (of course you are too young to drink, right?
)

cabravesfan— if you prefer, you can call me Ed. Bear is an old nick-name.
you said, ” tell him to find a computer”. He can find the best computer in the world, there’s just no access. I guess via satellite, would be the only way.
You also said, “Hey- if he’s going to spend all summer in the mountains…” I’ve been down there, it’s to die for. He works his butt off all year so that he can do that in the summer. As he has said, “it’s a slice of heaven”. I can’t disagree.

Hey McFann, I know you are just elated. McCann got you a double and topped off with one out of here. Enjoy!!

Is there anything Randy Johnson can’t do? According to yahoo, he has -2 blown saves.

Bear-
I actually like “Bear” if it’s all the same
Hey- I’ve got a place in the Sierras…we manage internet and regular phones but cell service is highly sketchy (and the internet is not the most reliable)
I agree that it is heaven- he sent a link to the satellite photos- it’s beautiful. And he’ll know I’m joking (at least I hope he does
)- I just enjoy our late night chats and I’ll miss him

Another great night at the Ted. It would be a darn shame if that Gonzalez/Soriano tandem are never given a chance to shine in October together. That’s some Rivera/Wetteland ‘96 magic going on there.

cabravesfan—
As I said before, I don’t post much, but I do read. At least when I can. When there are any posts, concerning Tom, I obviously pay more attention.
These posts are permanent, and I have to watch what I say because he may see them (and he’s letting me stay here until I find a place). But from his adamant request, on his phone call, I believe he enjoys your late night chats, as well.
