I normally like Ron Gant, but…
No way Heyward needs to be up with the big club right now. Yeah, he’s hitting well in A+ ball, but he missed a month…and it’s A-ball! JH is a great, great prospect, but he still needs some more time. I don’t want to see him get the Schafer treatment just yet.

What a day for Francoeur…
Starts off with a “Penny for his thoughts” and ends with TMI on Frenchies panties.
If his wife can’t wash them, maybe “Frenchy’s Maids” can get it done quicker.

Some fast starters so far at Danville: Robby Hefflinger already has 4 homers in six games, Adam Milligan (keep an eye on him) has 2 homers and 5 doubles in 6 games, Riaan Spanjer-Furstenberg is batting .600 with a homer, and Stovall, Oberholtzer, and Teheran have all looked decent so far. Yes, it’s 6 games in rookie ball. I’m that big of a prospect hugger. Deal with it.

Again the problem is not pitching, it’s lack of offense. The rotation is set for the next two years. Thats the least of our concerns. Right now we need a RH power bat. Francoeur is clearly not the answer and KJ is just mediocre. Package those two and get a rh power hitter, even if you have to rent a player. If you lose him next year what did you really lose two struggling players that deserve to be in triple A.

Lew, Hudson will have had a full 18 months (or close to it) by the time ST rolls around, and the Braves don’t have to make a decision on the option until the winter. Plenty of time to see if he’s worth it or not by the time of, oh, the winter meetings, say.

That’s more than enough time for me to dub Riaan Spanjer-Furstenburg our catcher of the future. He’d obviously be better than that scrub we got now…

IF, IF, IF-IF Huddy comes back. IF he pitches like he used to. The facts are we know how Vazquez is pitching (pretty freaking well). We have no idea if Hudson comes back strong. Even IF he comes back in a month and pitches OK from the pen, what have we really learned? How can you wait until Spring to make a judgement? Simple answer-you can’t. Both make the same $$$$. One would have to be traded to get the cash back. Take the known quantity and let the other Dude ride. No trade necessary. Let him walk and spend the cash on a bat.

i trust vaz plenty…for the MOR. hudson is coming off elbow surgery, not shoulder surgery, and shouldn’t be a “question”. typically big leaguers come back improved after such surgery.
there is a lot of credence being made here to trade lowe, extend both hudson and vaz for lesser dollars, and reinvest in offense.
the player i still want is dye, although we all know dunn is available.

ncscoots, Yes but Javy is proven to stay healthy, something Huddy has not. I like them both. I would like to have them both. But to keep both that means Lowe has to go. I will say it now. I would trade Lowe for nothingmore than a relief pitcher. I also would agree to pay a portion of his remaining salary.

Lew, LOL, you think the Braves aren’t going to monitor Hudson’s continuing rehab after October? That they’ll just not look him up until February and go, “Say, Tim, how’s it going? think you’ll be OK?”
C’mon, bro, you know better than that. Hey, Hudson may still have some setbacks, for all I know. I’m going on the 95%+ success rate of the surgery he’s had, and making a June assumption. All subject to revision. Besides, I’m not in favor of trading Vazquez today, at all.
TommyP

With Lowe, Jurrjens and Hanson, that’s a very solid 3 for the future. Huddy OR Vazquez makes it a formidable 4. Do you play it safe and go with Vazquez or the higher ceiling in Huddy IF he fully recovers?

I don’t understand all this pitching talk. Thats not the problem!!!
We just held a quality ballclub like Boston to a total of 6 runs in the entire 3 game series. We didn’t sweep because we sucked offensively, only 3 runs in the entire series. Thats pathetic and TP should be replaced.

when we are finally in the postseason and lowe is mowing down the best lineups in the game right now, we will be saying we got a great deal with lowe’s contract.

ncscoots, It sucks, and gonna suck when the day comes that FW is going to have to choose. Can’t trade the one that needs to go (Lowe). So, what do you do. If they do trade Javy, I ain’t gonna cry because I know we signed Huddy. And vice versa.

scoots-You have two players making the same $$$. One is pitching lights out and one is rehabbing from a major surgery. You can only keep one. One (the healthy one) you would have to trade (lots of fun trying to deal with that-so we’ve seen). The other (the surgery impaired one) you would just have to wave goodbye to. Seems pretty freaking obvious to me you take the healthy one and wave good bye to the other and go out and buy a bat.
Dude-they can monitor all they want (need we mention Mike Hampton and all the monitoring we did?), but watching him during the winter in totally controlled situations will tell them damned little-Spring Training is too late to wait. No matter how much we like Hudson and think he’s been great for us, he’s still an unknown quantity. Vazquez-no nearly as much. Seems simple to me. Bye bye Tim.

Excluding arbitration eligible player and those making the major league minimum, Atlanta has 72 million committed for 2010. Of which, some 11.5 million is coming off the books because Vasquez is the most likely to be traded. Leaving 61.5 million on the books.

jason, I’m confused on the “hurt Huddy” thing. Until last year, he’d never thrown fewer than 188 innings or made fewer than 27 starts. In fact, he only had two years of fewer than 30 starts, and had 29 in one of those. Seems to me that he’s a guy who answers the bell with regularity.

Again, I am not bashing Huddy. I just think at this time Javy is more established as a healthy starter when compared to Huddy. I want to keep them both.

He was injured his last year in OAK made 27 starts. he made 29 his first year with ATL, and then 35 and 34 before the elbow. Like I said. I want to keep them both. Whomever stays I will be satisfied, even if it is Huddy.

Coach — in this economy if you think ANY MLB TEAM would commit $13 million to a pitcher coming off major surgery than I am proud to have my head up my rear end.
Starting pitching is the only area on the Braves which is locked down — we can trot solid guys out there every day.
Commit the $13 million for Hudson to getting guys in here who can hit, hit with power, move guys along and produce 100 runs. And bring up the young guys together.

I think the Huddy/Vasquez discussion is just a tiny bit premature. Of course it’s easy to say get rid of Huddy and keep Vasquez now bc Huddy hasn’t pitched. But, if Huddy does come back reletively strong this year, you trade Vasquez because you’re much more likely to get something of value for him rather than just letting Huddy walk.

Vazquez and Prado are the true future of this team SCOOTS, you is just too doodoo headish to see that.
As for what I said about Hanson, I said he is a dart-thrower along the lines of Ortix and doesn’t use his lower body to generate power as much as I would like. Both add some arm stress, but I did not say he was gonna fail or be disabled because of it. Actually the gist of my comment was about the guy on DriveLineMechanics who didn’t bother to mention either of those points. It wasn’t really about Hanson per se

ncscoots, I think its because he has been gone for a year now. I miss him. He is tough as nails. I like his energy. I like looking into the dugout now and see him passing on the knowledge to Medlen and Hanson.
I also like Vasquez. I have liked him over his entire career. Back when he pitched for the Expos, I was like Damn we need to get this kid. He was kicking ATL’s but eveytime out. He would have broken out sooner had he stayed in the N.L.
It’s almost like most hitters can tranlate fromleague to league, but pitchers it is harder. Especially going from N.L. to A.L.

What a curve ball that Tommy Hanson has.
It’s BIG and the BOTTOM just drops out.
What a BIG BOTTOM curve.

hudson’s 2010 option is $12mm, not $13mm, and it’s a lot less than lowe is making. more, he’s coming back from elbow surgery, not exactly an unpredictable issue. he has also insinuated that he wants to end his career with atlanta, and may well do so for less money than the $12mm he’s due in the option. we might well extend him for 3/$30mm (speculation).
so trade lowe, extend hudson, trust hanson and jj, let vaz fill out the MOR, and leave kawi in the #5 until rohr or minor is ready.

rtrafford, I am for that. But how do we unload Lowe?

McFann-
McCann needs to get it together. Too bad they’re not actually going to Philly, then he could hit a few dingers and get his confidence back up.

The Nationals have shown interest in Schafer, what about Schafer for Dunn?

Who knows, maybe Huddy’ll be a team guy, realize that the Braves need to keep Vasquez and take less money to stay with Atlanta.

If Lowe continues to pitch the way he has, no one will want another 3 years.

Tim Hudson knows he will never be an effective pitcher ever again. That is why he has begun training for his new career as a pastry chef.

That’s a negative, ghostrider. You think we could convince them that CJ Lee is the next Andruw Jones?

McFann, BMac was sick. Take a day or 2 to get back to norm. Did you see my HR go about 5 foot foul. It was crushed. With the day off tomorrow, he should be ready to get back down to buissness on Tuesday.

nolie, guilty, to doo-doo-headish-ness (and how IS Charlie doing?). Free Marteen.
I got to get around to looking at the driveline site one of these days, I guess.

By the way, I cannot believe how Joe Simpson railed, and I mean RAILED, Escobar for not catching a throw from McCann that was five feet up the first base side AND it hit the runner (Game 2 of the Yankees series with Jeter stealing), but he will forever give KJ a free pass for his defensive woes. Did anyone see the hit by Varitek which Kelly missed (should have made they play to begin with) and then lied on the ground watching it trickle into right field? With KJ in the prone position, the 37 year old catcher turned it into a double (or 2 a base error if you’re Escobar) and the first thing Hater Joe says is, “That one is all on Varitek, the guy just hustles.” The second thing from his mouth is some nonsense about how Kelly must have hurt himself on the play. THEN, Kelly boots the very next ball because he is still thinking about the last play (a-la Escobar acting a fool on the A-Rod play) and there is no mention of Kelly, “playing for the name on the back of the jersey rather than playing for the name on the front of the jersey.” Of course, that’s one Of Chip’s dumb a** lines, but I’ll save my Chip rant for another day.
STOP being a hater Joe Simpson and show some equality when you casually shred players apart from the broadcast booth. You with your lifetime .242 batting average and your career .606 OPS.

Roman Gal–
Yeah…for once in my life, I actually want them to play in Filly…it’s bad, I know.
Course, that trip to Cincy’s GAB did him no good whatsoever…
Maybe a complete day off from baseball is just what the doctor ordered, so to speak…?
