Jason, there’s no way in hell I’d trade Esco for Guillen, even if Royals paid part of his salary. JF well I’d trade him for a doz- eggs. Royals do wish to move Guillen to get rid of that 12 million, but I don’t want him.

“There is some speculation that the Braves might consider moving Escobar to the outfield.” (Gordon Edes) http://ca.sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=ge-fullcount070309&prov=yhoo&type=lgns
HAHAHAHAHAHA. I’m never paying attention to anything he writes again.

I think it might work out in our favor if maybe we could trade for Shin soo Choo. He seems like a good RF option and he is still fairly young. Any other opinions?

Gordon Edes also is saying the Braves are considering moving Escobar to the outfield-What??? This may be the dumbest thing I’ve read by a writer in awhile. Why would you a good defensive shortstop who is above average offensively -stupid.

Bill, I wasn’t saying to do that deal. I was using it as an example as to how hard it is to make a deal at this time.
pryguy, you do know where you can put that “idiot”, right? You can disagree, but you can also kiss my Arse if you can disagree with some respect. Now towhat I meant by that post. JS was a great GM. A hof, you are right, but that trade was the worst one as a GM. Yes, he went for the win, but there was no way we were going to win with all the problems we had. ATL had a run of 14 division winners. Everything must come to an end. We should have started rebuilding sooner. FW has done a freat job with the mess of that trade. We lost a ton of prospects in that deal. I know you will throw out that Andruws is the only piece we lost. No, we lost more. we lost minor league depth. As, you can see now, we don’t have much on the farm to deal or replace any piece that we want to deal.

Yeah, I guess Prado would work in the leadoff spot…
Jason With Esco there, there will be consistencey behind Chipper.
Oooo! Ouch!
No, really, I think it would work. Just think BMac needs to get outta the cleanup spot…and doesn’t Escobar lead our team in RBI, anyway?
Ron R Chipper and BMac seem to be coming out of their slump
BMac still needs to quick striking out…when he stops swinging and missing all the time, then we cann say he’s out of it…

CB, Francouer? I know that’s why I am saying that we are stuck with him at the moment. If FW was stupid enough to deal Yune and JF for Gullien, we would be stuck with Gulliem’s 12 mil? and we would only be trading 5 mil at the most. So, we will be paying out an additional 7 mil. Not good buissness sense when you say that we can’t add payroll.

Yeah, I don’t get it. What on earth is he talking about? Take a guy who plays almost plus plus defense at SS and hits about average for an OF buy well above average for SS, and move him to OF? That’d be the world’s most massive mis-allocation of resources I’ve ever seen.

Adding Prado to the lineup has been like making a trade for a solid hitting 2nd baseman… on top of the trade we already made for an all-star Center Fielder. And the Braves probably aren’t done!
Now that Anderson is back to hitting like his self, and Prado and McLouth has been added to the linuep… this is a solid hitting team. If the Braves don’t add anything further, I think this will be an above average offensive team in the second half. But if the Braves DO add a big bat, this will be one of the top 2 or 3 offenses in the NL, without a doubt.

jason,
When you stop making your opinions into actual facts, I will begin to read your posts. Because your opinion of the deal and its impact on our minor league system is merely that, an opinion. And to say the team was depleted and had no chance, they were in the hunt of the division race when they traded for Tex, and they knew they had another year after that one to try to get a championship with him. Again, prospects are just that…prospects. You never know for sure how players will pan out. With Tex, we knew what we were getting and we knew he gave us a better chance of making the playoffs and making a run at the World Series. Any GM that gives my team that chance and makes moves to better a team for the now, I’ll respect and appreciate. Not many teams can say that, but the Braves are fortunate in the past with JS and now in the present with FW.

We have JJ and Tommy Hanson (to young to push over 200 in)

so Timmy,D Lowe and Javy will be needed if we hope to be playing Meaningful games .

As I just mentioned, the guy who wrote that doesn’t know is a$$ from a hole in the wall. It’s a laughable suggestion. I think the Braves could have some interest in Guillen… but they wouldn’t be giving up Escobar to get him. Not in our lifetime.

jason
July 4th, 2009

pryguy, You nailed it right there. It is an opinion, that’s all it is. If you disagree, fine. If you want to debate, fine. There is just sense in calling someone an idiot just because you disagree with a statement. Sure, we knew what Tex was going to give us, but look at what that deal cost? What would have been to much to make that deal? JS was going to make that deal at all costs, and he did. Prospects are what you said. “Just Prospects”, but these prospects keep the farm stocked and allows for depth to the team and other deals. That’s all I am saying. Trade for Tex was great… But what was given up for Tex was bad. To much given up, when you knew that no matter if ATL won the WS or not, that TEX was going elsewhere because we could have no chance to sign him long term. I think JS thought he was back in the 90’s when he made that deal. ATL had an endless supply of money and he could be signed longterm. ATL is not run like that anymore.

Gillen was linked to steroid use in the Mitchell Report. He was suspended for the remaineder of the season in Sept. 04 for “tirades, outbursts and me first attitude”. and publicly lambasted Mike Soscia. Yeah-just the type of player the Braves will drool over.

Anyone who seriously believes the Braves are considering moving Escobar for Jose Guillen needs to be institutionalized. Frank Wren has yet to make a “bad” move.

Olney’s Latest: Atlanta’s Potential Trade Partners
By Mike Axisa [July 4 at 10:59am CST]
ESPN.com’s Buster Olney chimes in with some players and teams that could matchup in a trade with the Braves, who could dangle Javier Vazquez and/or Yunel Escobar as bait. Most of the rumors are just Olney’s own speculation, but let’s round ‘em up anyway.
The Red Sox have liked Escobar for a while, but don’t match up very well for a trade.
Jacoby Ellsbury could be a fit, but Boston would then need to find another centerfielder.
Olney speculates that the Red Sox could use their young pitching to engage a third team in a trade, mentioning that Matt LaPorta, Shin-Soo Choo and Corey Hart could be a good fit.
Boston could eat some of the money left on Julio Lugo’s deal to give Atlanta a stop-gap shortstop should they deal Escobar.
The Red Sox are not interested in Jeff Francoeur.
If Milwaukee and Atlanta discussed a Vazquez-Hart swap, the Brewers would likely have to kick in another piece.
The Twins could offer one of their many outfielders in exchange for Escobar. Delmon Young might not be enough to entice the Braves, but Michael Cuddyer or Denard Span could be.
The Dodgers would love to add Vazquez to their rotation, but Juan Pierre probably wouldn’t be enough given his lack of power.
The A’s could package Matt Holliday and Orlando Cabrera, both free agents after the season, for Escobar, who would step in as Oakland’s shortstop of the future.
None of these trill me at all

I wouldn’t trade Yunel for ANY of those guys…and the only ones who might come close to being enough for Yunel are pieces we don’t need. Lugo? Please. Hell no. And none of those outfielders either…who would be our SS? Diory Hernandez? Please.

Big mistake if they trade Escobar. H could be our SS for the next 10 years with some All Star appearances in between. To many clubs would love to have him as their SS. He is locked in with RISP. I can see the Braves packaging either Francouer, Hernandez, Blanco, Logan, Bennett, Norton, Carlyle, and possibly even Acosta to make something work.
On another note, Cox is going to wear Gonzo and Soriano out. He needs to pitch Acosta more.

FEAR,
Buster Onley is a dumb ass, like you mentioned. Those were terrible speculations. The one thing I could see the Braves doing (that he mentioned) is a 3 way trade with Boston. However, if he brought up the Dodgers (Vasquez has a no-trade clause to west coast teams), then he failed to mention Texas who needs pitching, is in a divisional race, and has a huge abundance of right-handed power hitting corner outfielders. Seriously, no wonder the Mets fired that guy.
I don’t see the Twins trading Morneau either. Mauer already said he’s staying in his hometown. I’m sure Minnesota will get a nice home team discount which will allow them to sign Morneau as well. Why sign 2 guys when they never have? Because they have so much other young talent they could trade for pieces they need. They also have a good system developing young players, and a bunch of new revenue they will get from the new ballpark. I think they resign both Mauer and Morneau.
And, I really don’t think we’re gonna trade Yunel. We’re not trading anyone if the team continues to play this way, maybe except for 1 more bullpen arm, which is why you’re seeing Conrad here and Kelly in AAA (to showcase them both for a trade – i.e. you rejuvenate Kelly, you let others see Conrads potential). Either will net a good bullpen arm, depending on who draws the most interest.

I’d rather try to deal in facts than comment on every scenario. But I can see them dealing Escobar if they can work out a deal for a shortstop in return. Jose Guillen wouldn’t do it. Also, I’m not sure the Braves are as high on Matt Holliday as some might think.
Ok, we’re off on july 4th and the weather is gorgeous, crowd is uninspiring. Folks must be over at the mall.

The Braves are just about at the half way point this season. I get a feeling they were giving Jeff a half season to turn things around, and since he hasn’t, that’s why we’re seeing more Diaz in RF. This is gonna get more common, especially if Diaz hits and GA continues to hit well when Bobby pinch hits him for Jeff.

I hate FOX. It’s garbage that we can’t watch this game on TV.
