Can any of the JV traders propose a realistic trade that will actually be worth doing?
In a word, no. That’s Frank Wren’s job, not ours, but I’m sure someone will post one shortly. Trade ideas are a dime a dozen on the ole Man in Black blog. It’s funny most of the time when Wren pulls a trade NOBODY on here sees it coming. I’m just a fan, not a GM, but I can tell you his trade value will never be higher.
Maybe Wren doesn’t get a good enough offer, it’s very possible. Vazquez’s limited trade claus will make it a bit harder to get that deal, but it’s possible.

Supes, I would not have suggested dealing with the Phillies except for the fact that they have what we need and we have what they want.
Michael Taylor is a monster OF talent and even though Jason Donald is having a poor year, he’s still a solid SS prospect. Joe Savery is starting LHP with coming off TJ surgery but he is dominating in AA right now. They have what we need, for sure.

You’ve all heard it enough by now, but again tonight, Vazquez showed his class. His postgame quote:
“We played great defense today, that’s the first thing I want to say,” said Vazquez, citing shortstop Yunel Escobar, center fielder Nate McLouth, second baseman Brooks Conrad, and his catcher, McCann.
“I was pumped up by the defensive plays,” he said. “We played good baseball.
Yeah, led by the starting pitcher. Vazquez allowed five singles and one run with six strikeouts and no walks against a team that had hit 16 homers while going 8-1 in its previous nine home games.

Cox should care that they care, but not care what they think (ANDY A)

The Rangers may be good trade partners…they have a lot of OF talent, especially with Hamilton back. Maybe a JV trade that nets Byrd and some high-ceiling prospects? Byrd is a very-above average defender and this year is hitting .287 .329 .475 .804 with 7HR and 27 doubles. The only knock on him is his home/away splits. .310 .360 .572 .932 at home and .254 .286 .347 .633 away. I doubt they would part Cruz, whom I would rather have.

With better run support, Vazquez could easily have 10 wins and be headed to the All-Star Game with McCann.
Alas, he’s got a sub-.500 record with a sub-3.00 ERA (2.95) and 136 strikeouts, second in the NL.
“It’s incredible,” McCann said of the won-lost record and lack of run support. “He’s so deserving of an All-Star bid. “Him and [Jair] Jurrjens both. Hopefully in the second half of the year, we can hit more for him.”
McCann said the Braves were joking earlier that one run should be enough for Vazquez, the way he’s been pitching.

Playing without Chipper Jones (strained groin), the Braves gained a game on Philadelphia and New York, which both lost. (And Florida is losing 3-0 at San Fran in the eighth as I type this)
“I think it’s going to be a dogfight till the end,” McCann said of race.
The Braves need to beat the Cubs again in this afternoon’s series finale to notch their first road series win since May 11-13 at New York. They’ve lost five and split one road series since then.
“We’ve got to do it,” Vazquez said. “If we want to stay in the hunt, we’ve got to win games and win series.”

A win tomorrow not only gives the Braves a series win, but it puts them at 7-3 in the “last ten games” record. If asked before the series finale with Boston, “would you take a 7-3 record over the next 10 games?, including this one?”, I think all Braves fans would have been quite happy with those prospects. Now, they still have to go out and make that happen tomorrow. But the opportunity is there.

That is not gonna happen, so why talk so foolishly? Dunn is not the type player that Bobby or Frank are impressed by. Too low a BA and too crappy defense. They could have just signed the guy, but now they are gonna send two important pitchers for him and still pay the salary that they weren’t willing to take on in the first place? Where do y’all come up with some of these idiotic, unrealistic trades? and why bother to post such nonsense?

I hope Mark Bradley doesn’t take back his commentary he wrote after the Phillies series.
We are still in this. I don’t care about the last three games and to be honest, I don’t care about tomorrow’s game even though I’m certain we will win.
Even if we do lose the series tomorrow, the worst thing that can happen is we end up 5 back. That’s not the end of the world.
It wouldn’t hurt if we kept a little perspective here. You could argue that with our now defunct three game losing streak that we completely wasted the momentum we built up sweeping the Phils.
But what if we hadn’t swept the Phils? What if we had been swept? It would be over.
We took a big step back but we may look upon it weeks from now as the series that saved the season.
If it comes down to beating the Phils, the Braves have shown they can do it.
It’s one thing to lose faith but perspective is needed at this point. We are still in it.

Darn, some people have NO understanding of trades or contracts or a “fit” for both teams.
Adam Dunn is the perfect player for Bobby Cox. He is the wait and hit the 3-run HR type guy. It’s Bobby “ball” as people like to say here on the blog.
The Nats need SP, actually just PITCHING in general. Yeah they aren’t doing crap this year (except beating us), but next year, with the top rated pitching prospect coming on (if he signs), and lets say Javy Vazquez, plus Olson…they start to slowly build SP rotation depth. It’s how you compete over the long haul in a baseball season. SP carries you.
They have a surplus of OF-ers. They know they ONLY have Dunn for 1 more year, and after that he’ll bolt for more money and a winning team.
Javy and Adam make similar salaries, so the finances workout.
The trade fits Javy’s limited no trade clause, and it returns him to his “original franchise”, the Expos.
Once again it makes perfect sense for both teams.
Nats need SP. Braves need Offense, ANY offense out or RF as Jeff isn’t doing much of anything, and Matty Diaz is not the long term answer.
Just damn people…you wanna get something in return without giving up something equal in value.
Trading a solid work horse SP who is having a great year for a legit 40HR power hitter with an above ave. OPS is about as fair as it gets.

The Nationals are probably not going to compete next year either. That said, they probably would not make a trade for basically a 1-yr rental in Javier Vazquez. They would probably look for someone that costs less and over which they have far more long-term control.

The Braves would be better off keeping Javy for the rest of this season if they’re going to try to make a playoff push. Makes no sense to trade away your best pitcher when you’re trying to make a run. Dunn would certainly give the offense a boost, but I wouldn’t add him at the expense of Javy. Granted, that’s about the only way the Braves could fit a salary like Dunn’s into the payroll but that doesn’t make it a smart move for the Braves.
I could see trading Javy if we fall out of the race or possibly during the offseason, but I don’t see how it makes a bit of sense to move him if we’re trying to win now.
Heath (Cleveland)

I would say that a guy like Adam Dunn would be a good fit for the Braves though. Not just because the guy have un-matched natural power and because the guy is an on base machine, but because he would be under control for this and next year, but not beyond, so he would not block any of the young talent. At his price, he really is a bargain.

RF was probably not considered an issue, the Braves were probably counting on JF to perform better than he is now. I would say that how they felt about RF is quite a bit different than they feel now. So, I would not brush off Adam Dunn so easily. However, that does not mean that he is at the top of the list, especially since I think that the $20M contract for Dunn is divided up so that he makes $8M this year and $12M next year.

A team like the Brewers do fit the bill more than the Nationals as a good fit for JV, even if the Brewers GM didn’t like what Braun said. The Brewers have scored more runs than the other three NL Central contenders, but they have also given up more runs than the other three too (STL, CHC, CIN). Chicago, as poorly as they have played as a whole in the first half, really do have a good pitching staff and could very well put up some long winning streaks in the second half…if Bradley, Lee and Ramirez put up career average type of numbers in the second half and they continue to pitch like they have in the first half, the Brewers will be looking up at the Cubs. So, a Brewers/Braves trade with Javy going to the Brewers is not outrageous at all. The Braves could seriously consider irregardless of being buyers or sellers if for no other reason that because this guy’s value is at its ALL TIME highest right now.

“Concerns about the Confederate flag have led the Atlantic Coast Conference to move three future baseball tournaments out of South Carolina due to NAACP protests”
Welcome to the NAACP. We stick up for ALL colored people. Unless of course your mexican, asian, or indian!
Our policies might be stuck in the 50’s, and we dont believe “coloreds” are capable of being “racist”, but hey please give us money so our great leader Jessy Jackson can afford gas for his limo.
Oyea…. we wont be happy until MLB is AT LEAST 50% Black! Nevermind that blacks only make up 10% of the population!
Also, please support disadvantaged coloreds like Lasting Millidge when they rap about slapping hos, spreading fatherless kids, and living the tough life. Theve had it really rough staying in 1st class hotels and riding in limos. Again, we are the NAACP, and if you dont agree with us, you must be a RACIST!

My barber says they are gonna fire Wren, move Bobby back up to GM and bring in another manager. All that and a haircut too, and he comes to my house to cut it. Am I lucky, or what?

If you ask me, I’m almost 100 percent sure where Adam Dunn will be playing in 2011.
Boston.
David Ortiz’s overall numbers have been in steep decline since 2006. His and Dunn’s contract’s are up after 2010.

I wanted to drop a quick note, before I go to bed. Habe a busy day tomorrow. Watched the game toninight, and waht can you say? JV, JV, man he is the real deal. He is our ace. Great game. Yunel is NOT going ANYWHERE. Have you all noticed the defense the past couple of days. Impressive to say the least. McCann, is he heating up? Looked good tonight. I could not find one thing wrong with the game tonight, Except a lack of offense. But other than that, it was a good game and a great win.

The only real issue with a Braves/Brewers trade is do the Braves really want to replace JF with Corey Hart? Corey is young (27) and is having a bit of a down year (.256 .325 .424 .750) when compared to his career averages (.272 .322 .474 .796). I doubt that Cameron would be in the discussion since, if JF is also shipped to Milwaukee, the Brewers are left without a CFer. This, of course, also leaves out the discussion that the Brewers will include prospects that the Braves actually want. If the Braves become out-right sellers, then, maybe they make a deal like this. If they are still considering themselves buyers, Hart over JF doesn’t really warrant the move for “this year”.

Heath (Cleveland), I agree and to add… no deals regarding JV. We have to have him. We need him. He is pitching Cy Young this year. He is our best pitcher.

Braves could look to get McGehee to play 2B and try Prado out in the outfield….dude is raking in his first full year: .341 .392 .558 .950 with 6HR and 10 2B in just 48 games…Might be better than getting an OF from the Brewers.
