scrootsBraves LH hitters vs LHP: .251/.317/.381
You can’t get that kind of stink off without a little extra soap, LOL. So, yes, I think handedness might be a consideration for an offseason offensive acquisition.
thats only half the info there scoots. its is a FACT that the braves ended up with better stats vs. righties than lefties. why does what their left handed hitters do matter? obviously, the righties picked up the slack.
by the way, the braves also had MORE than TWICE as many ABs in 2009 against right handers. so, enough of this “the east has alot of lefties for the braves to worry about” garbage.
so, what sense does it make to get a guy because he hits lefties well when A) the braves numbers versus lefties are better and B) the braves will face a right hander MORE THAN TWICE as much as they will face a left hander?

don’t know if this has been posted already, computer was acting up. The Reds are looking to shed payroll and move Brandon Phillips, why don’t the Braves make a play on him. Could move Prado to a corner outfield position or 1st base. Would add some pop and defense

mgar–We’ve had that discussion on here before. It wasn’t pretty. We have a second baseman, why would you move Prado from a position where he would be considered above average offensively to a position where he would be below average of what you want from that position?

Bobby Cox was asked if there had been any thought to moving Chipper to first base: “There’s always talk of that. But no, we have not talked to Chipper about that at all this winter. He didn’t have his best year defensively last year. The year before, I thought he should have won the Gold Glove. He’s still a good player. His average was down a little last year; he just couldn’t get it going. But previous year he led the league in hitting. We still think he’s going to be productive.”

why does what their left handed hitters do matter?
Because your original point was that there was no reason to consider handedness in an offseason pickup, and your reason was that the Braves hit lefties better than righties. Ergo, you must mean that their lefty hitters did just fine against LHP, since (almost) anybody knows that righty hitters will hit better against LHP and contribute to the better-against-lefties stat.
Did I miss something here, or are you just being mulish? Of course the Braves need a right-handed bat, almost as badly as they need a masher of any handedness.

I’m not ready to part with Schafer. Give the kid a break, he was a rookie playing hurt. It’s hard enough being a healthy rookie. We would always regret it if we sold Jordan down the river after about 100 Major League at bats.

Cox reiterated that Heyward would get a chance to win a job in spring training, and went on and on about him being the total package and how they saw enough of him last spring and then during the season to know what he can do.
He also said that if “push came to shove,” Freeman would be a candidate for first base. But I think that’s Bobby being positive Bobby more than anything else. He noted at the same time that Freeman just turned 20 and is “very young.”
Don’t really think the Braves see Freeman as a viable candidate for 1B to start season, at all.

ncscoots: I would say that a future that includes Heyward, Schafer, and Freeman as core players increases, not lessens, the need for a big-time bat in the middle of the order. For a couple-three years, at least.
Ahhhhhh. well get ready for the lime light. We have Willingham, or Cameron, or Marlon Byrd, or maybe even Juan Pierre, on the radar to help those young kids through their struggles and carry the team on their back into the glory days of October baseball.
Honestly, there isn’t a slugger available, other than Adrian and maybe Cabrera (role model wise he’s a bit of a stretch) , that could guide and tuttle and lift and mash for the next three years.

Prado in 09: 450 ABs with 38 2Bs and 11 HRs. Hit .307/.358/.822.
Phillips 09: 584 ABs with 30 2Bs and 20 HRs. Hit .276/.329/.776.
Phillips did steal 25 bases against only one by Prado. Prado made $415,000 last year and Phillips $5.2 million. I’m sure there is at least a small bump for each this year, but don’t know how much. Prado’s numbers are very good for a second baseman and below average for a first baseman or corner outfielder (unless Garret Anderson is your corner outfielder anyway
). I say keep Prado at second and spend that $5 million or more that Phillips would cost you toward a better first baseman.

scrootsBecause your original point was that there was no reason to consider handedness in an offseason pickup,
nope, heres what i said:
“there is no reason to pursue a player based on what they do against lefties.”
this was in response that included a rejection of a player because of what he does against lefties.
your reason was that the Braves hit lefties better than righties. Ergo, you must mean that their lefty hitters did just fine against LHP, since (almost) anybody knows that righty hitters will hit better against LHP and contribute to the better-against-lefties stat.
no, scroots. ergo i meant the TEAM did better against lefties. exactly what i said. when clearly the right handers we have are doing well against lefties, and the lefties we have ARENT doing the same thing against righties (which is shown in the stats) what sense does it make to say “well, as a team we hit lefties better than righties. lets solve this by adding a righthanded bat that mashes lefties.” thats makes no sense.
if the team is looking to improve against pitchers of a certain handedness, the only logical thing is to improve against righties, since #1 they were worse against righties, and #2 we face more than twice as many righties.
im not against getting a righthander, for alot of reasons. but “so that we can hit left handers better” is a terrible and illogical reason.

Nova Scotia Steve, that’s what I was thinking when I read that about Prado. I don’t know if I’d be opposed to Prado playing 1st for a year, he looked fine over there to me when he played some this year. I know, I know, you need more production from that position than what Prado can give you, but it’d probably only be for a year.

Always a possibility, and, too bad, if so. McCann will have to grow into it, I guess. 2012 could see the look of the Braves solidify, and, from here, it looks as if it will be a talented and very young core. Gonna need some veteran offensive presence in there somewhere, and I don’t mean David Eckstine.

Brian McCann–
No…I don’t think so. I was talking about that svelte guy that catches for Braves who had trouble against lefties last year because his vision was impaired, making it harder to track a lot of pitches. Funny, he’s got the same name as you, but it doesn’t sound like you two have the same build–at least, not anymore. He was thicker in ‘08 but he still hit 23 HR and 42 doubles.

December 7th, 2009

DOB do you get a feeling the braves see two holes in the OF or just one?
Obviously with Church/Diaz there is platoon potential but with Church battling injuries and having limited effectiveness last season he is certainly a non tender candidate. Do you think the braves would get a big bat for LF or RF and then give Heyward a shot with Diaz and possibly a Anderson type veteran platoon as a backup?
Thoughts about a Lowe/LA reunion? Maybe Lowe/KJ/ Schaffer and salary relief lets say 4M(12M total) a year for Kemp? Then shift Nate to LF and let Kemp roam in CF. Talk about an athletic OF. Mclouth, Kemp and Heyward in 2010.

Why not Lowe for Riveria? The Angels needs someone to replace Lackey, and Lowe is the most comparable among those pitchers that are available. If I were the Angels I’d ask for a mid-level prospect as well, but I think the needs of each club make sense here.

If the diamondbacks are willing to take the majority of Lowe’s contract, I wouldn’t care what we get in return for him. Getting rid of that contract would be enough in my opinion. Although I’m sure getting a decent hitter in return is what Wren is looking for.

I would hope that the Braves wouldn’t trade Medlen for Willingham straight up. One is a very good young arm under team control for another 5 years….the other is a mediocre corner outfielder who has 2 more years of arbitration before becoming a free agent. I don’t see it.

Medlen is an incredibly valuable commodity. More valuable than Jurrjens for me, given his extra year of service (possibly 2 if he spends another month in the minors) and the fact that he’s always had better K and BB rates than Jurrjens. Not to take away from Jurrjens, he’s an extremely valuable commodity, too. But people often under-cut just how much talent and how good of a contract Medlen has.
