There are very few “cant miss” baseball prospects. I saw Griffey and Andruw both at 18. They were amazing and you could not imagine how they would not be very good major leaguers. I put Heyward in that class. You cant say he will be a star but after seeing him play it is hard for me to imagine that he will not atleast be a very solid MLB player.

Agreed on not blocking Heyward and Schafer. If they are not BOTH up and contributing at or beyond expectations by mid-season, I’ll be shocked. Especially Schafer. We must remember that Heyward only has a part of a season above AA- Schafer has MLB experience. I think unless the J-Hey Kid tears cover off the ball in Spring, then Schafer will be up quicker.

I want the Braves to steal more. We need more stolen bases. Stolen bases turn into runs. joe r
I think you need to spend some time with team’s season figures. There is not a whole lot of correlation between stolen bases and runs scored. Teams with high stolen base totals are as likely to be near the bottom as near the top of the runs scored list.

There was no way they got sent down after Francoeur had 2 1/2+ seasons of success offensively and 3+ years of ridiculously solid defense. KJ was working on his consistent success and after he finished ‘08 as strong as he did, there was no way Cox sat him down because that was KJ’s M.O. from day 1. Remember he started ‘05 like 1-31? Cox stuck with him, he broke out and did good. I guess Cox kept sticking with KJ because he saw both sides of him, hoping his bad side would subside. Didn’t happen as we know….
With Francoeur it was painful to have him as “The Natural” and then to face reality. I’m sure it was even more painful that that was Cox’s next star-child. He was in denial and had no other real great long term options. Long term meaning Francoeur was supposed to be the next Chipper. You just can’t throw that away even though eventually, they had to. But DAMN his 1rst 2 1/2 seasons were so promising! I am mad at Jeff that he couldn’t seem to get over himself and he eventually blamed Atlanta. Whatever, have funn in Flushing hitting 7 HR’s, Jeff.
Atleast we still have Norton and Bennett to massacre though. There is NO reasoning there! Norton had to lose ATLEAST 4-6 games individually before the All-Star break last year. It seemed like once a week he came up with a runner on 3rd less than 2 outs and grounded hard to first or K’d. Bennett, everything and anything Bennett related was a total joke, including him in general away from baseball. That’s how much I hate him! The worst is when he cried to try to explain breaking his hand or ya’know what’s worse? PLAYING WITH THE BROKEN HAND NOT TELLING ANYONE IMMEDIATELY! MAN I HATE HIM!!!!
Thank God Bobby has an all-around solid team with no Norton’s or Bennett’s or Blaine “Freaking” Boyer’s. He is still not forgiven from game 3 of the season. Those types of players literally takes weeks off of your life watching them “perform at high-levels”.

Well thanks to Frank Wren and his “we’re getting that big RH power bat” quotes, he has put Heyward under the pressure. They got Glaus but what if he goes down early?? It’s ALL on Heyward, literally. Hopefully Glaus will stay healthy and take some pressure off.
I think at this point anything less than 20 HR’s and a .275 avg over a full season for JH will be a dissapointment. I think they should wait to bring him up like Hanson unless LF is a complete disaster.

Chuck James was Solid until the 6th!!!………….Jeff Francoeur had already shown that he couldnt hit for power anymore. His 2009 first half with the Braves was just a continuation of his horrific 2008 season. I had seen enough by the end of May.
As far as KJ, I could see continuing to give him a chance to work out his struggles at the Major League level IF we didnt struggle to score runs (for instance, the Phillies could afford to give Jimmy Rollins a chance to work through his early struggles last year because their lineup is full of bashers). However the Braves didnt have that luxury. That is what Bobby Cox should have recognized, yet refused to because of his loyalty to his guys.

Not if your % is low. If that happens, you’re giving up runs in the long-term, despite the illusion of scoring more runs because your gross SB total is higher. I’m all for stealing more bases, but not at the cost of more outs.

Lentz, I agree that Cox probably lost us several games last year by sticking with certain players too long (don’t forget about Schafer). But Wren gave him a flawed roster. We had too many lefties, too little speed, and little power from traditionally power positions. If people stay healthy (especially Glaus), the line-up should be more balanced this season. But they still haven’t appropriately addressed the outfield power situation. The most HRs we can expect from Melky, McLouth, or Diaz is around 20. Maybe Heyward will save the day and make an immediate impact. We shall see…

Just because Wren has put the pressure on him. I mean if he came up and hit .250 with 11 HR’s and 50 RBI in 350 AB’s would you be satisfied?

You don’t think more stolen bases would have turned into more runs? joe r
not necessarily Joe. For best effect stolen bases need to be highly successful and this teams lacks the real speed overall that would maximize the production.
In a few instances it most likely would have added a run here and there, but conversely in a few instances it would likely have prevented some runs that actually were scored because the runner got thrown out stealing.
A stolen base does not guarantee that a player will score, but a thrown out stealing does guarantee that a runner will not score. That’s why it is generally agreed that a team needs to be successful at least 70-75% of the time for it to be a positive tactic over an entire season.

Fred…………..The thing that people forget is that Frank Wren couldnt rebuild the whole team after the 2008 season. He rebuilt the starting pitching first. When it became apparent that Schafer wasnt the immediate answer in center, he fleeced the Pirates in the McLouth trade.
Sure, it was a flawed roster from an offense standpoint. However Bobby could have turned to Diaz and Prado MUCH SOONER and benched Francoeur and Kelly. Also, Greg Norton, what a freaking joke. A manager’s job is to get maximum production out of his roster (which Bobby obviously didnt do last season).

Tomahawkin and Lentz, The one guy I wish we had kept on the roster last year was Blanco (as opposed to Norton). Is he a great hitter? No. But he’s a better hitter than Norton, especially considering that Blanco could get bunt base hits. Blanco also contributed as a pinch-runner and late inning defensive replacement, which was important last year given G. Anderson’s poor defensive skills. Also, PL, good point about using Prado, Diaz, etc. as in-house personnel to replace KJ and Francouer. I was in Chicago for those games and scratched my head at Francouer in RF.

The reason why Nate-Dawg’s stats were in flated was because he used to hit in the 3 hole on a garbage Pirates team…
Now that he’ s in a better lineup he is reduced to the leadoff off 6th/7th sluts, plus he will be hard pressed to steal 15 bases with Bobby’s reluctance to use the running game…
I like Prado at leadoff or #2 becuse he’s a good hitter and has a decent OBP, he does whatever it takes to win games, In other words he is a poor-mans Placido Polanco

Fred. I was sickened when Greg Norton was activated from the DL in Colorado right before the All-Star Break. I agree that Blanco would have been much more useful than freaking Norton.
Another thing that sickened me was Bobby benching Diaz despite Diaz being in a 13 for 24 stretch so his boy Francoeur could “get some at-bats”. Then in the 7th inning of the first game in Chicago, Bobby brings in Diaz to pinch bunt instead of using on of the pitchers to bunt.
Again, talk about having the “anti-Midas Touch”.

Chuck James:
Besides, I don’t think Wren mentioning his name will put any additional pressure on the young man than is already there. He’s on practically EVERY top prospect list in America. You think he’s not already aware that people are expecting great things from him?

The final is UT 76, Kansas 68 in the flukiest fluke of flukes. Have I mentioned Bruce Pearl can coach?

Steve,
It’s OK. I think it can be somewhat overvalued sometimes. Baseball is a game of risk and strategy.
