I think what your missing is the point that he never even took a physical. That’s a pretty big deal if it is true.

Hard to tell. Losing and getting outplayed might make Wall a little uncomfortable. He’s really facing adversity for the first time. I wouldn’t read too much into it right now. Though, it is worth watching.

Without sounding redundant, any word on what Cox expects out of Lee Hyde? I was hearing that they were very hign on this prospect especially since it seems he has turned the corner.

Anders.
I am not going to say that Hampton’s acquisition was wise. But it wasnt incompetent. His injuries (which I presumed to be main point) started more than 2 years after he became a brave. Those two full seasons he 31 and 29 gmaes respectively. and then it started going downhill. How do you think they could’ve predicted his body breaking down so rapidly? Putz – a couple of months into a season. See- not the same.
Smoltz – they didnt give him the money. Putz wanted the $9.1 mil option (big surprise there isnt it) and they could’ve easily avoided it by not trading for him or voiding it on medical grounds (if they had subjected him to a medical). They didnt and wanted to save face by lying later. How can anyone say that is the same as the Smoltz thing.How?

Anders, what is with the Hampton stuff? No one ever said the Mets acquisition of Putz was bad, I believe they were criticizing the fact that he didn’t have a physical. No one here I believe ever said that given what happened to Hampton injury wise while he was here that it didn’t turn out to be a bad deal, or else you really just chose to ignore all what was said about the guy during all that injury time.
And on Smoltz, we offered the guy an incentive laden contract that would have come to the same amount that he could have earned in Boston. The reason for that was because he was coming off injuries. Smoltz was angry because he believed he was owed more guaranteed money based on his time with the organization not because he believed they mishandeled an injury situation. The way I read it with Putz is that he believes they mishandled him injury wise and that affects his money because that affects his career. Players will always want more money but not all players will accuse their former teams of mishandling them injury wise. Thats where the diffrence comes in for me.

DAP,
That seems to be the issue at hand…I thought Diaz statistically performed well in the lead-off role. However, he isn’t even guaranteed to get a majority of the playing time this year. So to answer your question, I think Nate batting lower in the lineup has greater affects than whoever you put at the leadoff position. Again, just my opinion.

I bet Wren offered Damon a G Anderson contract. It’s there unless Boras can do better, and today, right now, he can’t. If Boras does find Damon more money, I bet it’s a team he does not want to spend a season with.

TommyP,
I agree with your post on Damon. It’s definitely been strange how the market has been for him, such a proven commodity. Similar to Garret last year, Damon is looking at taking a huge pay cut this year. It’s almost comical at how often DOB has mentioned Damon and the possible effects he can have on this lineup. Seems to make so much sense for the Braves…..and I’m still not ruling it out, simply based on the words of “the man” (DOB) himself.

I wasn’t aware he was being outplayed. They jumped on Vandy pretty quickly and the guard from South Carolina was 9-29. I guess we’ll see what happens. Tough to understand why he would be mad about a loss two games ago though.

Anders – I think IF all the key Braves players stay healthy, (and I know that’s a BIG if) but I think if they stay healthy and perform like we hope they all will…then I don’t see any reason the Braves won’t compete for the East.

DOB-
Would it have been better to temper the amount of pressure being put on Heyward in the current scenario that the LF is “his to lose”? Seems like if he doesn’t make the club out of camp it could easily feel like a big disappointment to him, thus affecting his confidence.
With all of the effort by the staff to not rush him or mess up his development it seems like a better idea would be to downplay his chance of making the team out of ST and say that he is a potential option but he probably would start the season in AAA. That way if you do give him the job to start the season he feels like he came in and took the job as opposed to not losing it. Agree?

scoots’ll love that. No way can one say how meaningless Damon’s intangibles are; it’s not possible to low-ball dude’s intangibles. Can I at least overestimate his Eckstein-index?

Just enjoying you switch the conversation away from Putz not getting a physical, which was the only point folks were commenting on. ‘Tis incredible, watching you turn it into a treatise on Glavine (again), and Hampton being injured, and Smoltz treated wrongly, and, and, and…

Hudson believes he might be better than he was the last couple of years before his TJ surgery, closer to what he was in Oakland.
“Absolutely. Just because my shoulder is 100 times better than it was. I just thought I was getting older, with little aches and pains of getting older and pitching 10 years in the big leagues. But after doing my rehab for my elbow, I understand that my shoulder was in pretty bad shape, strength-wise, that it wasn’t where it needed to be.
“But that year of doing rehab for my elbow and for my shoulder, it’s better than it’s been since I was 24 or 25 years old. To just know I can go out there and pitch and know I don’t have to worry about little aches and pains with my arm and all those kinds of little things…. I’m not saying you’re going to be [perfect]. Every pitcher goes out there and pitches with some kind of little thing throughout the year. But for me it was like an every-day thing.
“I think now it’s not going to be nearly as bad.”

On my iTunes play list, I have such wonderful things as the Jim Carroll Band, the Dwight Twilley Band, the DBTs, a smattering of Nirvana, a Paul Johnson radio show or two and …
Skip’s call from Cabrera’s at bat in the ninth inning of Game 7 of the 92 NLCS and … his call of Justice’s homer in 91 at Riverfront to cap a terrific comeback against the Reds. I think the Braves were down 6-0 in the first and Justice put em up 7-6 with that shot to the second deck in right. A ting of beauty, as Mick would say to Rocky Balboa.

I talked to Freeman about this yesterday on the caravan. Said he hasn’t heard anything from the Braves. He understands that he didn’t get a lot of at-bats at Double A before hurting the wrist so he understands if he begins there. He said Triple A would be fine to.
he is a great guy. He deflected questions about himself to talk about Heyward. Said Heyward looks like a beast. 6′6 248lbs. No body fat at all.

DAP,
We are looking at the situation on different levels. You look at Nate as our best option at lead-off. I look at Nate as being a more productive piece to the lineup lower in the lineup. Not to say either of us are wrong, but I would like to get more value out of a hitter rather than less value just because he is simply our best option to hit there.
Regardless, it will all be a moot point after Damon signs:)

Gotta say you’re way off base here. They are actually viewed as one of the better groups nationally from what I understand. Darling gets playoff work and I believe might become a network guy some day so he can’t be that bad. Hernandez is not interested in that type of commitment.

I like the Mets guys. Certainly one of the best, at least in the NL, imo. Great insight from the two players; having both a pitcher, and a position-player to give you both sides really works, at least for them. The bald guy is a little to…bald, or…something. He’s definitely the weak link, though still good, and I can’t say why I think that. Don’t see ‘em enough I suppose, and the two players are so impressive.

That’s right. I’m sayin’ it! It has to be said (spoken in Chris Rock’s voice)!!
Tim Hudson top 5 in NL Cy Young voting next year. Braves will have 3 of the top 15, possibly 3 in the top 10. Yeah. I realize that unless other guys get votes, the list might not go 10 or 15 deep.
But I was buying it before he (Hudson) started selling it. Now I’m thoroughly convinced my opinion (and the ones that matter – Wren and Bobby), are the correct one.
Not only will Hudson be a better value at 9 million than Vazquez at 11.5 million. If they’re money was equal, Hudson would still have been the better value.
I’ve gone from expecting a very good year from Tim Hudson, to expecting a MONSTER season from Tim Hudson.
I also suspect with Bobby referring to him as Ace material that Hudson surely will be the opening day starter.

If forced to predict, I’d say he gets the RF job. Unless the Braves sign Johnny Damon, then I think they would be more inclined to start with Diaz/Cabrera in RF and let Heyward stay in Triple-A a couple months.

You reckon Rbo is really Rob on caffeine?

mets suck on and off the field,GM sucks,broadcast team sucks,and the new stadium sucks. they are a shadow in new york and always will be..man that sucks (Andrew in PA)
Heard you got knocked out of the spelling bee last night when asked to spell the state you hail from. Talk abut sucking. Maybe you should move to Ohio, make it easy on yourself. Just a thought.

Thanks for the quotes, DOB. I really liked the one from Hudson about outperforming his contract. I wish more players had that attitude.

You used my name (and only my name) twice in a three sentence post. That makes it all about me, IMO. That’s another thing I wanted to mention to you; I don’t like the way you don’t capitalize IMO. Fix it for me? ‘preciate it! Besides, if it’s not all about me, what value could it have? (nod, wink…is that better than the colored ones?)
Also, if I sounded the same note with every post, I’d eventually be like Gilbert Gottfried or Dice Clay; the same shtick wears thin if overused. Plus, it isn’t a shtick anyway; people occasionally change moods. And are sometimes sober as opposed to drunk. But your concern is touching.
