None of us really know what the Braves are willing to offer and what they can afford to pay Damon. To say different is to only be guessing.

DAP,
This is a public forum and I can post anything I like anytime I like. If you don’t want to read what I post DONT. As far as being bossy is concerned, that sounds like the pot calling the kettle black, when you are trying to tell ME what to do.

Eric, well, honestly I haven’t watched a lot of Damon in the OF recently and you being in NY you’d have a much better idea, I assume. But, I think if they are seriously after him it’d be for his leadoff abilities and to move Nate lower. Another thing to think about is Heyward and what if he has a set back in ST or they just feel some time in AAA will do him good. They’d probably really like to have Damon then. Who knows …

Sounds to me like the Braves may have a low-ball $3-4M 1-year offer (maybe with end-of-the-week deadline) on the table with Boras trying to squeeze more out of the Tigers.

Eric-Damon’s defense couldn’t be any worse (or his arm much poorer) than what we saw from Garrett Anderson last year. He WOULD, however, give us a pretty damned potent offense and like TnBrian mentions, move Nate lower in the order (hopefully turned around to what we expected with his new contact lenses) so his power (though we didn’t see it that often last year) would do us more good offensively with (hopefully) more runners on in front of him.

Lew… You have seen garrett but you have not seen much of johnny the man throws like a girl!
no other way to put it! he throws like a GIRL… elbow first! yes a girl he swings his hips to add power to his toss and it goes nowhere… he looks like a 14 yr old soft ball playe when he throws the ball! he is much worse than garrett trust me… a single is a double… a double is a tripple and god forbid someone rounds third… mr 22 hop to 2nd is awfull you dont get how bad he is for the braves!
and the ted is a big left field he just isnt worth it and some players are just meant for the AL for this reason! you braves fans will eat him alive when he screws JJ out of a win when the ball keeps getting hit to left after the 6th!
you all have not seen him as much as i…

Chipper could do it but his arm is still strong enough to play 3B. McCann still young enough to be a top catcher. But players who lose their arms get converted to 1B a lot.

Stinger – Flim Flam Man was a good movie, and includes a great scene with Slim Pickens.
Rammer – Man Who Shot Liberty Valence was a GREAT movie. John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart and Lee Marvin – What’s not ot like – great plot with surprise ending.
For what it’s worth, I think Damon’s negatives outweigh positives, unlesss he is really cheap.

i believe the last time the braves won the NL east they used young tallent and let them play… they let them rack up #’s that covered an entire season and came out on top… the best moves by some gm’s are the moves that are not made!
you all want frank to make the damon move just to make the move… but you will all say thank god frank didnt sign him when he has a bad year for someone else… let our tallent play! id rather have hayward out there and win the spot out for spring than sign damon… im sick of those signings late in the offseason see also raul mondesi garrett anderson and this years damon! they all end the same way… 10 yrs later sitting talking with our buddies saying remember when so and so played for the braves? what a joke that was!

ABTSteve, February 3rd, 2010, 4:45 pm … “BIG agreement on Lock Stock… I liked it better overall than Snatch.”
I felt that way the first time I watched Snatch. On second watching (once I had a better sense of who was whom), I actually liked Snatch a lot better.
Vinnie Jones in Lock, Stock played kind of an anti-hero, but in Snatch was just a dreg. That confused me a little. When I watched the second time with that sense of his character, the movie flowed a lot better.
I agree on Brad Pitt. Great character.

“Damon’s defense couldn’t be any worse (or his arm much poorer) than what we saw from Garrett Anderson last year.” Lew
Yes, actually, it can. While Damon’s range and speed is better than Loaf, his arm is not. So what’s the difference?
One guy takes longer to get to the ball and throws a little better. The other guy gets to the ball quicker, but has a tough time hitting the cutoff man, much less throwing anybody out at home.
If Furcal comes with Damon as the rover (and MLB allows the Braves a 10th man in the field), then yeah. You’re right. Damon’s defense can’t possibly be a downgrade compared to Loaf.
But you are right about one thing. He’d be a nice addittion at the top of the order. But let’s not pretend that the Braves possible interest in Damon has anything to do with being an upgrade over Loaf defensively. Because to be honest with you, Diaz/Melky is an upgrade defensively over Loaf. And they’re both on the roster.
If the Braves sign Damon, it’s because in Wren’s mind what he brings to the table as a leadoff hitter will counter what his sally arm will do to the outfield defense.

There are so many new acquisitions and so many young players who are starting to get some mlb exposure. I am really looking forward to Spring Training this year.
The Young: Heyward, Schafer, Hanson, Jurrjens, Medlen
The New: Wagner, Saito, Glaus, Hinske, Cabrera, Abreu, Chavez, Dunn
The Up-and-coming: Freeman, Minor
The Long Shots: Conrad, M. Jones, Thurston
The Fan-Faves: C. Jones, McCann, Hudson
And all the others.
Maybe we’ll even get a sighting on Ryan “Spangles” von Furstenburg.

You guys talking about starting up and riding motorcycles kill me. My snow blower barely started the other day because it was so frickin’ cold, and it’s in the garage all the time.
It’s currently 17 degrees right now. Which of course feels like a heat wave, due to that being about 22 degrees warmer than it was over the weekend at this time every day. Motocycles?
I sh!t you not, when I pulled up at the bar Friday night where we played last weekend, there were about 15 snow mobiles in the parking lot. Bet that doesn’t happen too often in Atlanta, huh?

The Detroit News’ Lynn Henning wrote in his blog:
“I think if it were only an issue of a one-year contract, the Tigers and Johnny Damon by now might have a deal. But the belief, strong belief, is that agent Scott Boras wants a second year. And that’s likely a deal-breaker for the Tigers as they ponder whether to add a nice top-of-the-order bat to their undernourished lineup.”
Me talking now: I can assure you Boras does want a two-year deal for Damon. He’d like to see the Braves give him a two-year deal with a higher salary in second year if necessary, to make it work for their budget.
I don’t know if the Braves or Tigers would be willing to go a second year. If one does, that’s where he likely lands.

Oh, and with that last whether/climate update of the upper-midwest, is there any doubt in the world that the Twins and the city of Minneapolis are frickin’ idiotic for not making them put a retractable roof on that new place?
You guys think Detroit, Chicago and the north-east is cold in March and April for baseball?
I can’t wait until this region gets one of it’s late spring storms in one of the upcoming seasons, where there is about 20-40 inches of snow over 3-4 days, and then the temperature drops to about -10 degrees.
Mark it down, there is going to be a stretch at some point, where the Twins and their opponents lose about 5-10 games at the beginning of a season in the next 4-5 years.
I was still snowblowing and scraping ice last May. Like I said. Idiots. Sad day when the people of Wisconson have more of a clue when building their stadium.

Compared to last year, this seems like a walk in the park. I’ve only used it 3 or 4 times, and 2 of those were in back to back days when we got dumped on a couple of weeks ago.
Add to that, my neigbor who usually is snow bird and heads to Arizona, leaving his sidewalks and driveway for me, stayed home this winter due to his daughter in law going to Iraq and them having to watch the grand-kids.
But yeah, as my last post stated, we won’t be out of the clear until June. The only difference is when it snows in late April and May, it usually melts pretty fast. When it dumps in December or January, it’s not going anywhere anytime soon.

Nathan-You mention Furcal at cutoff, but we have Yunel, who throws as well as Fookie ever did. I see little difference defensively between Garrett and Damon, but like you said, I can see a hell of a lot of positive difference in Damon offensively. If we can get him on a good deal or with a mutual option for 2011, I say go for it. We could always trade him to the Yankees at the trade deadlne and rob another stud prospect from them.

I might get bashed for this, but I’d offer Damon that second year if that brings him in. You have Schafer and Heyward who’ll more than likely be up in 2011. You have McLouth who could be traded to free up some money. Looking at Damon(LF), Schafer(CF), Heyward(RF) ain’t bad at all.
McLouth could have a monster year where you don’t want to trade him, but I think the bargain hunting Braves would want to move his dollars and put Schafer in his place anyways after this year,imo. Only thing is that’s a lot of lefties for ‘11 if Freeman is up by then.

Driving guitar and great voice on the cynical young fella fronting the band. They’ve got a Strokes vibe, but with West Coast surf-rock influence, and that’s a good thing. Good stuff. Glad that Warren, the Decatur CD owner, gave it his thumbs-up or I might not have bought it….

nolie,
Sharkey’s Machine is way solid. Just watched it again not long ago.
And I am kicking myself for leaving out the best Burt Reynolds movie of all time. “The Longest Yard.” Filmed in southeast Georgia and they used (so the coach said) the equipment from our high school. Richard Kiel (”Jaws” in the Bond movies) married a girl from Glennville or Reidsville, I heard, whom he met down there.
Reynolds’ “The Longest Yard” >>>> Sandler’s “The Longest Yard.”
It wasn’t so much a comedy as it was a drama with comedic touches and flourishes. Reynolds was at the zenith of his broad appeal at the time. Men wanted to be him, women wanted to be with him. And the great opening scene, with Skynyrd’s “Saturday Night Special” blaring as he races through downtown Savannah … awesome.
And of the best climactic lines of all time:
“We’ve come too far together to stop now. For Granny. For Nate. For Caretaker …. Let’s do it.”

Eric: Charley’s is good, but the line is usually just ridiculous. We waited over an hour one night. Said never again.

CB, if you see me on the field or in the dugout, or if you’re near the batting cages early in the morning (lot of people line up there for autographs), just get my attention. I’ll be glad to come over to the fence or whatever and say hello.
