Cold but very sunny day here at Dark Star by ESPN Inc. Postseason weather (or college football weather). We’re ready to watch some batting practice….
Talked to Roger McDowell about Jurrjens. They’re cautiously optimistic, but not out of the woods with him and the shoulder. He had “minimal pain” throwing from 90 feet yesterday.

I’m not quite sure why, but there are about five times as many Japanese reporters and photographers here today. Photographers especially. It looks like the postseason around the dugout now, there are so many photogs and TV crews down there waiting for the Braves to come out. Weird.
Oh, and Baseball Tonight is here today, with their crew of, oh, dozens. they’ve got a LOT of people to make that show go.

CBS Sportsline has Hinske/Diaz platoon in LF with Schafer starting in RF. Heyward and Cabrera on the bench and only Infante as the backup middle infielder. I think this is pretty interesting but, they have McLouth leading off and Schafer batting 8th.

Yeah Wayne, while it would (and does) suck to have to do baseball activities, including covering it, with temps in the 30-40 range, it was 0 degrees when I posted my response to DOB. It has now risen up to 2 degrees. LOL
So I’d take a wind-chill in the mid 30’s right now. Sad thing is, I took the garbage out after dropping kids off at school and had no coat on and thought to myself that it wasn’t that bad out. No wind today. Pretty much makes all the difference in the world around here.

The last place Heyward or Schafer will be is on any bench. If they are not starting for the Braves, they will be starting in the minor leagues.
If we assume Heyward is going to break camp with the Braves in RF, I am very curious what is going to happen in LF. I thought Diaz proved last year that he deserves a chance to play every day. This is a problem because the only player on the team out of options is Melky Cabrera.
It seems to me that the Braves would like to find at bats for Melky so, if he performs well, they can move him. Maybe a platoon in LF with Diaz hitting of LHP and Melky playing against RHP?

Just looking up some stats because Schultz is doing something on Lowe. I know it’s been mentioned, but it’s been a while: Do you all realize that the only qualifying pitcher in the majors last year with a higher opp batting average than Lowe (.301) was Livan Hernandez (.308)?
And the only NL pitcher with a higher opp OBP than Lowe (.355) was also Livan (.363).

Mock Bobby Valentine all you want (and believe me, I do too, because it’s fun and easy to do – especially with that voice). But it’s hard to deny that him putting on the glasses with the fake mustache isn’t one of the funniest moments that a manager has created in my lifetime.
Next to Lou Pinella trying to kick his hat (and missing) while Griffey Jr. and Buhner were laughing at him in the dugout, that has to be my favorite.
So he’s got that goin’ for him….. which is nice.

Could we PLEASE shut Jurrjens down until ALL of the inflamation and tendonitis is gone? It makes A LOT more sense to have him a few weeks behind other starters and be a healthy 100% thereafter. They are instead rushing him back and increasing the probability that this thing will linger and bother him until he does permanent damage to the shoulder that would end his entire 2010 season and jeopardize his career. The kid is way too good to allow that happen. Sacrifice a couple of starts and wins now. The alternative would be far worse.

YE19, tendinitis from pitching is a funny thing. More often than not, you just have to pitch through it until it goes away. Even if he shuts down completely today, the tendinitis will come back as soon as he starts throwing again regardless of how long he takes off.

DOB,
You are correct sir. An example to support your argument. I was looking at some depth charts on Yahoo baseball (which usually isn’t this bad) in preps for fantasy baseball planning.
On the Braves depth chart they currently have Jo Jo Reyes as the 5th starter and Kawakami listed in the bullpen. And, they don’t show O’Flaherty in the bullpen. They have Acosta and Dunn listed in the bullpen in one of the spots where O’Flaherty will proabably be. And last but not least, they have Prado listed as the backup 2nd baseman and Infante as the starter.
I found it all humorous.

Again, just read it and it made little sense to me, especially with Schafer batting 8th and Heyward on the bench, or Schafer even being in Atlanta on opening day. I will say that the notion of a Hinske/Diaz platoon was interesting, not every day of course, just the possibility.

dpelfrey: Regarding prospects, “can’t miss” or not. Salty was highly regarded. Francoeur was only a few notches below Marte. Todd Van Poppel was a top 7 prospect three straight years. Mix all those together and you have a nice sobering reminder that prospects aren’t all they are hyped to be.
I enjoy it when my team has a lot of hyped prospects. But I don’t buy into the hype as much as some. Even with Heyward, I’m more than willing to wait and see what he actually does. There is a lot of wind at his back and I truly hope he catches it and succeeds in the majors. I will be disappointed if he doesn’t. But Marte, even with his hype, never struck me as a Heyward type of guy.

ANDY:…here your Answer
“Dark Star” is a song released as a single by the Grateful Dead. It was written by lyricist Robert Hunter and composed by lead guitarist Jerry Garcia;[1] however, compositional credit is sometimes extended to include Phil Lesh, Bill Kreutzmann, Mickey Hart, the late Ron “Pigpen” McKernan, and Bob Weir.[2][3] “Dark Star” was an early Grateful Dead classic and became one of their most loved and anticipated numbers, often with the group using it as a vehicle for musical improvisation sessions that extended beyond the original structure of the song. The song is included in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll list.

anybody that puts Heyward on the Braves bench has fallen off their rocker and should be fired from any professional baseball reporting company. How often do top, young, prospects get called to the majors at the start of the season only to ride the bench? Any fan would know that the top young prospect such as Heyward will play everyday, in the majors or in the minors, but he will play so he can develop.

As far as prospects go, I am a bit of a hugger, not to Shanksian level….But the thing I remembermost about Marte was that a couple of times he crushed a ball and it was caught on the warning track..He just didn’t seem to have the pop that some of the other guys had…The two biggest disappointments out of that group to me were KJ, who I hoped would get past the streakiness, and Kyle Davies…Anyone remember the gem he pitched in the cold up at Fenway…
I believe the biggest difference between Heyward and just about all off our hyped prospects (going back to Tony Tarasco, Mike Kelly, Jose Oliva, Andrew, Frenchie, Betemit and others) had a trouble controlling the strike zone and that was part of the reason they didn’t pan out…Chipper, McCann, Klesko, Furcal and to an extent KJ had a working knowledge of the strike zone….I’m not necessarily a Money Ball guy and I like a Scout’s Honor, but I do believe having some ability to discern a strike from a ball is an underrated skill that the Braves have not always valued as much as I would like…That’s the skill that I believe will allow Heyward to prosper earlier than some of these other guys…I think that’s why McCann will end up going down as one of the greatest offensive catchers in history, he puts the ball in place

Anyway, the guy was mostly complimentary of Chip, and the Carey family as a whole, but he slipped up and said that Chip’s sense of humor wasn’t nearly as good as Skip’s. He said it in a kind of “it doesn’t matter, but Chip’s not quite as funny as you” way, but Skip lost it, as you might imagine. Even the infield fly rule rhubarbs don’t compare.

P’Cola, for as long as I’ve been reading the blog I’ve never seen Don post anything but that crap.

Extra Innings is pretty cool. I don’t know if it’s worth the money, but it’s a nice package.
It is definitely worth the money for us out-of-towners. Much better watching on cable/dish compared to internet. You also have wider choice of games, which sometime could mean choice of commentators. Also normally they offer a discount of about 40$ if you sign up in 1st couple of weeks of the season.

Voice of Harold,
Yes, Skip was clearly more confortable broadcasting games than answering calls from fans.

the way he speaks of it implies he knew and left Schafer in. That’s the read I got. 38 Year
it has been discussed here a number of times. The reason Bobby said it was selfish is because Schafer did not tell anybody he was hurting badly. There is no way that they would have played him if they knew he was hurt badly.

I’ve heard noting but good things about it and I usually love the Coen boys movies… SID
I thought it was one of their lesser movies. anything by them is at least decent to good, but I haven’t cared ast much for the last two since No Country which I loved.

This ones for nolie, and it is half-hearted so don’t hate me. THICK
you’re probably right Thick. Lowe would likely have less trouble there than Javi will.fly ball pitchers pitching in small parks can be an incendiary combo
