Nick, those Mets pitchers were 5-13 with a 5.38 ERA against that “anemic offense” last year, one that promises to be much improved this year.

anders If Chipper and McCann go down you can close up shop right there. At least in my humble opinion
ive though alot about this, and im not being a homer when i say i dont think its over if the braves lose chipper and mccann.

Proctor was dominant in a two-year stint as a set-up man with the Yankees. Unfortunately, they literally used him until his arm fell off. But, the good news with Tommy John is that you usually come back stronger when you are fully healthy. However, it usually takes a little over a year and a half from surgery before your full command and feel comes back.

DAP, I believe you when you say that. To be honest I hope we don’t find out. Chipper and McCann are both solid guys who I hope stay healthy.

Nova Scotia Steve

Well…I can eat my words…but i still have faith in the guy…but who wouldn’t be sitting on a fastball down the middle of the plate after walking three guys.
I coulda ripped that one into right field.

Huh. Lose a Frenchy, gain a Frenchy (RHR)
Who did Frenchy throw under the bus?

I love how the Mets announcers (K.Hernandez) say Proctor isn’t throwing hard…91-93 isn’t hard? Okay Keith….whatever man
Nick

Still 2 spots in the bullpen that noboby seems to want. I’d take Kimbrel & JoJo if I had to pick today and thats scary. Proctor, Acosta, Chavez, and Venters aren’t options IMO.

Nate was batting around .024 a few days ago. Its safe to assume he will not break camp with good overall stats. If he starts hitting again it was a successful spring for Nate.
Saff

First off Proctos is not a kid and he will be up with the Braves at some point early in the season. Nick and MFin04 try to be a little more optimistic. Proctor is way ahead of schedule he did have tommy john by the way.

Nova Scotia Steve – Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth. At least the Mets spend the money to televise the game. take the good with the bad.
Nova Scotia Steve

Remember how early Peter Moylan returned from TJ surgury…If i remember correctly these are very similar situations.
And yes Proctor will be on this team – i believe anyway
MFin04
March 23rd, 2010
4:02 pm
Thurston just made the team. Glad we cleared up the Conrad/Thurston debate. Not much to be optimistic about with Proctor. He fell apart, 3 straight walks, all over the place, and then lucky to not get taken yard with a BP fastball down the middle.
Anders
March 23rd, 2010
4:03 pm
Frenchy threw OBP under the bus and that’s a problem on here? Tough crowd.
For what it’s worth Wagner thinks WHIP is over rated. Discuss.

Some of us know baseball and some of us don’t. Heyward has not looked horrible, he’s been fine it’s just baseball. Gotta remember if a player hits .350 he still makes an out 6.5 times out of 10 AB’s. And you folks who say start him in AAA because of contracts, you’ve lost your minds. If the Bravos weren’t contenders I’d say correct, but they are so it’s win now baby you never know when the window will close.

WHIP is overrated for certain guys. For certain closers or guys like Jurrjens, lots of guys get on base but don’t score. Especially with closers, you can give up 3 walks, strikeout 3, and you are good to go.
Nova Scotia Steve
March 23rd, 2010

74-88. Tied for 4th place with the Nationals.
RHR

I’m at work so didn’t get to see the game but everything I need to know about today’s game, I learned on the MIB blog.
Yunel sucks (and has a bad attitude), David Ross sucks, Conrad or Thurston sucks (I’m not clear on which one), Chipper doesn’t suck as bad as he used to, but he still sucks a little. Glaus probably sucks, Heyward is a bust, McLouth still sucks but had a lucky day (blind squirrel, nut, etc), Proctor sucks, and Jeffy is the greatest RF’er alive and the braves are and idiot for trading him. Oh and, Joe Morgan sucks and should have been FIRED a long time ago.
‘Zat about right?

Per ESPN’s Chad Forde:
“I just had a GM in the lottery tell me they liked him more than Cole Aldrich.”
Which Kentucky big man is he referring to? Cousins? Patterson? Nope and Nope. He is talking about Kentucky’s 6th – 7th man Daniel Orton.
