182 would be too much IMO KL. 150ish outta be tops.

Meds threw 105 last year and 120 in ‘08. 180 is a big jump.

Is power the medicine we need, given the kind of game Bobby has been playing this year? We’re already third in runs scored in the NL this year.

120 innings is Medlens max, that was 2 years ago. Last year, majors and minors, I think it was 105. One might think his ceiling would be around 150.

They aren’t trading Escobar this season, imo. I believe that because the Braves aren’t dumb enough to take an offer that doesn’t justify what they probably believe, and will, do in the future. He’s been bad at the plate for the most part, though his defense has been really good.
Then again, some team could blow them away with an offer they can’t refuse. I do think they’d trade him if the offer was right. He looks like a downer to be around from my view.

Woody–yeah, I think we do need some more pop. We walk a lot and hit for good average, but we need that ability to put multiple runs on the board with one swing. Right now, we’re stringing hits and walks together for runs. It’s been working great, but sometimes you need that big blast, you know?

OK, so say Bobby goes with Medlin the rotation once Jurrgens gets back. What happens if he falters in late August? Can we bring back KK into the rotation then? I think the long run is a very interesting question.

Steve–
I’m playing the “waiting for Esco” game. Hopefully, he can supply the pop. Dangerous, I know, but if he heats up after the all-star break, is the power question moot?
noleeeee
June 25th, 2010
11:51 pm
my thoughts don’t have much to do with whether he falters or not. Even if he pitches great there is no way they should pitch him more that around 150 innings. Sure they could bring KK back, or if Kris continues well they could skip some starts and limit him to 6 IP or so each time. Lots of options to keep his workload within reason.
If he does falter they have KK and perhaps Minor though with his salary you would think they would give KK the first shot.
Steve from OH
June 25th, 2010
11:51 pm
Yeah, if Esco starts hitting, we’re dangerous. But still, how dangerous would we be with Esco and another power bat? I don’t think it’s imperative we get one, but it would be huge if we did. Without one, we probably don’t get to the WS, but with one we’re a threat to win it all.

Esco’s mechanics are gonna preclude a whole lot of homers from him, but he sure needs to start with the doubles again like previously.

Steve from OH

Oh, I definitely think they would, but I don’t think the Braves would be interested, and I have my reservations as well. He’s definitely the bat, but he’s not a good defensive player and our bread and butter in the long run will be pitching and defense. He doesn’t fit into that scheme at all. Plus, an OF with Melky in center and Dunn in left is gonna cost a lot of runs.
Like I said, I don’t think it’s a move we absolutely have to make, but it would be a great move to make us a really complete team. I just don’t think Dunn is the right fit.
Woodeeeeee Woodward

What about Diaz coming back? He may not have the power that we would like, but he’s a live bat. And not a liability in the field. You know, the chemistry is so good on this team right now, I would hate to mess with it. It’s a bunch of gamers. Garret Anderson, for example, was just so out of place, even though he had some timely at bats last year. He was awful in the field and a real dud in terms of energy.

Diaz will be good, I agree. I think ultimately the Braves will want Hinske to revert back to the bench, and he can do that some days if he’s platooning with Diaz. Diaz ain’t the answer, but he murders lefties, that’s for sure. Sure doesn’t hurt to have a guy like that on the team.

Diaz/Hinske could remind of the Klesko/Ice platoon that was so helpful to an earlier team. Though Williams was a better defender than Matty
Steve from OH
June 26th, 2010

Diaz/Hinske makes for a good platoon, though. Together they’re a good LF. Not much defensively, though, and with Melky in center that’s a bit shaky. Like I said, Schafer–get it together!

I would like us to stand pat until August–see what happens when everyone gets healthy. If we still need the stick, pick up a veteran who can be energized by the spirit of this team, then ride off into the sunset–next year. We’ve had those kind of pick ups in the past. Nothing like winning to revitalize a player. (I notice that the prospects of a Chipper resurgence has not been mentioned.)

We all love Hinske but the threat we bring with our tremendous bench needs to be defined for the rest of the season…
We need a guy like Matt Stairs was to the Phils and Hinske seems best suited to fill that role down the stretch. Edmonds is much more polished than Blanco and would add another vet guy.
You’re right — you never know.

Heyward must be stubborn or something. They HAVE to be telling or at least suggesting he move up a bit in the batters box. Joe Simpson said it perfectly tonight …. he’s rolling over pitches on the outer part of the plate in large part because he’s too far back in the box to begin with.

If they traded him I would guess it would be end of July at the deadline. Maybe not but the odds would be of that happening. Certain that we could afford 300some thousand which is what he would cost salary. More important is what they want. My guess is that he would not come too cheap prospect wise since there might be other teams wanting him, but he isn’t likely to bring a great prospect. Like I said though I’m not convinced he would be what this team needs and I wonder if Wren would think so? Speculation is the name of the game though

Edmonds had a 3-hit game the other night…. One of the few left-handed hitters I’ve seen who likes the high pitch…. drives the ball to left center a lot. Not a pull hitter at all. Never has been.

I can’t believe I’m saying this–maybe it’s the wine talking–but this being Bobby’s last year and all, we’ve got a special thing going on.

Everyone and They Mama on here is saying that we need more pop in the lineup…
I agree but since the steroid era is over there arent that many guys in the league who can hit 30 plus homers now w/o striking out over 150 times, not to mention who will not cost you your minor league system…
I think the braves lay low, and stick with the same offense…
With that said, we really don’t have the Power Threat that scares opposing pitchers…I guess it works both ways…
I’d rather settle in trading for someone who can steal bases in close games against a dominating pitcher (Santana, Halliday, Lee, etc…)

I think you guys are missing his point in that adding a CF would not help that much, as the top ones wont be traded by their respective teams, and anyone else doesn’t upgrade enough to waste prospects. However, take someone like an ace like Oswalt or Lee, move Medlen back to the pen (for the rest of the year), KK goes into pen when JJ comes back. That way, your staff consists of:
Oswalt/Lee
Hudson
Hanson
JJ

When Diaz comes back, that’s him, Cabrera, Hinske, Heyward and Mclouth when he returns. 5 OF’s, so one has to be traded and I’m thinking Melky is the one that goes since nobody would want Nate with his dollars and barely legal production.
If I were Wren, I’d go after a full time CF and platoon Hinske/Diaz in LF. Willingham can barely play LF, so there’s no way he’d play CF. A Hinske/Diaz platoon would put up as good, if not better numbers than a Willingham would.
The Brewers don’t look like they’ll deal Hart and DeJesus is another LH gap guy. We really need a RH slugger more than anything, imo.

Great lower level pitching no doubt, but other teams are gonna say that A level pitchers no matter their promise are not worth a star and who wants to give up a couple of them for 10 weeks rental?

Kinda like how you did with the irrelevant music video at the end of the column, but not with the two articles in prominent publications about our boys. C’mon, dude, get with the program. Otherwise, keep up the good work.

TnBrian–If now is the moment, why not just waive Nate and eat the money? I mean, if you’ve got to dump an OF, shouldn’t performance dictate who goes? It may not be in Liberty’s profile to do such a thing, but, hey, strange things happen.

we have ridden prado and gluas hard. watching three starting lefhanders in the last four games limit our offense should cause concern.
macc hit his first dinger tonight against a soutpaw and heyward has looked lost against lefty’s.
need to find another rh hitter. the elephant in the room, everyone knows it.

uga, again, what do you do with one or two of the guys if they get a guy like Willingham who is strictly a LF and not a very good one? I wouldn’t want to take any at bats away from Hinske and if Diaz comes back strong, that’s one hell of a righty/lefty platoon.
Nobody besides Melky can play CF and I don’t see Nate as anything more than a bat off the bench when he returns unless they can find a sucker to take him, which I highly doubt.

“We really need a RH slugger more than anything, imo.”
Not Happening…Especially for the fact that there are so few RH sluggers who are available on bad teams as opposed to 10 years ago, The Braves F.O. will stand Pat at the Deadline
Not to mention Most sluggers now who hit 25 homers or more, strikeout 150+times
That would be a detriment to our offense…
Like I said earlier Our only Pop in the lineup that we will get will have to come from #10 if this team is gonna go far into October or make it for that matter…

…Edmonds would be a liability at the plate…this isn’t the Edmonds from 10 years ago T’H
are you kidding? the guy is hitting 937 right now, that is better than anyone on this entire team by a fair amount. He might not keep that up of course but right now he is a bigger force than anyone we have and would cost between 300-400 thou. Like I said to begin with I’m not saying to get him but I think y’all are dissin’ him a lot.
