They just added some thump. I don’t really care what he’s done the rest of his career. He’s not a long-term solution. All I know is that in 2010 he’s been more pruductive than our SS.
I just hope the new clubhouse does not bring him to, and he does not do what he has always done best. Because what he does best, by far, is make outs.

I think Escobar’s attitude and his lack of production had both become concerns. By dumping him for Gonzalez, Wren was able to address both of these concerns. Still, Escobar has to be a secondary concern when compared to the need for an outfield bat. I really feel like the Braves are gonna need that bat if they want to get past the first round of the playoffs.
I’m puzzled as to why Wren chose to make this trade now. Isn’t it possible that Escobar could have been used in a package to acquire that bat, and that Gonzalez or another a stop-gap shortstop could have been acquired without Escobar?
I would really like to get DOB’s honest opinion on this trade. Not sure if he’ll actually give us one.
I think that the criticism of the Braves farm systems is really pretty accurate. The system is ranking highly because to the long list of talented pitching prospects, but the system is really bereft of talented position players. Past Freeman, it would be hard to find a piece that any club would be interested in acquiring right now. I think the presence of a few great prospects have obscured the fact that the position player cupboard is mostly empty.

I wouldnt mind seeing Melky go. I keep hearing people call him a good outfielder but he looks like Manny Ramirez out there to me sometimes turning the wrong way on the ball, or just getting bad jumps off the bat and I think that if McClouth can get healthy he can improve his numbers in the second half. Is the stadium out in Toronto considered a hitters park or a pitchers park?

It’s easier to put up with some of that stuff when the guy is hitting .300,” one Braves player said on Saturday afternoon, less than 24 hours after Escobar had made a lazy throw that pulled Troy Glaus off first base and in jeopardy of suffering a serious injury during the sixth inning of a 4-0 win over the Mets. -Bowman’s story
Gotta say I don’t like stuff like this. Its kind of contradictory. If you are going to keep things in house, keep them in house. Speaking on them anonymously isn’t keeping things in house, its just saving face for the people saying it. I understand fans are not privy to everything thats why I always stay on the side that no one knows whats going on in there but the guys in there. Thats why I don’t mind when they withhold information from the public for the bettermeant of the team, but how is giving information anonymously suppose to fall under that category? That seems worse for team chemistry to me than just speaking out honestly and putting a name behind it. Either way the information is getting out there.

Supes, Yunel may never get better. Does not matter. I cant get excited about a guy who strikes out 100+ times per year and walks less than Frenchy. Sorry.
I have no problem moving Yunel. I liked him, and thought that he would come around, but if they feel the need to move him, thats great. I just hate to see him get traded for a guy who is older, does not fit in with the Braves approach at the plate, and has worse career numbers.
Its clear that the Braves downgraded, otherwise there would have been no need for the Jays to throw in prospects. So, well all feel we have a WS contending team, and we downgraded our defense in the hopes that some guy having a career year might hit some home runs while he strikes out 60+ times in the next three months.

Esco was not good this year. No argument. But to sell so low because our “HOF” mgr. couldn’t deal w/ him is wrong. Esp. considering Fredi is the next mgr. This team isn’t 10 out at the break. Age (nearing prime), contract status (cheap a few more yrs), team control (3 more yrs) has to be considered for a mid market club. It wasn’t – this ones going to haunt Wren. Stop the “not an ATL type player” crap too. Womanizing drunk plays 3B and we all (me too!) love him – even when he’s been as bad as Yunel the 1st half. To clarify, I do not like this trade, but hope Alex gets thru customs whatever he was taking in TOR.

His splits are good he has hit everywhere this year on the road and at home. He has been real good with RISP. One of his biggest faults is he swings at everything he sees but maybe TP can help him with his OBP. One thing I hate to see in a non power hitter is the inability to hit the other way. He has 0 hits the other way this year. Mclouth is the same way 1 hit the other way.

This is not that bad of a trade. The Braves still get a young shortstop to count on and a good young pitcher, while ridding themselves of Jo Jo Reyes and headcase Escobar.
It is shocking the Braves were able to get anything for Reyes and it is very good to see he will not be called up ever again for the Braves.
There is nothing we can do about losing Elvis Andrus. But trading Escobar, who is having a pathetic season, was important if this team was going to win THIS YEAR. Escobar was a threat in close games and he had the worst average with runners in scoring position for the Braves. He was also becoming a concern on defense, evident with his loft throw to Glaus that almost broke his damn wrist. Glaus is far more important this year than Escobar.
As for the future, the Braves have two young SS in the minors that have potential.
Escobar’s value was an all-time low, and he was becoming too much of a play risk for the first place Braves. I really do not understand the naysayers

There are “long term” moves and “win now” moves. You can not always make only one type of moves and succeed. This is clearly a “win now” move. We can analyze career numbers and what Yunel did last year. For this year what matters most to Wren, Bobby and the team are that Yunel was producing enough and A.Gonz might. That was enough for this year and possibly the next. We are mostly bloggers and dont have the resources/info that DOB, GMs and managers have. So inspite of the fact that most dont like losing Esco or getting someone not so superstar-like, we have to admit that they know what they are doing and with some reasons. If the “win now” move works out and we get to the post-season and win it all – everything will be forgotten.SO I suggest people relax and wait to see what happens instead of downright dismissing this. The fact that enough articles/blogs/reports have been quoted and there isnt quite a good enough consensus (based on talent alone) is good enough for me to think that this has a decent chance of working out in our favor.You add to that the intangibles of experience, clubhouse chemistry and all that.. it might end up fine. A.Gonz is not going to be around long enough for us to be a Hampton like issue. He is going to be surrounded by superstars who will bear the burdens and he will add whatever little he can – hopefully more than Esco did this season.

I really hope AG has a career second half to match his first half, and we waltz into the WS on his bat. I really hope that Wren knows something we all dont, and that this is a magical trade that we will look back on like we to the McGriff or JJJ trades.
I just dont see it happening. Stats are real. Players only go so far one way or another from their career stats before you see regression or a correction. The bigger the sample size, the more accurate. AG has a huge sample size, and its not pretty.

“If they wanted him gone that bad they would have done it when his value was high this summer and they could have gotten more.”
Who would have realistically predicted he’d have been this dreadful in our first 88 games? His OPS of .611 is third lowest (!) among NL qualifiers. There are a lot of people who don’t have a true appreciation of just how much of a trainwreck he’s been at the plate…and that’s -before- we factor in his overhead.

This trade means one thing. The Braves coaches, management and many of his teamates were done dealing with Yunel being Yunel. A roll of the dice but the Braves were getting nothing from the SS position so it should help in the short term.

Jerry: for the love of all things… if Escobar’s ONLY problem were that he could not hit, he’d still be in Atlanta. Hell, we put up with Greg Norton, Garrett Anderson, JEEZ – Nate McLouth!!!
The Braves never throw the departed under the bus; that’s why they are the classy organization they are, and not the Seattle Mariners or the Cub’s Zambrano. But the worst kept secret in town was what a cancer Escobar was and what a crappy teammate he was. The guy was taken under the wing of every Hispanic in Atlanta. Hell, I thought they were going to exhume Roberto Goizueta and have him mentor Yunel.
There is only one thing to do with cancer – cut it out.

I really do think the lollipop throw to Glaus the other day was the final straw.
I have a feeling DOB will shed some light on this when he returns to the blog – might have some more liberty to explain what the team thought of Escobar and his antics.
It’s not as if they traded the guy JUST BECAUSE of his attitude. I think we all understand if he was still hitting like a major-leaguer (you know, a slg. pct above .300) and driving the ball like he did last year, he would still be in Atlanta.
But he was hitting with the power of Rafael Belliard. With a similar average. 19 RBIs at the break is ludicrous – especially considering he had FIVE in the season-opener. That’s three months with 14 RBIs from your “talented” shortstop. Ok then.

Jake,
I agree with your comments about selling higher in the offseason. I guess everybody in the organization was hoping(falsely) that he had matured this off season. Sounds like they decided to make a run this season change had to happen right now. Hindsight, would have been nice to see who they could have got last summer in return but imagine the blog reaction dealing him after a productive season. I think they showed as much patience as possible.

Chili – no argument that Yunel has disappointed, although it was awesome to watch him flash the glove around at times.
For me, and I think others, the frustration is in the return we got for him, the timing of this, and the idea that we gave up on a big time talent (again) because we could not get him to perform up to expectations.

Yunel will make a lot more in arbitration than $2.5MM. Whole system is upside down where arb-eligible playhers with lesser numbers make more than pure post-arb free agents. Go figure, but it is the truth. DOB can tell us what Yunel might project to – at least $4MM+

Alex Gonzalez – Not the long-term solution
Chipper Jones – Not the long-term solution
Matt Diaz/Eric Hinske – Not the long-term solution
Takashi Saito – Not the long-term solution
Billy Wagner – Not the long-term solution
Bobby Cox – Not the long-term solution
Folks — Wren has a team in 1st place and the Braves are seizing the moment by going for it RIGHT NOW.
If Chipper is indeed retiring that extra money freed up can go to deal for that big bat RIGHT NOW.
You can look to 2011 after the World Series. The system is looking good for that.
Today, we got rid of an out in our lineup — a rally killer who allowed opposing teams to throw nothing but breaking balls to guys like Hinske. That’s why Hinske’s K totals have been up lately.
There’s no way they’re done — best news would be if Chipper HAS told them he’s retiring so that extra money can go toward a longer term big bat outfielder.

Roy,
I hear ya. I really thought Escobar was going to be a star. I really did.
It just wasn’t working. Never in a million years did I think he would turn into an all-glove, no-hit shortstop from the 1980s. But that’s basically what he’s become.
It’s insane that he’s had 14 RBIs over the last 84 games. That’s almost impossible with how often the guys in front of him get on base. But oh well. He really was having a terrific year defensively. I’ll miss the arm. For sure.
But this move, obviously, was made for THIS year. Bobby’s LAST year. Can’t overlook that. Maybe Yunel turns into Hanley once he gets to Toronto – I guess that’s a possibility (not a very good one, mind you).
But it seems pretty obvious, for whatever reason, that it wasn’t going to happen in Atlanta.
So they cut bait. Got a live bat – that will cost LESS than Yunel would have in 2011 – and a couple of prospects. And got rid of Jo Jo in the process. Not the end of the world.

I feel like if Gonzo can play steady D and keep his head in the games and fit in and provide a clutch hit once in a while, everything will be fine. The problem I have is that historically August and Sept. are Gonzo’s worst and they are Yunel’s best. Makes you wonder if FW considered these like he did LaRoche last season or if Yunel just had to go regardless. Gonzo whiffs every 5 AB’s regardless of RHP or LHP, Yunel once every 8 times against RHP and once every 10 times against LHP. Usually hits .300 in the last 2 months. Should be interesting at least to see what happens.

…whereas I’ll remember the jaw-dropping defense he gave the team, when he was at his best.
But because he failed here (for whatever reasons there are), other folks will remember his “bottom lip” and forget all the posts they made last year, or the year before, or the year before, exalting him. “He’ll hit 20; he’ll hit .370 with RISP again; he’s the team MVP; he’s got the best glove in the league;” yada yada yada.
I do find it mildly humorous that I was the guy trying to tone down those outsized blog expectations in February, only to be called a “Yunel-lover” (called so with only slightly less animus than, say, “baby seal killer”) today.

Isn’t Gonzales going to hit in the 5-6-7 area? I saw someone having him hit at 2. Unless we get an outfield bat, I still see a lot of Hinske subbing at first and playing LF, Infante at 3B, SS, LF, and Melky with his bat getting warm, and Diaz in LF until his bat gets cold. Cox will get all of these guys playing time. I wonder if our new SS will thrive in this environment. Hope so. Looks like nothing but a big upgrade for us, mainly addition by subtraction–we get much better chemistry, focus, professionalism, all of which contributes to . . . wins. If Gonzo gets only 9 more homers and 42 more RBIs, less than he has done so far, it’s a big upgrade even on paper.

I can’t believe the number of people that have commented in Escobar’s facial expressions today.
I have a friend that tells people when he first meets them ” I’m not angry, that’s just my face”. Go figure.

I hope you drown in your tears, you traitor.

Again, I know Wren didn’t pull the trigger on the Tex trade, but he was in the office and was involved with the legwork…. what I’m saying is he was part of that experience and I think he has learned from it.

Bat – I think the worst was the guy who said that after a walkoff, Yunel was the last one out of the dugout, and he only mildly threw his hand in the air to celebrate

chilidog75: uh, yes, you can get rid of someone because his attitude sucks, along with a piss-poor BA. But the Bravos have kept piss-poor BA’s married to a great clubhouse attitude. So, yeah, it was all about the crappy attitude.
