Come on man find something better to do, also if you want to make fake trade make them realistic. I guess you just don’t know that much about the players I assume. For one Adam Dunn has no fit on the Braves and number two Medlen is going nowhere. Try something realistc next time though.

we dont have the guys that can knock one over the wall to change things.

The Braves have been conspicuously absent in the rumor mills for the last week or so. I thought that was because Wren was working on some big blockbuster under the radar, but I no longer thank that’s the case.
I think he’s in a position where he can’t take on salary, and he has few desirable prospects he’s willing to trade. Plus there just isn’t much out there. What I’m afraid is that he’ll be so desperate to make a move come Saturday that he’ll end up trading a high end prospect for a non-impact bat.

When this team gets on a roll, they really click – put enough men on that a couple of timely hits can turn games around. I still think they can get back to good baseball, but we might have seen the biggest lead this season yet. Rotation will be fine. JJ is real good and Meds can keep us in the game long enough.

I just dont understand how Berkman can help. He’s marginally better than Glaus and has much of the same problems. The only argument in getting Berkman would be that 4 bad knees are better than 2 bad ones and they rotate Glaus and Berkman – just dont see that happening or him playing in the OF.Hey at least Arkansas Transplant will be happy – he’s been saying this for months now.

DOB, guarantee the braves are not happy about how MLB has handled this venters suspension thing.
the hearing was tuesday. the suspension was supposed to come down on wednesday before the game.
he pitched tuesday. so they held off. he pitched wednesday, they held off.
pretty sure they want full effect. my guess is three games starting with this series. 4 games to 3, but my guess you will hear it before this series, venters out.

Brian, he’d be an upgrade the way Glaus is hitting now, but not the way he hit from May 1 to mid-June. Glaus is a streaky player, even more as he’s gotten older.
But as I pointed out with the money still owed Berkman, I really don’t think the Braves would pay him $7 million for the rest of this season )including his buyout for 2011) unless they dumped another salary or the ‘Stros picked up a good chunk of what he’s owed.
And I certainly don’t see the Braves giving up any big pitching prospect AND taking on a lot of payroll, not to get Berkman at this stage of his career.

Why pay for Berkman when we have Freeman in the minors who is tearing it up. If anything the Braves should get an OF and call up Freeman. We have to take some chances.
20. Freddie Freeman, 1b, Braves (Triple-A Gwinnett): The youngest player in the International League had a hot June (.923 OPS), allaying fears he couldn’t make adjustments against advanced pitching. He’s not far from being ready to join roommate Jason Heyward in the Braves’ lineup.
