NEWCARS, If Glaus became injured and had to be put on the DL the Braves would be able to bring Freeman regardless. The rule is If an eligible player is injured and unable to play a club can call up any player in the organization regardless of their roster status as long as the replacement player plays the same position (position player for position player and pitcher for pitcher) the replacement player would have to have been in the organization as of the August 31st deadline.

NEW CARS, Freeman has to be on the 25-man roster ON August 31st to be eligible for the postseason. So they can’t just bring him up for a couple days…he has to be on the active roster on that date.
Crazytrademan, you’re right…but to further clarify, they would have to put Glaus on the 60-day DL.

Goal-setting time. The Braves have played the fewest home games in the NL, and as we all know, have the best home record. That starts to balance out tonight, as the Braves play 14 of their next 20 at Turner Field. Four against the Dodgers, 3 against Washington, 3 at Chicago, 3 in Colorado, then back home for three against Florida and 4 against New York.
Give me 13-7 over those 20 games. Some guys are going to have to start swinging the bats, but this is not a particularly difficult stretch, particularly as far as opponents’ pitching goes. The Mets are 5th in the NL in ERA, the Marlins are 7th, the Dodgers are 9th, the Rockies are 10th, the Nationals are 11th, and the Cubs are 12th.
Over the same stretch, the Phillies play the Mets on the road, the Giants, Nats, and Astros at home, then a west coast trip to San Diego, LA, and a one-game stop in Colorado. I’m counting on the Phillies losing at least four of those games out west and going 11-9 in their 20-games stretch.
So I’d like a 13-7 record over the next 20 games, and a 4-game lead at the end of games on September 2nd.

Brian from SC, Right. If He was going to miss the playoffs they would put him on the 60 day DL regardless of the injury so Freeman could play. If it was for just a 15 day DL during Sept. Freeman could come up and play for that period but, wouldn’t be eligible for the post season.

I woke up today still feeling so sad about Chipper. Now everytime I go into my son’s room I have to look at his big Chipper poster on the wall and it just brings it up again! Even if he says he’s done today, I won’t believe it because it’s still too soon. He should talk to Brian Finneran of the Falcons who’s come back from 2 torn ACL’s to the same knee. I want him back but that’s up to him, of course. Now it really is win one for the Chipper and Skipper. I think we’re fine with Martin at 3rd and Omar at short. Brooksie can back them both up. Maybe they can add more depth for the bench somehow. Someone said Craig Counsell, is he really available, he’d be great. Sounds like bad weather this weekend, hope they get the games in. Go Braves.

I don’t attend games that often so when I watched Chipper hit a home run last Friday I thought that might be the last time I see him homer live. Little did I think it would his last.
I’m wondering if Infante and Conrad platoon at third. Conrad is a better hitter from the left side of the plate.
From the Braves perspective, what do they do during the off-season if Chipper tries to re-hab? They can’t sit idle for six months during the recovery process.

Here’s an idea:
Put Chipper on the 15 day DL and have him come back and play. I ripped my ACL in half 33 years ago. I hobbled for a week or so. Then all was fine. 10 years later an orthopedic doctor told me I had no ACL in my right knee, and I could have surgery, but, “at your age (29 at the time) you don’t really need it.” I’ve dislocated it maybe 7 or 8 times over these 33 years, and each time hobbled for another week. But I’ve played basketball, soccer, touch football, golf, been biking–it’s never a problem. If Chipper was 23, and wanted to make sure he had no problems for the rest of his career, that’s one thing, but geez, he’s almost retired. Just strap it back on and play, Chip. Tell the doctors you’ll have the surgery after you retire. Then, if he led us to the World Series, that would be a story.
I hope that at least they’ve considered this idea.

Freddie Freeman is on fire.
June: .318/.411/.511/.923
July: .333/.395/.549/.944
August: .368/.419/.579/.998
For the season: .303/.366/.503/.868
He’s on a 25 HR/162G pace. And, and for those interested, he’s on a 110 RBI/162G pace.
He also appears to be potentially a high strike-out guy. He’s on pace for about 100 k’s/162G. That’s Kelsko style hitting right there. Actually, He’s got a better track record so far than Kelsko did.
From 1994 to 1999 Kelsko averaged .283/.362/.527/.889 and 23 HR a year (OPS+ of 127) in the majors. Amazing how good Kelsko looks in retro spect. I never thought too highly of the guy back when the Big three where there along with Justice, Chipper, McGriff, Belliard… you know, the big guns.

In hindsight yes, but they wanted way too much (supposedly) for Bautista…or he would’ve went somewhere, not necessarily ATL…
I still feel like A-Ram is a feasible option because we know he’d clear waivers and I still don’t fully believe he would exercise his option…
Say he does though, how bad could that really be having a guy who has hit 36, 31, 38, 26, and 27 home runs in 5 of the last 6 seasons and having 90+ RBI in 7 different seasons (100+ in 6 of those), along with an average around .300 every year since 2003 (taking out this yrs outlier).
The only real concern is his fielding…as he does cover a lot of ground but tends to airmail throws.
He is only 32 I might add, so he has quite a bit left…
So if Chipper comes off the books, and other players come off the books, then why not give him a shot, even if he exercised his option?
His career averages : .282/.341/.498/.839 36 2b 30 hr 108 rbi
The only line that stands out that is nowhere near Chippers is the .341 OBP.
Other than that, all his career numbers stand close to that of Chipper, only difference, he’s 32 and still putting up around the 30 HR when healthy.
I think it would be a really good buy low move with the Braves only having to give a couple ’specs from the lower levels.
So, once again I ask, why not?

So, once again I ask, why not?
Because the Braves don’t want to pay him over 30 million dollars over two years. Even if he returned to his normal production, which I doubt, they can’t afford that. Unless you think Liberty’s going to push the payroll up past 100 million, it ain’t gonna happen.

IF you have insurance to cover Chippers loss, or Chipper is gone, plus more money coming off the payroll, PLUS having a budget that is already far below what last years operating budget was, how is it not feasible?

BrianSC: Unless you think Liberty’s going to push the payroll up past 100 million, it ain’t gonna happen.
The Braves expanded payroll this year from $97M to $87M. So it stands to reason that they will expand payroll again next year from the current $87M to about $77M. Sure it may not look like expansion, but with the way the Braves value contracts and some other fancy accounting gimmicks they use, less is in fact actually more.

The Phils win last night was certainly a bad omen…
-In the same day Chipper goes down for the year publicly, the Phils make a 2 inning 8 run comeback to cut our lead to 2 games…
We are now searching for the answer this morning, hoping and praying that Bobby and Frank come up with something to help continue to stay in first place, but now knowing that the Dodgers are going to be p*ssed off and come into town with a chip…
Hopefully we find the right answer either today or by the end of the weekend, or it could be a LONG end to the summer for all of us.

Why not give Freeman a chance and play him even if it is just for one week – and see what happens – instead of playing Glaus on and on and on not producing. Who knows – Freeman might or might not produce – But what do the Braves have to lose by giving him a chance for a few days to see what happens.

P-Town…Aramis Ramirez will make over 30 million dollars the next two years. He is very unlikely to be even worth a third of that. Do you not understand how foolish it would be to take that sort of gamble when we have payroll limitations? Wouldn’t you rather spend 20 million dollars on a better player, which is not only possible, but probable?

Some food for thought. The Eastern division is very much attainable and the Braves can hold off the Phillies. If not, they still have a very good shot at the wild card. Probably will have to hold off the Giants and Reds. Both of these teams will play more games on the road than at home(Reds still have to go out West and the Giants still go East). All 3 teams including Braves end season with 6 home games. No shame in wild card and whatever it takes to play baseball in October. Just win baby.

The Braves already have a better internal option for the starting spot in Infante. What they’d be replacing is Infante’s backup role, so they want more of a defensive player who can play at other infield positions. Hicks is the guy.

With that performance last night, I think it shows that chip or not, the Dodgers don’t have what they need to make it. I think it’s a good Omen for the Braves. The team with the most last at-bat wins… The team coming to town is melting down in the oppositions last at bats.

For example, if they were confident that Chipper’s salary wouldn’t be on the books, they could sign Cantu to 2 years at 16-18 million or so. And every team in baseball would take that over 2 years and 30 million for Aramis Ramirez.

Brian, Timmons looks sort of like Gregor Blanco without as much speed and with less defensive value. His career minor league slugging is lower than his on-base. It’s pretty amazing that he has 1.6 walks for every strikeout. But that’s really his only skill. He can’t hit the ball with any authority and, while he’s a good basestealer, he doesn’t seem to be an amazing one. He probably is perfectly capable of being a 5th infielder, though, on a major league team.

Here’s the problem I see with Uggla. He’s kind of a rich man’s Marcus Giles. He’s slightly overrated because he’s not a great on-base guy. His only truly great skill is his power, which is fine. But his body type and skill set seem to indicate a rather sharp and quick decline; and he’ll be 31 by Opening Day next season.

Phillies’ Douche- Comparisons to the Big Red Machine are totally Ludicrous (go use a dictionary).

How many times have we been told that if you don’t win the Series you ain’;t nothing?
Even if by some wild chance out of hell, you make it as the Wild Card, you won’t advance past the first round with half a rotation and that non existent bullpen.

Phils won’t use Blanton in postseason, because they won’t make it. WC will be Giants. They will spend the offseason thinking about all those old guys they have signed to big $$$$ contracts.

ESPN has a short post up about Chipper’s career numbers. I found this quote to be particularly interesting:
“A team of nine players with career numbers of Chipper Jones would win nearly 72 percent of the time, by way of Bill James Offensive Winning Percentage metric. By comparison, a team comprised of nine Alex Rodriguez’s would win 70 percent of the time.”
Makes you appreciate exactly what we have had all these years…

Phils08…. Braves top 3 starters are just as good, if not better than yours. Plus, you have some work to do before you can worry about a playoff rotation. If your team is so good, why does Halladau have 8 losses??

if this will be a phillies site in mid sept, where will you go? based on the amount of time you spend here, i’m guessing they aren’t very accepting of closet braves fans on phillies boards.

Oswalt is good come postseason but Halladay would choke come playoff time…
Too bad you guys won’t see it this year…
Maybe you should’ve kept Cliff Lee, he’ll be pitching in the postseason…

No, correction…Wags didn’t win in Philly because they sucked…
Also, what does postseason experience have to do with it?!
Halladay doesn’t have any either…maybe you should be scared…
BTW, um we have a starting pitcher named Derek Lowe that has plenty of postseason experience, including a ring…
Being a moron is very easy isn’t it Phils?

I’m sorry but this team is not the Atlanta Braves without Chipper Jones. You can insert whoever you want and throw all the stats around you want… Especially with the way he was playing of late… This is devestating. I hope this is not the end. And I would be sick if they won the WS without him on the active roster… Don’t get me wrong I still want them to win obviously, but it would sicken me.

The Phillies franchise has been one of the worst operating franchises in baseball for most of its existence. So it’s very understandable how there fans can become so big headed after only 3 years of success. The douche juice is flowing steadily from Philly these days and the phils80-08wschamps guy is a perfect example of this.
