Yeah the rivalry is not what it once was since 4 left but that’s okay because I’m a big fan of Rodgers and know he won’t be throwing costly picks when it matters the most. I’ve been hearing the Niners RT isn’t that good which could be a big problem for you guys if true with Clay “The Beast” Matthews on the other side. Should be a good game. I just hope your miracle waits until after this week. I really don’t want the Bears to win the division.

I understand giving McLouth a chance, but if he fails miserably (again), I hope that Fredi does not pull a Cox and leave him in the lineup until the middle of June while he’s batting .170. If McLouth cannot get his swing back, Matt Young seems like a good option for CF, if his AAA stats are any indication.

Just about the entire O-Line is hurt right now…their best tackle is out with a broken leg, their center has a jaw injury, they are on their back-up right tackle because their starter moved to center, and they start 2 rookies. Good times! By the way, I like Rodgers too, and of course I like my boy Clay Mathews!

I participated in a psychological study in college about video game violence. The researcher put in in a room with a computed with a cheap, simple, shoot the Nazi’s game. The more quickly you shot them the more congratulatory the game became. So naturally I shot as many as I could to get the most reward. Then afterwards they gave me a questionnaire about my feelings and whether or not i became “more violent” as the game went on. The evidence was that (a) I got better. Which should happen at any game after a few reps. and (b) that I said yes, I was trying to shoot the Nazi.
Basically my point is that these “studies” are sometimes not relating a casual connection even if it appears blatantly obvious that there is one. (Think RBI and player value)
They are just reaching the conclusions that they started with in the beginning.
In contract Harvard Medical Researchers Laurence Kutner and Cheryl Olsen started with a clean slate and reached a fundamentally different conclusion. Read their book, Grand Theft Childhood
Basically the point is not to believe what you hear on th news about video games and violence because its either 1 not supported by facts or 2 just playing on conclusions you think are already true.
Its a myth and its being debunked.

I really wish they would add the second year to the Hinske offer (and slightly discount each year since it would be a two year deal). Worst case he stinks and they write off a little over $1MM in 2012. I know they aren’t in the business of taking risks, but come on now. Odds are’s going to earn his money. I’m surprised another team hasn’t jumped in.
I really wish Diaz could stay, but even if Hinske walks, $2.5MM is too much. Especially if Hinske is going for half that.

I would give Hinske a one year contract with a vesting option if he meets certain abs or goals. That way if he fails it doesn’t go through but if he continues to produce he will have a job. Don’t know if thats an option.

If Hinske falls through I hope they pursue Xavier Nady.
On another note Bowman wrote something yesterday saying the braves will be going to winter meetings looking for a RP and a 4th OF. I thought the 4th OF was going to be filled internally? Or have we changed our mind. Maybe he wants a more productive 4th OF that can start regularly if need be?

When you have the best bench in baseball you keep it until it proves it isn’t.
Eric Hinske is ABSOLUTELY worth the 2 years. He bought it with the homer in the playoffs.
What was the sense of bringing him to Atlanta in the first place if you weren’t going to see this through? Great for the clubhouse…. great in the clutch…. a winner plain and simple.

Folks might have said the same thing about Norton after the ‘08 season. I am not sure you want to tie up a lefty pinch hitter and part-time OFer for over a year. Not the same as the Infante and Ross signings.
1 year is enough.

I dont think it is necesary to go two years for a bench player all the time. You do realize its only between us and the Brewers? If he was such a premium players how come no-one else has stepped up? Or the Brewers increased their offer yet? We will only end up bidding against ourselves. He wants to wait and see and so will we.
Also
When you have the best bench in baseball you keep it until it proves it isn’t.
A 1 yr deal gives us the chance to do this. If he sucks next year, we arent forced to hold on to him and look stupid.

Norton never gave you defense. 2008 was not a winning season. Norton did not contribute to a winning season. He put up stats with a lousy team.
Hinske put up clutch stats with a playoff team and filled in with some defense as well.
Hinske and postseason have become synonymous. Matt Stairs got $1.625 million in ‘08 and ‘09 for similar power numbers to Hinske…
You may try to replace Hinske’s numbers, but you won’t replace his intangibles.

I think it is because some folks are just prone to being negative? Doubters?
Personally, I assume that there was a reason a guy had an off year, and if that reason is no longer valid (not sure what the reason is w/ McLouth) then I fully expect him to return to his mean.
As for Chipper, he is getting older and has a knee surgery to come back from. New variables. Will he come back to his pre-2010 numbers? Probably not. Will he come back to his summer of 2010 numbers? That is the hope.

McLouth had vision issues at the end of 2009. He may have had difficulty early in 2010 because of that. Then the concussion. That would certainly account for some of his poor season.
The A Bomb
December 1st, 2010
6:55 pm
DS1… After watching Loaf Anderson, Hinske was an improvement… and he played decently at 1B as well — made a few nice picks over there.
But he’s a 10-20 homer guy off the bench and his career body of work shows he’s CONSISTENT with those numbers. Give him 2 years, he’s 35 at the end and see where it stands. But he’s shown no signs of dropping off at all. He just might not be a 300 AB guy like last year. Give him 100 or so and let him do his damage.
If he’s on the bench consistently the next 2 years where will the wear and tear come from?
If someone gets hurt would you be THAT upset if he was in the lineup? No, because he can hit the ball out of the park.
Hinske just MIGHT decide to play close to home, and if that is the case, we just lost our version of Matt Stairs — the fear guy off the bench. The guy with the intangibles.
DS1
December 1st, 2010
6:56 pm
I bet we could list a dozen guys who could fill a similar slot as Hinske for next year. Realistically, with a lefty hitting first baseman, we might actually prefer our lefty off the bench to play other positions besides first and left.
But I do like Hinske.
Gotta get back on the road…….later.

When the truth is, if the Braves acquired a solid reliever and another bench player or two tomorrow, by the weekend at least half the commenters on this blog — including many of those same people — would be saying Wren still needs this player and that one and can’t stop when he’s this close to having a championship team.

Eric –
The Rockies extended Tulo because they felt his impact on the team was worth the extension through ‘20.
The Braves must determine if they feel that Hinske’s impact on the team is worth ‘11 AND ‘12. Don’t see anything in his body of work at this point that shows dropoff. In addition, our bench last year was so above average that why would you even take a chance in breaking it up? Doesn’t make sense unless it’s all payroll limited (which again, is possible).
Unless someone comes out of nowhere (which I guess is possible) if Hinske walks the impact of the bench will be significantly lower than it was this past season. Guys like Hinske and Conrad WON GAMES for us last year.
Has anyone figured our record last season without those two coming through in the clutch? I know we’re not in the postseason for sure. Probably 81-83 wins.

Nick, this may be hard for you to believe, but most pro sports teams, including the Braves, don’t actually make money. So the only thing greater attendance means is that Liberty Media didn’t loose as much as they did last year. Now, that sometimes means an owner will increase payroll, but not always. (Not sure what you are basing the notion that payroll went down, but I never know what your thought process is, so I guess I shouldn’t be surprised)

The Braves had 2,510,119 people attend games last year. let’s say 75% of those people were adults. If every one of those adults purchased a ridiculous $7 beer, that’s $13,178,124.27 in beer sales…$13 million!

So NCAA’s saying that parents can shop their kids, long as they don’t tell ‘em? Wow. And if dad gets paid, what, just don’t tell the kid?
The Santa clause. The kids will understand the tradition, when they’re older and out of college.

I still don’t get how Cecil secretly shops Cam, picks Auburn when they pay the most, orders Cam to go to Auburn, and Cam has no idea of what’s going on, and doesn’t wonder why his dad suddenly got $180,000.

Adding a reliever and a PH is a top priority. Ross is already signed and I figure at least two other guys will come from within the org. to round out the bench. That leaves about two spots to find a PH and whatever else.

Seriously Jeff D…Admission standards at Auburn must be pretty low these days.

AND…Whoever paid Cam to go to Auburn must’ve recently made a hefty donation to the NCAA as well. One of the oddest things I’ve ever seen.
Who knows whether the Newton family actually ever received that money that Papa Newton was asking for but one things for sure, someone is making big money off that kid and its fair to say if he keeps playing the way he is, next time Papa Newton won’t have to make it discreet. The money will be there.
Well anyway, here’s to a good SEC Championship Saturday with the now eligible Cam Newton at quarterback for Auburn.

I like how so many people here suggest getting this guy and that and “calling it a day,” or signing this one and trading for that one and “let’s play ball.”
When the truth is, if the Braves acquired a solid reliever and another bench player or two tomorrow, by the weekend at least half the commenters on this blog — including many of those same people — would be saying Wren still needs this player and that one and can’t stop when he’s this close to having a championship team.
This blog is like a drug. Once hooked there’s just no going back. And it all on you DAVID for being so good, and setting the barbs into so many.
