Martin Prado had a fluke season last year and will become KJ’s backup by July (Soph and RHR)
Ok, since you’re apparently having a bad day, I’ll let this one slide.

McFann, or maybe just have Heyward hit behind Mac. Maybe Chipper, but I have a feeling CJ will be in his 3 spot again. I mean, until he gets hurt and then Heyward should claim that spot.
Lord have mercy that Adrian Gonzalez stuff will dominate the rest of the offseason. Hated more, Sox or Yanks? Man, I don’t know.

Dear (insert name of 49ers Offensive Coordinator of the Week):
STOP THROWING THE BALL DEEP! IT ISN’T WORKING!

I think during 49ers games, it’s OK for you to have a beer at 11:00 am. Actually, I recommend it.
Question
December 5th, 2010
2:17 pm
The whole “getting pitched around” thing is kinda a non-argument, at least in regards to batting order. (not who is in the lineup).
Assume the Braves have 5 “feared” hitters. Chipper, Heyward, Uggla, Mac, and Prado.
And 3 “other” who are not as good/feared for whatever reason A-Gon (look for K, low avg, etc), Freeman (rookie), McClouth (slump/K etc)
The order will likely have the top 5 hitters in the first 5 spots or in the first 6 if McClouth earns a spot in the top of the order.
So whoever it is who bats either 5 or 6, that is after the other 4 of the Braves’ better hitters will get “pitched around.”
I don’t really think it matters in the long run.

Question,
Maybe it would be smarter for the Braves to bat Nate 1st, cause if he bats 8th, he will not see a strike all season and he might break the single season record for K´s.
1. Nate
2. Prado
3. Chipper
4. Uggla
5. Jason
6. Mc/Ross
7. Freddy
8. AGone
Thats deep and it would protect Nate a little bit.

Mitchie-san, yeah that is true. Right now, I am stuck at around 155 lbs and can’t gain much more. However, even if you are younger and have a good, high metabolism, you still shouldn’t eat like that because skinny folks can still get heart disease and other heart problems.

I checked the free agent market, and there is not that many ss out there for the infield. We are in trouble for a back up ss. Might have to trade for one or call one up from the minors.

Wow..
December 5th, 2010
3:26 pm
Why are people so convinced that Schafer is going to end up being a star? Because he had a good spring training? Heck, even Melky Cabrera looked like a decent ballplayer in ST.
I just don’t see it with Schafer and I honestly never did. If he doesn’t do something this year, that should be the end of him with the Braves.

DOB: Have you heard any thing on Wren looking for infield help? Like a ss for backing Gonazlez?
Trey

Mitchie-san, yeah I know I definitely eat a lot, as well. One thing I need to cut back on is my soda intake. All the acid that is in there can’t be good for the throat muscles or the esophagus.

What happens if Gonzalez gets hurt? Who plays short stop?
Trey
December 5th, 2010
3:33 pm
Wow, honestly I have not seen the hype into Schafer, but I may be wrong and I hope I am, but when I think of him I just think of someone who got hurt and will never completely come back. I have seen it in players before, and I just can’t help feeling that way about Schafer.

Hi richbrave
I added those 2 to my “richbrave folder”. If you saw my lengthy answer to your previous question (a few nights ago), you’d see where I was playing a lot more from each artist you gave me, other than just that song.
Unfortunately, time doesn’t always permit me being able to goof off and just listen to music. Damn employers!
From what I’ve listened to so far, I have “Crank it up” next to the names of Paul Hardcastle, Praful and Ryan Farish.
“Crank it up” is my highest rating. It’s like a “10″, on a scale of 1 to 10.

With Ryan Farish, “Pacific Wind”, “Night Wind”, “Imaginary”, “If Only”, “Chasing The Sun”.
I’ve expanded your list starting from the top. I did listen to the songs you included, but Praful and Hardcastle were closer to the bottom of your list and I haven’t had time to get into them yet. Hardcastle I’ve heard of and hear him, from time to time, on satellite radio.
I left off, and am still on “Praful”, when I resume.

Anybody ever seen the Lion/Otter/Beaver/Golden Retriever animal personality test? I’m very Golden Retriever (nice/sensitive) and some Otter (laid back/fun loving) too. As a side note, if you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend you check it out. It’s simple and yet it really helps you understand how/why some people think.

Sox will probably just re-sign Beltre now that teh A-Gon deal is dead. Youkilis stays at 1B. Don’t see the deal falling through as that big of a blow to Sox. Heck, they could even put Youkilis at 3B and run Big Papi out at 1B if they don’t wanna pay Beltre. They’re fine any way you look at it.

Yea. When I read that I figured they would either look to sign Beltre which would make them real suitors for Crawford or possibly even look into Prince Fielder. This could hurt A-Gon in the long run if he runs off the top tier teams. The Yanks won’t have room for him, Boston won’t if they sign Beltre and Angels have Morales. It could hurt him in the long run.
