But are you willing to give up several top prospect for 2 years of Wright? Because chances are he’ll want more then we are willing to pay to resign…I’m thinking somewhere in the $20-$25 million area…

Murph, I left it overnight to download, it’s a big one. It’s pretty good, I’ve only gotten to play about 3 games and with the demo the game only last 4 innings unless your tied. I’m struggling with hitting. It’s not the easiest of things to do but I’ve got the pitching and fielding down pretty good though. Looking forward to the full version.

He loves Cox and thinks Cox is great for him, but in fact Cox did nothing but reenforce Frenchy’s bad habits

Wright is now a below average fielder and his power is down. No way he is worth that money. None. Plus, he’s valuable to the Mets, who are going to clean house and need Wright and Santana to provide some continuity.

DAP – I’m talking money. I’m not if favor of a fat contract for him, AND trading our prospects to the Mets (and you know that price would be high), AND facing big pay days for Heyword and our young pitchers.
I like Wright, but I’d rather sign several of our young up and coming players. I guess there is money coming off the books in the next few years, but my concern is binding ourselves where we can’t keep the talent we’ve brought up through our system. Like the Cards find themselves in.

Well, and it seems like Francoeur’s had so much success at every level that he’s had a hard time adjusting to the fact that he’s not successful at this level. Someone who has to adjust and focus on improving his game at every level naturally does that if he reaches this level. For someone who’s always had success, I could see it being a difficult adjustment.
GTAlum, I might believe that were true if he had success in the skills relating to plate discipline and command of the strikezone at any level. But he’s not been able to adjust that aspect of his game at any level and he’s not had success at any level as far as these skills go.
I don’t think him not being successful at this level that is causing him to not be successful. That makes little sense.

I know Wright will never happen but people bashing him is unbelievable. The guy had 29 HR last year, over 100 RBI’s. Hit almost .285 and had an OPS over .850 while playing 157 games. You know how many people would have killed to have that in our lineup. I hate the Mets but love David Wright. The guy plays the game the right way, unlike some of his counter parts in NY. The guy is a budding star in the NL and theres no reason to think otherwise.

Sadly, Michael Young is carrying my team…His BA after the 70 games is close to .400.
Problem is, Kinsler is hitting .236, Victorino is hitting .174 and I have since moved him to the 9 hole, and Josh Hamilton is hitting .241 w/ very little power…

Robert, here’s the problem with your argument: Bobby Cox was not Francoeur’s manager throughout the minors. He was not his manager in New York. He was not his manager in Texas. Yet, in all those places, Francoeur lacked enough skill in the area of plate discipline to be a good hitter. How do you explain that? How do you explain that he’s played under a variety of managers and coaches, even working on his own with some of the best hitting coaches and players, only to more or less have the same basically plate discipline as he’s had his entire pro career? Could it be that plate discipline is largely a skill that can’t be drastically coached up? Much like you aren’t likely to turn Mark Lemke into Ryan Howard, no matter how much you coach him up, you aren’t likely to turn Francoeur into Chipper Jones. It very likely has nothing to do with coaching or desire; it’s about skills.

Well, after playing countless amounts of games, I have come to learn that it depends what the pitch is, where your hot zones are, whether you’re righty v lefty, AND batting stance seems to factor greatly…
For example, I noticed when going from a straight up type stance to a Soriano slight crouch stance, I better launched low balls in the K-zone…

When I was talking about success at every level, I meant end results. He was hitting well enough to be a top player at other levels, so he likely never had that much pressure to improve his plate discipline. He might’ve had coaches tell him he could improve his game that way, but his ability to continue to play the game didn’t hinge on it.
And I was saying that the fact that he hasn’t really had that kind of pressure to make adjustments and develop those skills before is what’s hurting him now. Most players need to have skills in addition to tools, so they’re used to developing those skills. Sounds like Frenchy’s always gotten by on his tools, so he’s not used to building those skills.

If Francoeur had a quarter of Chipper’s plate discipline, he wouldn’t be shifting from team to team.
Truly, when Chipper retires, the Braves need to sign him to coach young hitters on their plate discipline and commanding the strike zone. There’s certainly a lot of temperament that goes into goes into plate discipline, but Chipper could be very good with some talented kids who need to control their free-swinging ways.

GT Alum and Jeff R, but I think the problem with that theory is that Francoeur has realized now for 4 or 5 years that he needs to improve is plate discipline to be a good major league hitter. He’s played under different coaches, he’s went to coaches on his own to work on this, he’s played with some pretty disciplined hitters like Chipper and it still hasn’t improved for him. His improvement now hinges on him developing this skill and he hasn’t been able to after 4 or 5 years. That’s a good indication that it’s not simply a matter of him not working and developing the skill. It seems he’s done all he can to try to develop the skill. It’s not likely a matter of needing a coach or better coaching or needing to work or try harder or needing to be more coachable. It’s more a matter of plate discipline not being something that can be coached up, to a large degree. Again, it’s like any other skill–hitting homeruns for instance. No matter how much you coach players up, they are only capable of doing what they are capable of.

Carroll or DOB,
I’ve got a beef with Fredi.
I’m not really thrilled with where Fredi is planning to hit Jason Heyward. He’s going to have a .400 OBP and that will suck to have him hitting in front of Alex Gonzalez making a ton of outs. He should be hitting at the top of the lineup where the Braves can drive him in and take advantage of his excellent and agressive baserunning ability. What’s going to happen is pitchers will see Heyward in the box and Gonzalez on deck and Heyward will barely get a sniff of a strike. He’s a patient hitter already and with pitchers working around him he’s going to have a ton of walks (and intentional walks).
Not sure if Fredi is a “veteran lover” or what, but if Bobby Cox would hit Heyward 2 or 3, don’t know why the younger, more sabermetric saavy Fredi would make this mistake, putting low OBP McLouth in a position to get so many more at bats than Heyward. Not only will pitchers take the bat out of Heyward’s hands because of the lack of protection but he’ll get fewer at bats during the season if he’s hitting sixth as opposed to second or third. Doesn’t make sense to me.
Can one of you guys ask Fredi why he would want to reduce Heyward’s opportunities to swing the bat? When healthy he is the best hitter on this team.

Not having played in a few weeks, I can’t be completely certain, but off the top of my head, you change who you control on the bases w/ the face buttons (X, O, ^, [])
What you would do if say you want the lead guy to go 1b to 3b or 2b to home but only advance the back guy 1 base is to hit the button to control the lead guy after the pitch is thrown and then use the right analog stick and move it to the right to keep him moving around 3b and then home

Lew, not too too hot, the wife will want to give it a try and if there’s to much heat it will scare her away. BBQ sauce does not last long in our house during the warm weather. I’m looking forward to cranking up the ol’ grill on a nightly basis.

chopper I’m not really thrilled with where Fredi is planning to hit Jason Heyward. He’s going to have a .400 OBP and that will suck to have him hitting in front of Alex Gonzalez making a ton of outs.
i agree with you. its hard to mess up this lineup as long as heyward is batting somewhere 2-5. and fredi has decided NOT to do that so far. im not gonna worry about it yet, because its just spring training, but seriously, man, thats stupid.

Runners on 1st and 2nd, hit a single towards the gap. Send all sends the runner from 2nd to home, but I want to hold the runner from 1st at second instead of going to 3rd because of where the ball is hit.
What I do…
as soon as i know it is a hit, I send the runner from second straight to home, and hit the o button (to select the runner at 1st and then the left arrow to make him run to 3rd)
using the D-pad is way easier to run.

Actually, Blanco would’ve been better than who we used – Jason Perry, whose 17 ABs in that period were the only ML ABs he’s gotten, and who posted a .118/.118/.235 slash in those ABs and apparently isn’t even in baseball anymore.
Sorry, Robert, but gotta go with the Bobby didn’t really have any better options crowd on this one.

Sounds exactly like my gf…
And yeah, a good BBQ sauce won’t last long around me either
