great cause that McCann champions. For everyone intersted in getting involved in the fight against childhood cancer I encourage people to look up Reelin’ for Research. Last year they raised >$100,000. They hold a deep sea fishing tournament the 1st weekend of May in Morehead City

The Braves are “desperate” for an outfield bat, but Quentin may cost multiple top prospects, according to Danny Knobler of CBSSports.com.

Braves can no longer use Schafer as a chip since he is DL’d. He would be a piece that would likely be in a deal for Pence or Quentin

Well I was in the submarine force and we had something called Hate Week towards the end of a patrol. I was not a seal and have never heard of Hell week. My mistake. I don’t appreciate the juvenile name calling though.

So, once we add yet another low average, power hitter & bench Heyward…how does that solve McLouth’s inability to get on base or Gonzalez’s inability to hit air with runners in scoring position or our middle relief disaster? Let me guess, benching Heyward solves all of that.

I like Quentin simply because it will A. Force Philly to grab Pence,because they always have to outdo us. and B. Force Philly to pay waaaaay too much for Pence. I’d rather have Pence but I don’t see it happening.

This first inning shows why you need to keep the top of the order off base. otherwise those two singles would of meant trouble.

@Theo: I hear you on that, but an “overpaid” Pence trumps anything we’ve got or could get…and it likely gets the Phillies & their “overpaid” Pence to the World Series.

Pence means more to the ‘Stros than Quentin does to the Pale Hose. I’d rather give up less to get a better power bat.
Also, let’s trade Lowe during before the top of the second. His stock has never been higher.

@noleee: How about is inability to produce runs (see RBI total)? How about his pathetic batting average (see BA)? I know, that’s all “unrealistic.” Nevermind me, just whinning. McLouth is the best thing our offense has going…has been for the past season and a half. Wow.

@John’s Creek Fan
You are wrong about players on the DL not allowed to be traded…..it is just that it has to be approved by the Commissioner’s Office just like a transaction of cash over $1 million.
I looked it up and quoted it last night on Schultz’s blog….apparently it is to ensure that injured players are not traded without everyone being aware of the player’s condition. I would think that Schafer’s injury would be pretty easy for everyone to verify.
Players placed on the 15-day disabled list may be moved to the 60-day list at any time, but not vice versa. Players may be placed on either disabled list retroactively for a maximum of 10 inactive days and may remain on either list for as long as required to recover. During this 10 day period, a player status is said to be day-to-day, indicating that the team is in the process of deciding if the player must be placed on either DL or if he is healthy enough to return to active service. Injured players may not be traded without permission of the Commissioner nor may they be optioned to the minors, though they may be assigned to a minor league club for rehabilitation for a limited amount of time (30 days for pitchers, 20 for non-pitchers).

The only “problem” with getting MattyD is that he’s on a two year contract and the Pirates are contending, so they are probably not selling.
