Lew … I’ve read a bunch of opinions about why Marlins attendance is so poor. I suspect that there will be a short term “new stadium” boost. However, I think the Marlins will go the way of the Expos, forever doomed to low attendance, regardless of the quality of the team.

Nah, JIm’s a tad old for the BIgs these days. Always one of my favorites, though – along with the Severins and Barry Smith. Always wanted to draw comics – but still have my rejection letter from Marvel.
Fortunately, baseball art been very very, good to me.

Good morning everyone, how was everyone’s Thanksgiving? Mine went great, got to spend some quality time with my father. It was the first time I ever ate a meal in the bedroom. Since my father is bed ridden, we decided to set up a couple of tables in the bedroom that way we could all eat together as a family.

Lew … I hadn’t thought about Barry Smith in ages. I loved his Avengers 99-100. He wasn’t as prolific as others, but the work was high quality.
And who didn’t want to be a comic book artist? At least you applied for work.

abwright – I never made a fortune doing fantasy/comics/sci fi art, though I made a living for a few years, but I did get to meet a lot of the legends like Kirby, Nael Adams all of the D&D artists and most of the cover painters like Mike Whelan and Don Maitz (painted the Captain Morgan Pirate) and most of the authors like Robert Bloch and Andre Norton and correspoded with Roger Zelazy for 15 years.

George, there are plenty of SS’s out there that cant hit. the fielding might not be on par with gonzalez, but keep in mind that gonzalez had his best defensive season ever…and it could have had a little to do with freddie over at 1st base. i dont think its crazy to think that future SS for the braves will see their defense improve, because they will be willing to go after balls and make throws that they wouldnt have the confidence to make otherwise.
yes, im saying that gonzalez’s defense this past season had alot to do with freddie, and i would expect to see any SS the braves get to have improved defensive performances as long as freddie freeman is at 1st.

Gonzalez’s good defensive season could also be due to the great job the Braves grounds crew does of creating a consistent playing surface, especially compared with his previous teams (Florida, Boston, Cincinatti, and Toronto. Cincy is the only one of those that I haven’t heard bad things about the infield.)
But the new SS would get that bump as well, so for the purpose of your point it doesn’t really matter.
TnBrian

i think that matters alot as well, and i actually think it is very pertinent to my point.
my point is that gonzo had been pretty up and down defensively in his career before coming to atlanta and having a career year with the glove. maybe its not just because of him, and any SS on this team will have a career year defensively. (course “career year” varies by player, but still…)

Broxton Likely To Sign Soon
By Zach Links [November 28 at 12:13pm CST]
MONDAY, 12:13pm: A friend of Broxton tells Joel Sherman of the New York Post that all things being equal, the reliever wants to be close to his Georgia home. Sherman finds the Braves unlikely, but thinks the Marlins or Rays make sense. Abbott told Dylan Hernandez of the L.A. Times this morning that a tentative deal should be reached in the next few days, but his client won’t be returning to the Dodgers.

No one can touch the Phillies, but I think the Marlins or Nationals can leapfrog the Braves. The Nationals are getting better than better (and finished closer to the Braves than the Braves did to the Phillies) and the Marlins just might sign two big free agents.

The Nationals are getting better than better and the Marlins just might sign two big free agents.
Where, exactly, are the Nats going to increase their win total? “Better and better” how, I’m asking?
And say the Marlins sign two, heck, even three big FAs. How does that help their win total, exactly? Where are their deficiences made less deficient?
Most fans always overestimate the value of a single player (or two, or three, even) and underestimate the difficulty of gaining even five games in the win column. Let alone 10 or 15.

I’m satisfied currently because of all the “minus” moves that have taken place more than the “addition” moves that have not taken place. Lowe and noodle arm-pretty boy Nate are out and AGON appears to be on his way out also. There is some need of holiday celebration over the off-season so far.

there is a pretty big gap between the phillies and those two teams, but the gap between the nats and the braves is not that big. i dont think they will beat out the braves either, but its hardly a lock, especially since we dont even know what the teams will look like for 2012.

Also, we’re “stuck” with Bourn for a full season now. Prado and Heyward are bound to be worse, Uggla will probably be horrible for the first half…and McCann, Chipper, and the entire pitching staff will get hurt…guaranteed! Whatg will we do? (Sheesh).

In all seriousness, none of us can be certain who will win what next year.

A LOT of things can and will happen over the course of a 162 game season, so all we can do right now is say what we expect to happen based on the information presently available.

much of the reason for Gonzo’s up and down over the years have been injuries, notice his at bats. He has always been regarded in baseball as a well above average SS when healthy

eh…i dont ever want to doubt your evaluation of a player, but thats just not what im seeing. he has had healthier seasons (more games played) than last year and performed worse in the field. his up and down years dont really seem to correspond to the years where he has missed alot of time.
and even if he has been viewed as above average his entire career, he hasnt been as good as he was in 2011.
i dont want it to seem like im bashing our guy because hes gone, just saying that he had a career year with the glove (like some guys have with the bat) that he might not repeat, or that might not be all attributable to him. we may see our next SS have a career year also.

I’ll be honest about it. I’m not objective about this at all. I want Pastornicky to win the short-stop position out of spring training and have a stellar rookie season. I think his youth, speed, leadership, and dedication to the game can be huge boost to the team. Before he was injured last season, I was hoping for his promotion to Atlanta. I thought he could have added a badly needed spark.
Here’s my question. Is there any reason to hope that Brandon Hicks could be a serviceable infield utility player for our team to backup 3rd, 2nd, and ss? I just don’t see anyone out there that fits this job description, and the contracts some of these type players are getting are really high. I think it will be seen as overpaying for what a team actually gets. Is it reasonable to think that Hicks could do as well, or is this a pipe dream?

Ward, I’m not real enthused about Ethier for the same reason I don’t like a lot of the other names bandied about for our outfield — he’s a left handed bat. Our primary bats — McCann, Freeman, Heyward, and Bourne – are all left handed. That’s why I don’t favor moving Prado unless we can add a big right handed bat for our outfield. Currently, we are too vulnerable to left handed pitching.

RC, The Sushi List is not for prospects, unfortunately. Only big leaguers mentioned here in trade/FA scenarios, with a frequency all out of proportion to actual talent. It’s a short list, but you can darn near feel the grit oozing out of it.
Though that might well be fish entrails, instead. Hard to say.
RC
November 28th, 2011

Ethier is a 30-year old, left-handed hitter who is going to be a free agent after next year and who’s HR totals have declined for 3 straight years (31 in 2009, 23 in 2010, 11 in 2011). I don’t see how he’s an improvement over what we currently have at all, and he’s going to be making upwards of $9 million next year.

andre ethier can hit. hits for average, gets on base, hits for power. people worried about which side of the plate he stands on just arent thinking clearly.
its idiotic to look at a player like either and say…”ah well…he hits lefthanded…nevermind.”
he can hit.

He’ll make a fair bit more than 9 RC, he made 9.5 this year and except for homers had a pretty decent season 120 OPS+

Excellent choice! You’ve gotten the hang of this very quickly. Not sure he’s quite Sushi-List-elite yet, but he’s got a chance.

The way I see. If wren could master a trade? The Braves can always get a Right Haned Bat SS.Eithier, would be nice,but it was just mentioned,as a Braves possible need.
