this makes no sense since metrics show Bourn as a good defender and Jones as a poor one in CF.
Sometimes i wonder about this guy
What’s left to wonder? Bowden’s history as a GM with both Cincy and Washington should tell you just about all you need to know about his analysis. I’m actually suprised at this point when he makes a suggestion that I don’t immediately dimiss as a terrible idea.

I’m glad we didn’t get Punto. He’s basically another Rafael Belliard. Keppinger is the guy I want, though I don’t know if he’s even on the Braves’ radar screen. I would imagine he’d be a little pricier than Punto, because Keppinger more fits the profile of an everyday player.

Our #1 option to sign as SS is a guy who wasn’t good enough for the Pirates. Yeesh.
The strange part is that I don’t think there was really anything else that could have been done. With the crazy contracts that have been handed out to career backups this winter and the incredibly shallow pool of human being capable of playing SS, going with Pastornicky and hoping for the best really is our best option probably. Unless there is some way to free up some payroll for Jimmy Rollins, but we all know that’s not going to happen.

It hasn’t been as bad as many others on here would want you to believe, either…murph
not quite, but Camden is usually something of a homer park and usually the Ted isn’t. For a modern CFer he is likely one of the better hitters even with the crappy OBP. but that is more an indictment of modern CFers than a complement to him. and he needs to station himself farther back to begin with since his deep stats are so poor

RC, the only real problem I see with that, is the Jason Heyward factor. If he doesn’t bounch back, we have a third of our line-up as Hey/Past/Pitcher not to mention we don’t yet know who’s playing LF. If we bring in a guy, he’ll get the Braves jersey curse and have a rough go at it.
This is a pretty critical year if Braves management want one more post-season appearance for Chipper. If Heyward wasn’t such a question mark right now it would make the decision a lot easier to plug in as the #8 hitter.

Did Jack Wilson sign yet? I know he can’t hit his weight, but he is a good glove man, can play 3b and 2b as well as SS, and seems to be a nice enough guy. Plus, with Peter Moylan possibly gone, who on the team is ugly enough to make Eric Hinske feel attractive every now and then?

I think it’s becoming clear that since he had plenty of opportunity to sign Punto but didn’t, could have traded for Lowrie or Scutaro but didn’t, then let Conrad go… Wren has a plan for the infield. Something besides his arm is up his sleeve. Just because he has been quiet so far doesn’t mean he hasn’t laid out plans for numerous trades/signings. He’s just waiting to see if anything better comes up while he waits for answers on prior conversations.

Fols,
If Heyward doesn’t bounce back, I don’t think the Braves have enough in the tank to make a serious run at the playoffs anyway. There are certain things that the team simply has to hope for, because if they don’t happen we are in trouble anyway.

DOB: I know you probably have seen the post from Ken Rosenthal about a possible deal between the Orioles and Braves. Do you think a deal of Prado, JJ and Pastornicky for Adam Jones and JJ Hardy is a equitable swap?
I have often wondered why in so many of the proposed trades on the blog, the REAL actual lynch pin is treated like an afterthought. Pastornicky is the primary reason for the trade because Wren is not sure if he is a MLB SS or not. Get JJ Hardy in here and SS is taken care of for two years. Well, in two years JJ Hardy will be gone and the powers that be will know if Pastornicky can get more than 1 hit every 4 AB’s and catch more than 47 of 50 balls. Unfortunate since he’s in Baltimore.
So Prado is gone, JJ Hardy is gone, JJ Jurrjens is gone and Pastornicky is gone. Maybe Adam Jones will sign a long term deal and stay. We do a lot of that you know.

I don’t know why people are so worried about Pastornicky’s long-term value. It’ll likely be as either a trade piece or a backup IF once Andrelton Simmons is ready for the majors. He is Gonzo-like with his defense, and has a nearly Furcal-level arm. Bat is the only question for him, and even then it’s simply can he hit enough to not be a total embarrassment, because the defense is enough to get him on the field.

This “Chipper in the third hole by default” thinking has got to STOP. If we were fortunate enough to get Adam Jones via trade, he has to hit in the third hole; he is not the patient two-hole hitter you need to replace Prado if he were to depart via trade. If Prado were to leave, and the Braves were unable to obtain a SS that gets walks and has a decent OBP (honestly, where is that guy?), then you would have no choice but to place Chipper in the 2-spot – an undesirable option for a team that wants to get quicker and more athletic.
Losing Prado affects two fielding positions and two spots in the order. Be careful what you wish for if Chipper is forced to hit in the upper third of the order. Chipper’s body is a train wreck that cannot handle the rigors of 120 full games, let alone 140-150 games in 2012. When Chipper is out next season – and that will be often – it will always throw off Fredi’s best laid plans.
They better find someone that can play 3B as a “backup” STAT!

No worries on Punto, there are still several alternative options out there.
I cast much doubt on the rumored Jones/Hardy for Prado/JJ deal… I imagine the Orioles would want someone like Vizcaino or Hoover at minimum along with someone like Bethancourt (and they would throw in a prospect as well). I don’t really see how this matches up . Jones would be an OK CF’er in 2013 but a step down as far as total value goes due to his mediocre D. Hardy would be a great pickup at SS however….
It is all too good to be true IMO, and I don’t see a match there.

@Lew I’m gonna try to calmly explain to you my position and I hope I don’t make this too complicated for you. I’m not obsessed with payroll, I’m really not its how you spend it. D. Lowe McClouth and Kawakami were not good spendatures. But The Braves have a good team no doubt but with the collapse they had last season changes are needed. Now the change they really needed to make was to fire Gonzalaz but since he is too “Buddy Buddy” with the good ole boys here thats not gonna happen. Then where do you go, obviously you bring some new players. IMO the Free Agent market didn’t have any players I saw to go after. But we have tradable assests to go after another outfield bat or a SS in Jurrjens and Prado (although I really don’t want to trade Prado) But Jurrjens is expendable and we should have and could have made a move. Also with the way the bullpen got burned out last season we need more arms andanother closer type to take the load off of O’Ventrbrel. Because if not we will have 1 of them go down next year with Tommy John surgery. Now I’ve gone an entire post without insulting you or being angry. Now can you go an entire post without being a tool and a complete spaz, thanks and god bless.

I think a JJ, Pastornicky and Prado for Jones, Hardy and a bench player would benefit the Braves in several areas. I know Prado is a God to people and I love him too but Jones and Hardy have pop and are solid defensively. I’d like to see both of them in Braves unis.

By the way, the O’s will be more apt to trade Hardy than Jones. Jones is the known commodity with club control; Hardy is the one year wonder they’ll trade in a heartbeat for pitching. If the Braves leave this negotiation with only Hardy, they’re idiots. They want Adam Jones, and can find a veteran SS in ST to back up / split time with Pastornicky, who will not disappoint in the 8 hole while he gets his OJT / audition.

I think it’s not so much that the Braves don’t want to spend $8 million this year on Rollins, but they don’t want to commit to him for $8 million for each of the next 4 years.
That said, I do think they would be well served to go ahead and offer Rollins a 4-year, $8 million per deal. He could very easily turn that down, but if he does you are at least ensuring that the Phillies have to beat that price to acquire him next year. And if you get him, let Pastornicky be the backup SS (or season him more at AAA), and go with the outfield alignment you’ve currently got. While it’d be nice to have some power from LF, adding Rollins bat at SS makes up the difference, and you get to keep Prado and JJ.

Frankly, Gonzo’s defense will be missed next year. The Braves are not a strikeout staff; the ball goes in play quite a bit. You’d be smart next year to sacrifice stick at the SS position in exchange for someone that can get to the ball or keep it in the infield. A young, no-hit guy with plus-plus range is needed if Pastornicky is not the guy that can play “playmaker” SS. Hell, Jack Wilson will make the play 199 times out of 200 if you hit it right to him!

It appears the Braves are the only team out 30 that refuses to improve its ball club. Is Liberty Media really THAT cheap?? Is there not $1-$5M available to Wren or is his hands truly handcuffed by the worst ownership in all of the four major sports. It would seem that this team is destined to open 2012 with the almost the same exact team that embarrassed us all as Braves fans when they choked historically. This team was a power hitting LF and SS away from finishing 2nd next season (2nd!); now they are relegated to being a 4th place team, at best. In a time, when every other teams payroll is raising and passing us by, we seem to be in a holding pattern with a payroll fit for a team in the mid 90s. Oh well, there’s always 2018.

Not to get into an argument, but when Gonzo plays in 306 games and Wilson plays in only 166 over the same span – for two ball clubs – it means that two organizations did not feel that he was the AS SS he once, was by any stretch of the imagination. All things being equal, if I played once a week, I could make plays too – then spend the next six days in the tub.
Gonzo, for the past two seasons, did it almost every day, which makes him in my mind’s eye, the better SS by a country mile.

I do not disagree with Nick except that there is worse ownership in sports in our own town–The Atlanta Spirit.
The Braves cannot even afford a Nick Punto type, why not just move the Gwinnett Braves to the Ted and charge AAA prices.
Its not like we have a real MLB caliber team compared to what the rest of the division (excluding the Mets) have. Fourth place is what should be expected.
