Please and pretty please, I hope he does turn into Willie Mays Hayes this year or has a “Contract year”
The start Money Mike gets off to will determine a lot during the season…His production will be monumental as to weather we are contenders or pretenders?
The Braves can seriously ill-afford to have Money Mike enter May 1st with a .310 OBP…Especially since we have a “Cake” April Schedule

What were the number of runs scored/game for Schafer and Bourn. I think Schafer was averaging almost 1 run per game in those he started. His overall numbers were not great, but like someone posted earlier, the Braves record in those games he played was better than their overall mark.

“What happened to Schafer???”
Schafer was overhyped prior to the 2009 Season…He Homered in Philly on opening day 2009. Clowned for 2 weeks, then the league’s pitchers adjusted to him. He fell off, never made re-adjustments, was still overhyped, and then got busted for HGH/PED’s…
Started the season last year here, still overhyped,Struggled, Got traded in the Money Mike Deal, and then Got Busted for Having a Shytload of Mary-Jane in possession…
I’m glad the Schafer Hype/talk on here is Over! Mattlanta was on point in Calling him out as Overrated…
Wow That misjudge is embarassing! It has happened to everyone once in their life

Ummm, not exactly. He got suspended for PEDs in the minors before he came up. He hurt his wrist in 09, which affected his play the rest of the season…

No offense but you are seriously naive if you don’t think players don’t try enhancing drugs in the minors,That stuff is sold like candy on the Black Market (Especially in the Southern States)…Players in the minors have nothing to lose…Not to mention? Whats your excuse for him (Schafer) getting busted for Mary Jane?
No offense…

Go back and read what I wrote. There were no excuses for him- just correcting what you had said because it was inaccurate. That’s all.
