There’s a frog the size of Jose Constanza in our pool. I think I’ll call him Georgie from now on…

tomohawkin But My Big Boy Gut Tells Me that The SS Battle May Not be solved by Opening day,
you think rev and simmons might both break with the club? rev is thought of as a future utility player anyways, and with wilson hurt to start the season, we technically have room for both of them.

My plan for the starting pitchers….start JJ in Gwinett to get his stuff straightened out 1. Hanson 2. Beachy 3. Minor 4. Medlin 5. Delgado …when Huddy comes back move Medlin to the pen. When JJ gets it together he bumps Delgado down to Gwinett

Yes’Sir Buddy…I’m not a Fan of Jackie Wilson at All…He can’t hit water if he fell out of a Boat, and his defense is Overrated and we saw that late last season…Why is he so high on everyone’s list on here???
I want to just have 2 SS going north and that will be Simmie and The Rev, Wilson is Done!

i think wilson gets his job as soon as he is healthy, but having the SS competition continue into the season isnt the worst idea i have ever heard. get them both some time with the big club, in big league games, and see who plays. on the other hand, stability is a good thing when the team goes north.

A quick note before I hit the road for the day: Boy, if we think we have issues with our personnel, how would you like to be a Phillies fan? I certainly don’t wish any ill will on another person (well, not too many other persons), all those infield injuries are going to put a lot of added pressure on that incredible starting rotation.
At least in ATL, we all kinda know that the end of the cattle drive is just around the corner with Chipper. No big surprises.
Have a great day folks.
CTB, I hope your appointment turned out OK for you today.

Big start for Hanson. We will get an idea as to how he will perform this season based on todays start.
We know Jurrjens is finished. He is a worse version of Lowe of last year.
Now lets see what Hanson can give us.
We have Minor and Beachy who will pitch decent for us.
Jurrjens is patehtic
Tehehran/Delgado overated
Hanson is the key

veer, you are pathetic, or whatever “patehtic” means. Jurrjens is trying to adjust to pitching with a knee brace combined with a loose mound, kinda like peeing in the dark.

veer….. your right JJ is done, absolutly no hope that we’ll get anything out of him in 2012.
Teheran and Delgado will never be quality starters and even though you say Hanson is key I’m sure you really know Hanson is a bum. Might as well stop watching now… board up the Ted… cancel the season.

not sure about jurrjens being done, but he sure isnt ready for the season to start. does he have about 3 starts left? he just has to figure something out, to at least pitch reasonably well.

The entire season )and possibly the future of the Braves franchise) rests on Tommy Hanson’s performance TODAY.
If he struggles, he will never EVER be a decent pitcher again and the Braves will never EVER have a winning season again.
Good luck Tommy Gun!

I couldn’t agree more!! I’ve been telling people about March 21st for a few weeks now… If Tommy G doesn’t go at least 6IP 18Ks and 0BB the franchise might as well move out of ATL!! He’s got the weight of the whole franchise resting on his shoulders today. Go get em Tommy you can do it!!!

When did Bochy say that? I am disappointed in JJ’s performance so far in spring. Even though he never has great springs, just figured he’d be out to prove things to himself and everybody else. He’s not a dud IMO though. He just needs to get over thinking about that knee. Once he does then he can locate all his stuff like before. Hope so anyway.

I am negative, un-informed on baseball, pessimistic by nature, don’t keep up on Braves happenings very much, I am a drama queen, don’t understand spring training, don’t know what a managers job consists of, I have no rentention capability, and I like posting under 7 different names.
