This particular cut happens to be an old torch burner in the Patsy Cline vein, but The Time Jumpers can perform any genre of music; and do so every Monday night in Nashville.
For thirteen years The Station Inn was home to this aggregate of A-list musicians. Now, they’ve moved across town to a slightly larger venue to accommodate the demand for tickets, which are still priced at a 1970’s-like $10.

Starter JR GRAHAM and three reliefers keep the lid on the PELICANS’ offense and prevail 3-2.
RHSP J.R. GRAHAM [2.60 ERA] 5.0 IP, 6 H, 2 R/ER, 0 BB, 3 SO, 1 Pick Off [1B].

MEJIA’s on a pace to bat .310+, 40 2B, 30 HR, and 100+ RBI. Also, 140 SO vs. 40 BB in 550+ AB’s.
He’s played in 74 games with 276 AB, an OBP of .371, and an OPS of .922 currently.
BRAVES can’t wait too much longer with this guy. His shelf-life is short at 26. By next year this time, what you see is pretty much what you get as far as a ML’er is concerned.

Unfortunately, I don’t see MEJIA being FF’s caddy ala HINSKI. I do see ERIC gone in 2013, but I can’t say MEJIA’s his replacement. His offense and defense are just too good to waste on the pine as a bench-player. And he obviously isn’t capable of being moved to LF, or the org. surely would have done it already.

What a defense this would be with Headley at 3B, Simmons at SS, and Prado/Bourn/Heyward in the OF…
My buddy Mike knows his stuff, but I’m gonna have to go against him here.
Neither Prado nor Headley really profile as a corner bat, and while you could live with one of them being so (because of Uggla), I think having two in the lineup would really hurt your offensive lineup depth. McCann’s plus positional offense doesn’t really cover up the second corner, and you really want his offense to be the piece that pushes the team across the line from good to very good, anyway.

If Braves can’t sign anyone for LF, then I would wait on Todd Cunningham. Then I would just sign Bourn.

Can’t find it, but I did fine that because of his size, he’s limited to 1B, and is only an avg. defender there. If he’s too good to backup Freddie, I hope he gets traded somewhere he can play 1B on a regular basis.

Moyer has a minor league deal with the Jays. When will he stop?
The Cubs officially called up Anthony Rizzo, the team announced, and Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports tweets that they now view Bryan LaHair as an outfielder. The Cubs, however, would be willing to move LaHair for “the right offer,” according to Morosi (Twitter link).
Anyone want LaHair?

“I made an inexcusable mistake. Several years ago, I had surgery for a condition that was private and unrelated to baseball. Last winter, I suffered a recurrence of that condition and I was provided with a medication that resulted in my positive test. Although that medication is on the banned list, I absolutely did not use it for performance enhancement reasons. I am mortified by my carelessness and I apologize to everyone who loves this game as I do. I will serve my suspension, continue to work hard and hope that I am given an opportunity to help a Club win later this season.”

Well, I didn’t find this blog until the winter of 2007-08 and MEJIA was down in the lower minors at the time not doing a whole lot at the plate or with the glove. The guy’s not a quick study, but he’s steady. BRAVES cut him loose in the winter of 2009. He caught on with the ROYALS in 2010. He started out with the ROYALS in A+ and did well, but once promo’d to AA he fizzled [.268 BA - .978%]. ROYALS cut him loose. BRAVES resigned him and sent him to MISSISSIPPI where he blossomed both at the plate [.297 BA] and with the glove [.989%]. The BRAVES moved him up to AAA, and this season he’s exploded [currently .318 BA - .995 %]

He’s 50 November 18, 2012. I’m positive he wants to be the first ML’er to win beyond that age, then he’ll hang um up. So next year if he can find a BILL VEECK to give him the chance, he’ll be shooting for one more win.

MEJIA played 14 games in left his rookie year 2005, 4 in RF. In 2007, 1 game in CF at DANVILLE. .955% fielding in LF. With that background, the BRAVES surely would have returned him there if he could play it.

nah, ’scoots…. you’ve got sluggers at 2B and (in theory, anyway) catcher. Can get away with 2 very good hitters, if not sluggers, at 3B and LF. And away from Petco, Headley’s slugging .458 with 5 HR in 118 ABs. Not exactly a slap hitter.
Really, I see your point and you may be right. I just like it a lot better than the other approach, which seems to be to bring in an aging vet who’s a defensive liability, but who can pop a few home runs, to play LF. I’m enjoying the Braves actually being excellent on defense and would like to build on it.

You know, Gio can still walk the park on occasion, too, but the move from AL to NL seems to mitigate that a little. ‘Course, Gonzalez isn’t giving up dingers after the walks like he did in the AL, either, so that might be clouding my perception.
Just saying that Liriano’s wildness might not hurt him as much in the NL. Maybe.

Prado has turned himself into a pretty good LFer, but after seeing him at third while Chipper was DLed, he’s an excellent 3B. He needs to be the starting third baseman next year. He might not have the power one expects from that position, but his BA and OBP make up for it.

OnlyBraves – I think that if Francisco gets the opportunity to play on a regular basis, that he’ll be a productive hitter with a decent glove and good arm. Probably not for the Braves, though, unless they aren’t able to get a LFer and run Martin out there next year and leave Francisco at third, which I really don’t think will be the case.
You have to ask yourself why Wren even got him and has he done – or been allowed to even try – to fill the role from which he was acquired. Did they get him as a pinch hitter or defensive replacement? I seriously doubt it. They got him because he has power and they were afraid that Chipper might well miss much of the season and that they had no real option in left other than Martin.
But they haven’t used him like that at all except for a three week period from April 14-22 and from May 16-28. When allowed to play regularly, he went 17-54 (.308), with 5 HR and 13 RBI.
I just fail to see why people give players such crap when they haven’t even been given a chance and are noit utilized to their bext advantage.
You want to talk about how he hasn’t been a good pinch hitter? Fine. But at least call him by name and don’t use idiotic terms like Fatsucko. It not omnly demeans him, but makes you look juvenile, too.
My whole rant is that the Dude is catching lots of grief here and I get pissed about the ridiculous name calling.

Has anyone here ever seen a Prius do the speed limit? I’ve heard that a friend of a friend once saw one doing 40mph, but much like sasquatch, I will not believe it until I’ve seen it with me own eyes.
My friend has one, they’ve gotten it to 65 before….

What’s frumpy? It sounds like a mix between fat and grumpy.

Murph…
I own a gas drinking 5.3 L V8 8-12 MPG Silverado… After $500 per month on gas I would consider trading for a Prius. I could use all the extra $$$ to prove my manliness!!
I could by a boat or a motorcycle or some four wheelers… of course I’d need the truck to pull them?? oh well nevermind!!

well of course Texans hate Priuses, cain’t sell any oil/gas that way…
Given that I have no affiliation with the oil/gas industry, my hatred of Prius owners comes from a deeper, darker place than my wallet.
I’d like to see a demolition derby featuring nothing but Prius, Smart Cars, and Fiats… and open gas cans… give the audience a bunch of roman candles… and make sure the fire department is at least 10-15 miles away.

Wouldn’t surprise me at all if teams are trying to get Bethancourt from us. Not to say he’s a great prospect, but he’s still incredibly young(20 years old) and has lots of upside.

Probably not for the Braves
Indeed. His future is elsewhere. I don’t get why we traded for him if we hardly use him. Could’ve gotten him on waivers instead. He’s rotting on that bench, and his bad bat only gets worse….

nolie – We moved to St. Pete in 1985 – right before Hurrricane Elena sat off the GUlf Coast for several days, never really coming on land. It looked a lot like it does from pictures I saw yesterday from the same locations. Not good. The highest point in Pinellas County is about 32 feet above sea level.

CraZy, I feel your pain… my Challenger used to get 8mpg… premium fuel only.
I’d rather walk than drive a Prius, though.

I think that FRancisco was acquired as an insurance policy against Chipper missing much time. Unfortunately, it appears he needs regular playing time to be effective. Maybe he could be used in a trade, but not sure what his value would be with how he hasn’t been effectively used.
