How much money we have coming free next year? I see anywhere from 25mil to 45 mil. I could see 12-13 mil for Bourn and another 15mil at least for Greinke (seems alot for the Braves to invest in a pitcher though)

My thoughts are that you would definitely have to overpay to retain Bourn, but that you would probably be paying Greinke about what he is worth.
I’d agree with that. and I’m not keen on loading up salary on a legs guy, at Bourn’s age. But, big picture, I like the pitching enough that I’d throw my wallet the the other direction. That doesn’t mean I don’t think another quality starter wouldn’t be useful, just that I think LF and CF in 2013 deserve more focus than a 2012 pitcher.
Hey, if we’re lucky, they do it all, LOL. No complaint from me.

Braves Lineup:
1. Michael Bourn (L) CF
2. Jason Heyward (L) RF
3. Martin Prado (R) LF
4. Brian McCann (L) C
5. Dan Uggla (R) 2B
6. Chipper Jones (S) 3B
7. Freddie Freeman (L) 1B
8. Andrelton Simmons (R) SS
9. Tommy Hanson (R) P
Hey, it worked out last night. Must suck to be Uggla when everyone else is getting 2 or 3 hits and you can’t get one. The HBP and run should make him feel a little better.

We talk about the mental side of the game, but I’m not sure we talk about it enough. That’s HUGE!!!
You’re 3-hole hitter needs the average, needs the power, needs the plate presence (as well as plate discipline), needs to be respected by umps and will get calls, needs to be able to diagnose pitchers well and report back to the dugout properly, needs to be the best at situational hitting, and needs to lead.
Who does this on out team?
No one.
Who does this best on our team?
Chipper.
He doesn’t have the power anymore and needs to be out once every 4 games, but he has really only hit in his hallowed spot in the order while coming back from injuries this season or when he had Brian right behind him (while DEEP in his own slump) with no one on base and pitchers were attacking him diligently. Chipper needs, and has earned, the right to be our leader one last season when he is healthy and has his timing correct. NOT after not seeing major league (or, heck, even live) pitching in weeks.

“Is he serious? 35 million total for both is far away from “possible”, imo. Are the Braves going to spend like drunken sailors this year?”
Id say he’s real serious. There is alot alot of money coming off the books after this year. The Braves will spend, spend, spend at the deadline and/or in the offseason. Feels nice to know we can actually make multiple moves at the deadline and offseason and not have the money constraint on us.

I’ll speak in less general terms from now on so as not to offend.
Please Murph, don’t do that. What’s the point of it all if you are going to attempt not to offend? ( :
I never saw that deal as depleting the system. Nor have I ever viewed it as one of the worst deals ever. Teixeira was incredible as a Brave. Couldn’t have asked for more from him. It’s just a shame the rest of the team stunk. And I still remember that deal like it was yesterday, which keeps fresh in my mind that Salty was the “big chip” in that deal. And I had no problems giving him up as he was blocked by McCann. So if the big chip in a Grienke deal is a player blocked by a perennial all star at his position for the next 5+ seasons, trade away, even if it is only for 2 months. I’d be happy with a World Series title.

RITZ is right on !! Here is the line-up………..McCann should just be dropped to 5 (or more at this point really). Then you can have Heyward batting 3rd and Prado back at 2 so you keep the Bourn-Prado thing going. You also avoid any Lefty, Lefty combos that way since managers seem to love avoiding those.
Bourn – L
Prado – R
Heyward – L
Uggla – R
McCann – L

Simmons – R

That and the depth chart. Traded some guys way down low in the minors who were 3 or 4 back on the depth chart. The one guy with MLB experience was blocked by McCann. I’m certain it will take some quality talent to acquire Greinke, but I doubt it would take all the young guys with MLB experience. The Brewers could ask that, but they would never get that from any team.

Let’s see… 3 of the Braves traded (Salty, Harrison, Andrus) were in the BA Top 100 for 2007. The Braves had 4 players in the top 100 that year (Brent Lillibridge being the other).
Feliz made his debut in the Top 100 in 2008.
At the time the trade was made it absolutely depleted the team of its top prospect talent. Back to my original point, should a trade for 2 months of Greinke do the same, I will not be happy.
Getting Greinke doesn’t guarantee a WS title in 2012. It maybe ups the odds, but it’s not a guarantee. Losing a handful of top prospects also doesn’t guarantee that the system will be hurting for years to come, but it ups the odds.

Braves don’t have a #3 or #4 hitter now. McCant and Uggla leave too many R.I.S.P., and for 2 totally different reasons. McCant has never learned how to hit the ball up the middle or to the opposite field. It’s a shame the braves don’t have a legit hitting coach that could have taught McCant how to hit the ball to all fields. This guy continues to pull everything even when teams have a shift against him. Some players just never learn, and unfortunately he is one of them, and because of this lack of adjusting, his average continues to drop. As for Ugly, this guy is the true definition of insanity. Which is to continue to do the same thing over and over again and expect different results=INSANE. This guy swigs for the fences on every swing, and with his ridiculous upper cut swing, there is a reason he either hits a home run or pops up everytime he hits the ball. That is whenever he hits the ball. If this guy had a clue on how to shorten his stoke and trying to just get good contact on the ball, he would be amazed at the results.Yet again, no hitting coach with any intelligence helping this lost free swinger. There is a reason this guy goes into his half the season slumps, it’s called never adjusting to pitchers and always swinging for the home run. Like Mccant, this guy hasn’t hit a ball to right field in along time, if he would shorten his swing and just hit the ball where it is pitched, he would become a bigtime major league hitter. So if the braves think they will make the playoffs with so many question marks, and especially with no legit #3 or #4 hitter in lineup, then God help them. It ain’t gonna happen.

I think Freeman if he is healthy should be the #3 hitter, as the article said the #3 hitter has a mental side to it besides the hitting and I think Freeman is our best choice in that regard. As for another starting pitcher, I think the Braves should go after any pitcher that helps the rotation and does not kill the minors as that Texeria deal did. For any SP worth anything you are gonna have to pay the market price.

Here were their Top prospects written by Baseball America on November 5th, 2007 – a few months after the Teixeira trade:
1. Jordan Schafer, of
2. Jason Heyward, of
3. Jair Jurrjens, rhp
4. Brandon Jones, of
5. Gorkys Hernandez, of
6. Brent Lillibridge, ss
7. Cole Rohrbough, lhp
8. Jeff Locke, lhp
9. Tommy Hanson, rhp
10. Julio Teheran, rhp
Heyward and Teheran had barely played a lick of professional ball and they were in the Top 10. Obviously the Hernandez/Jurrjens trade made the system better. But there were a lot of guys in the low minors that the Braves loved, therefore they felt like they could trade Salty, Andrus and Harrison.

By the way guys, we are officially in the future. On October 26th, 1985 Marty McFly jumped in the Delorian and took off to see the events of June 27th, 2012.
So, welcome, friends, to the future.

I said it in February and I’ll say it again…. Put Heyward in the 3 hole and leave him there. It puts power in that slot, while bunching what speed the Braves possess at the top. Don’t tell me the kid has a psychological problem with hitting 3rd- he’s been a star player at every level. He’s probably hit either 3rd or 4th all his life. And if Heyward doesn’t hit well enough to be 3rd, then it doesn’t matter much what the order is, the Braves won’t make the playoffs.
1. Bourn
2. Prado
3. Heyward
4. Uggla
5. Freeman
6. Jones
7. McCann
8. Simmons
This is a dangerous lineup. Fredi, quit mucking around with it. Your tinkering is only messing with your player’s heads.

Fredi is being too clever by half with the batting order. Ritz and a couple of others it right.
I would hate to make a trade before Medlen gets a real shot. Sit Minor, Fredi/Frank.

I think it’d cost Mike Minor and 2 more prospects for Greinke…
Thinking the same thing too. Though the 2 “prospects” would be more along the lines of the position players the team has, which is to say, guys this team isn’t going to necessarily miss in the long run.

What’s wrong with asking a player his opinion? He wasn’t letting him make the decision, just asking for input
What if Heyward had told Fruti he didn’t want to hit 2nd and wanted to bat 3rd or 4th, then what would Fruti have done?

I’d do that without thinking twice about it.

I feel like a geek for pointing this out but that is not true it’s a hoax someone photo shopped June 27th into the picture the real date in the movie is October 21, 2015.
