The thing you guys are kinda missing is that the stopgap SS could also be a bench upgrade over Wilson and it’s not going to cost much of anything in trade to acquire said SS.
Frank, that’s nice in the abstract, but who’s out there that Wren can get cheaply and is an upgrade over Wilson/Pastornicky?

Obviously you haven’t read my previous posts in which I mentioned a couple possible options: Brendan Ryan and Jamey Carroll. Ryan is excellent defensively. Carroll is solid defensively and has hit .291 and .290 the past two years (.274 career hitter). Both guys are veterans on teams going nowhere so I would think they’d probably come pretty cheaply in a trade. Ryan has the cheaper contract of the two–under $2M this year.

Marco Scutaro might be an option as well. I forgot to mention him. He’s making $6M this year, but the Braves would only owe, at most, the prorated portion of that for the remainder of the season and then he’s a FA after the season. He can play SS/2B/3B and would be an upgrade over Wilson once Simmons returns.

One thing that probably would have prevented Simmons injury is a pair of mittens.

I think Pete Rose managed to slide head first for about 24 years without getting hurt. No manager is going to discourage the practice, despite the genius analysis by iTiSi. You can get hurt sliding feet first, too. Maybe they should all just sit out every game to avoid getting hurt. Stuff happens. Deal with it.

Simmons is the best young shortstop in the majors, He needs a veteran to guide him through his adjustment period. It’s to late to warn him about head first sliding , but not to late to warn him about that heavy necklace that hits him in the face every time he touches the ball.

uggla, wilson, pastornicky, and francisco/diaz/henske when chipper goes DL again, a collective .200 average if we’re lucky holding down the 6-8 spots in the lineup. And people here still think the Braves will be in the wildcard hunt. Hah!
When they end the season with more RBI’s from the number 1 & 2 hitters than they got from 6-8, maybe Wren will realize that we have a problem that signing has-beens and never weres is not going to cure.

The Rev or Wilson? I’ll take Wilson. I think it’s pretty obvious what effect a leaky defense can have on the rotation.
When the Rev was up, I held my breath with every ball hit to short. According to ESPN, Pastor directly contributed to plus 15 runs against while AS efforts resulted in a Minus 10 runs allowed. To the layman it simply reads that AS saved the Braves staff runs and The Rev’s efforts led to allowing more runs than it should have.
Let the rest of the offense carry the Braves and let Wilson’s good defense make a difference. Nothing personal about Pastor but he is a liability at SS. He has proven that already in the big leagues. It would seem that the stability defensively is likely more important the the chance of getting a bit more offense from Pastor.

How about just a little common sense on this discussion??!!
Jack Wilson will NOT be the starting SS while AS is out. IF they bring Pastornicky back up, he’ll be the starter to give him the playing time, which is what he needs. No sense in calling him up and then let him sit and watch!! Besides, he’s much better offensively, and in reality just about as good defensively. Wilson has the range of a slug.
IF the Braves were to stupidly go out and trade for a temporary SS (and have to give away good prospects for that!!), they wouldn’t do that just to have him ride the bench while Wilson provides mediocre play at best. He would be the starter, and then be kept as a backup with Wilson being released when Simmons comes back.
Oh, and by the way…….Prado doesn’t need to play SS. Give it a rest.

Armchair managers. Not a one of us on here really knows what the Braves are going to do.
On another note, the son of one of my co-workers is a wide receiver on a high school football team in Gwinnett. About 3 weeks ago, he was in the weight room and a had an incompetent spotter. The son was deadlifting a pretty substantial amount of weight and realized that one end had become unbalanced and was sliding down toward his neck. He somehow got his hand up as the weight came down. It basically severed the ring finger on his left hand. It was just below the first joint above the hand and was hanging by a thread, my co-worker said. They rushed him to the hospital and the doctor was able to reattach the finger. He gets the cast off this week, about 3 weeks post-injury and they will splint it. Doc says it’s healing fine. Kid has a future in football, and as a wide receiver, needs both hands. I hope his finger heals, and I hope Andrelton’s pinky heals up quickly like this kid’s finger has.

“Jack Wilson will NOT be the starting SS while AS is out. IF they bring Pastornicky back up, he’ll be the starter to give him the playing time, which is what he needs. ”
What HE NEEDS? What HE NEEDS? What the hell do the Braves need? Do they need some guy that when a ball is hit in his direction all fans AND team mates hold their collective breaths?
Good grief,you, “never weres” that replaced your little league failures with statistic lust need to consider that it isn’t always about what some mediocre, over-rated prospect needs…. it’s about what gives the big league team the best chance to win!

There must be someone out there who can play 2nd, short, and 3rd, and hit at least .240 that can be had for a reasonable price. The Braves haven’t had a “super utility” type since Infante left, and they sorely need one. Their bench is extremely weak and with Fredi carrying extra pitchers the need for a “super utility” player is NOW! Go get ‘em Frank.

That’s fine. We all have our opinions. I’m not saying it’s a guarantee that the Braves will make a trade for a guy like one of the three I mentioned, but I think Wren is looking to see what’s out there and it’s a pretty strong possibility a trade is made before Friday.
Also, think about this: If Wren wasn’t exploring trade options, why wouldn’t the corresponding move have been made today? If the Braves know they’re bringing up Pastornicky and aren’t exploring other options, why not go ahead and announce Pastornicky’s return now? It’s not like Gwinnett is playing again until Thursday night.

Look for Simmons to be back about the second week of September, at the soonest. Whoever steps in will pay most of the rest of the season. I join the chorus lamenting head-first slides. They just are not smart and can really cause a major problem even when only a very small bone is broken.

Jack Wilson is a career .265 nitter, with above average defensive skills… If any of you expert evaluaters of baseball had a lick of sense, you would know that you cannot judge a bench player by his batting average… He has only had 60 at bats or so, with long stretches in between… Not one of you armchairs could carry his jock strap… Martin Prado can play anywhere, given the chance… his play at SS has been minimal… he is the kind of player that after a week of playing a position he will learn enough to become more than competent…. I wish you jolly rodgers would listen to yourselves… I have constantly asked this, but I’ll beat a dead horse and try again… WHAT MAKES YOU BLUBBERERS THINK FOR ONE MOMENT YOU ARE ANY KIND OF EXPERT ON ANYTHING TO DO WITH MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL????

With the Wilson/Pastornicky option, SS is not our greatest need.

The truth is that we simply WILL NOT find the equivalent of Simmons to step in. NO MORE HEAD-FIRST SLIDES!

if the braves don’t trade for a ss, they definitely need to start wilson and use pastornicky off the bench. since joining the braves last season, wilson has only had 120 at bats total. I don’t know any player that could gain any consistency with that amount of limited play. I’m not saying that he will be the all star that he was in 2004, but considering that he hit in the .250 range or above ( in every season before coming to the braves with limited playing time), there is nothing that would lead me to believe that he can’t do the same now.
pastornicky’s bat can help the bench temporarily
Also, ben sheets has looked pretty good in his 2 outings. Hopefully he can make a good impact

The Braves should move McCann to shortstop, Prado to catcher and call up Constanza to play LF. Prado would be an awesome catcher with his agility and speed. McCann would be a power hitting shortstop. Constanza is best left fielder in the organization.

Muskrat Date (8:11) – you seem a little overhyped….too much coffee? too much booze?
The Braves have made it quite clear that they view Pastornicky as their future utility guy. With Infante traded and Prado now starting caliber (in fact All Star level), their bench is pathetic. Not too much they can do about it for this year, but what the Braves NEED is for Rev to get as much experience as possible as quickly as possible. So, the options are either to leave him at Gwinnett OR bring him up to play. So what he needs is the same as what the Braves need, at least for the longrun.
My other point is that Wilson is NOT starting caliber and the Braves can’t afford to use him in that role – not for the next 5-6 weeks minimum.
I’ve never been a fan of bringing in rental players, especially one who is obviously no more than a backup. Simmons is a future all star, and you can pencil him in for years to come. It would be stupid to trade away needed young prospects to bring in a GOOD SS, even if one was available. Once AS is back, you’d have to trade him and ultimately lose on the deal overall.
Our greater need by a lot is starting pitching. If Wren is gonna work some trades, that is where the team will see the most benefit in shipping off our best prospects.

My point being that the Astros most likely view Lowrie as part of their future, especially given his friendly contract. They’ll be able to get prospects for the veteran guys they’re trying to unload. I doubt they’re looking to trade Lowrie unless someone just blows them away with an offer and I don’t see the Braves doing that since we have other much more pressing needs that’ll most likely require us trading at least one of the three young SPs you mentioned.

The Braves are a very tentative and fragile group. Simmons loss for most of the second half is calamitous. He was a miraculous spark plug who dramatically elevated the team’s energy and made good things happen despite conspicuous shortcomings from the team’s high-priced “stars”. In short, he was an amazing catalyst.
Unfortunately, his return is unlikely to impact the crucial stretch run.
What his short-lived presence has shown is how important it is for the Braves to have a major impact player to replace him.
The Braves, albeit fragile, have eight above-average position starters: McCann, Freeman, Uggla, Jones, Prado, Bourn and Hayward. They have absolutely no dependable and high potential second tier replacements other than the catcher
back-up. This is the crux of the problem and the opportunity to breakthrough in the second half.
Acquire Chipper’s proven and serious replacement now. He should be able to play either third or short. Play him at short as long as necessary. Simultaneously, stop relying on second and third raters, young and old, for back-up infield and outfield substitutions and pinch hitting. This year has proved that the rookies and the veterans such as Hinske, Diaz and Wilson aren’t going to be up to the task for a run for the roses.
In short, build on the fragile core assets among the position players, fill the big shoes at shortstop for now and the future and dump the chumps who don’t have what it takes to step up in the clutch and win one when the stalwarts need a special lift.
Doing this will make the pitching staff as good as their potential.
Not just a replacement for Simmons, but a transformation and then some.

Not sure what the Braves are going to do to patch up weaknesses. Wren has some serious work to do over the next few weeks. Hopefully he’ll get it done.
I’d urinate on a spark plug if I thought it’d do any good.
