I wasn’t saying that phil actually is all that negative, I realize that a lot of his comments are facetious. however he doesn’t make enough positive comments to let others know that IMO, and I often see his name brought up as an example of the prevailing negativism and i’m not sure he realizes that. wasn’t a cut at him

Very surprised there has been no talk of the Braves going after a RP at the break when I feel that is probably the only thing standing in our way. We don’t need another SP, we just meed either our current SP to go deeper into games or for Wren to add another solid arm in the pen. Simmons will get back soon and will revamp this offense as soon as it starts to struggle again

But with Sheets on board, if he stays healthy these next couple of weeks, I think it decreases the likelihood of the Braves mortgaging part of the future by trading away multiple prospects in any deal to acquire a starter before the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline.
Even if he does stay healthy, he got hurt often two years ago and you’d hate to be left with that after 8/1. Makes so much sense to add a starter not only for the stretch run, but for 2013 as well.

Awesome post, unbelievable. Especially thought his conclusion was a good take on it:
Mechanical conclusion
I think it’s pretty clear that Hanson has cut down on some of the things that will stress his posterior shoulder: The recoil has been significantly diminished. However, so is his fastball velocity, and I highly doubt that will return. A better solution to cutting down on unnecessary posterior shoulder stress and retaining the fastball velocity may be learning to use the shoulders in a more complete manner to provide a longer, more efficient deceleration path. The “dart-throwing” aspect of his arm action is far down the list of things to worry about, if it’s even something to focus on at all.
However, this is a perfect example that shows that rotation = velocity. Cutting down on rotation in hopes of solving another problem will come at a price. Can Hanson use these mechanics and diminished fastball velocity to return to form as a 3.20 – 3.80 xFIP kind of pitcher, a clear No. 2 in the rotation? Only time will tell. But while going from 93 to 90 might not be too bad, going from 90 to 88 could be a drastic difference to hitters, as fastball effectiveness does not diminish in a 1:1 ratio with lost velocity.

I think more than potential injury is his innings pitched. The guy hasn’t done it a while (119 innings pitched two years ago) so while he could dominate for a bit, I’d imagine fatigue will come into play which makes getting another top shelf ace important.
Add to all of that, if the Braves are a wild-card team, they’ll need to have another top line starter for that “wild card day” Bud is drooling over.

I recall the back end of the rotation also picked it up a bit when Medlen was sent down to get stretched out. Then when it was apparent he would not take a starter spot they had a relapse. So here we are again with a gun being held to Minor’s head until at least the rest of July so expect him to notch it up. But what will he become in Aug/Sep when he is once again comfortable? I suppose/hope he can be motivated with the thought of Delgado lurking.

He did do an article way back when Tommy was coming up and said he wasn’t worried at all about his mechanics. Comes to be that they did indeed need to change, and therefore, the pitcher coming up has vanished and now we have more of a #3 instead of a #1/2.

If Sheets has a decent start and they stay pat and make wildcard and not advance, I call that a extremely disappointing season. Lost one guy so far(Beachy), have had guys out but they are back. This current staff doesn’t have enough firepower to advance deep.
If FW stays pat and the team gets past the wildcard game and eventually into the NLCS, well he’s GM of the century not year.
You got Bourn last season to make a run. Chipper’s last year, he makes a move IMO.

That was as good a performance as I have ever seen. The man has true grit, determination, and the will power to make it happen. Rare in this day and time… GO BRAVES! All the way!

It certainly would be intriguing if the Braves made the playoffs as a wild card team and had to face off in a one game winner take all duel with the Pirates, twenty years after the famous Sid Bream slide. The Pirates would certainly be motivated.

nolie, I would guess what Sheets does is separate from what the Braves will go after in the trade market. If a trade isn’t made, I think it will have more to do with what other teams are asking and what the Braves don’t want to part with.
I don’t think even 3-4 more impressive starts from Sheets changes all that much in the way of what the Braves are in the market for. Sheets is still an injury risk, no matter how well he throws in his next few starts. So I think ideally the Braves still want to get one of the better starters on the market, if they can make a trade work. And I honestly don’t think Sheets performing well in multiple starts would change what they are willing to give up or not give up. It may help with leverage because Sheets may allow the Braves to appear less desperate for pitching.

I’ve seen some really straight 88’s and 89’s, TenneseePaul. If that’s his two seamer, he needs to work on getting some more run on it.
Like I said, maybe an additional offseason of shoulder strengthening will make him a better pitcher. If not, and we get similar 2012 results, then I’ll be much more open to trading him with 2 more seasons of control left.

i totally agree, and the last two offseasons have been very frustrating to me, when there are useful players gotten for next to nothing and the braves kind of drag their feet.
in 2010, getting farnsworth and ankiel was weak, and really ticked me off. last year, bourn was awesome, but no bullpen help, which is probably the easiest thing to find at the trade deadline?
this year, the NL is ripe for the braves, and getting help in any of the SP, RP, or bench categories could go a long way. ive said before, it doesnt have to be a SP, but do something. there are some really good relievers on some terrible teams, as well as some good bench bats. dont stand pat, wren.

I think people are too obsessed with one start from Sheets. Yes, he pitched much much better than anyone could expect. However, he was about a foot away from a Daniel Murphy 2 run hr in left center field and he gave up a ton of fly ball outs. I want to see more before I jump to conclusions and say he’s back. I also hope he can teach Hanson a thing or two.
I have major concerns about Huddy and that ankle after watching his velocity drop to 86-88 in his last start.
Braves definitely need to upgrade the rotation no matter how Sheets pitches in his next start.

you thinkin Frank Wren gets the axe?
My guess would be that Fredo is on much thinner ice than Wren is. If the Braves don’t make the playoffs this year, I’m betting that Fredo is gone. That COULD be the end for Wren as well, but it seems unlikely. I think his moves as the GM have been a positive overall, but it’s possible that if Fredo is fired then Wren will be fired as well, as Fredo was “his guy”.

I like that lineup. It will look even better with Simmon hitting 7th and Ugga 8th

“but only one wild card berth in 5 years isnt good enough.
sure cause all the other teams did so much better ”
Probably don’t think you would fine that on a mantle or plaque in the Cardinal’s executive offices. I think FW probably doesn’t use those words either.

Dempster is not going to be a Brave. He pitched his way off our radar by getting on the LAD, BoSox, etc. radar

finally we have given up on the LRLRLRLR thingy
I think it’s less that, and more that we’ve just given up on the Dan Uggla thingy (for the time being)
