I agree….I’ll also be interested to see what adjustments Simba makes and if Freddie can get back to a .290 type hitter….
Frankly I think FF is a .300 hitter waiting to happen…just needs to get out of the pull happy racking up the K type slumps

Murph – The clutch conversation in question has been on-going for months and months and months and months and months and months and months and months and months and months and months and months and months and months and months and months and months and months and months and months and months and months and months and months and months and months.
Having not participated in the main blog for months and months and months and months . . ., I was unaware that the clutch conversation had been exhausted to death. This was the first time I had engaged in such a conversation.
I apologize for not researching every previous blog for months and months and months and months … to determine which particular discussions have been discussed ad nauseum. If it is any consolation, I now have a big headache and feel that I wasted valuable time in debating the topic.

You can’t expect Frank Wren to say anything other than what he did. However, they must do something with Hanson, Jurrjens, Bourne, and Pastornicky. They need to replace Chipper, the need a consistent hitter (with power) for Left field. Get some solid reserves for the outfield and infield. Catching is in good shape for now.

Enough of the Chipper E Jones. It was one of the worst plays I’ve ever seen and breaks my heart, and unfortunately that’s the first thing I think of when I think of Chipper now. He makes that play, and we’re probably not here complaining and waiting for next year.
But time to move on, guy gave us everything and actually was clutch in the postseason at least early on. In 95 he hit the homers against the Rockies that won at least one of those games, he was big in the 99 NLCS as well. Could he have come through more? Sure. But he gave it his all, that can’t be denied.
I think Revere is a good way to go. Cheaper and had better numbers than Bourn and he’s younger. He’s still evolving. Give him a shot. Better than overpaying for Mike B, who while I really enjoyed watching, has shown that he gets tired in the second half for the second consecutive season.
And can someone clear something up for me? If Mac’s option IS NOT picked up does that mean he’s off the team? Or does that mean he stays on and then becomes a free agent for 2014 (Jesus can’t believe I’m saying that is going to be the year soon)?
Here’s what I’m hoping for, for next season.
1.Ben Revere
2.Prado
3.Heyward
4.Headly
5.Freeman
6.Uggla
7.Mac
8.Simmons
9.Medlen
Make a serious play for Headly, or Justin Upton. Someone who can give us some pop who is a right hander.
Bench should stay the same minus Hinske and Overbay. Bring up Mejia and see what he can do. Maybe even Gattis.
BP would stay the same.
Rotation

Minor
Huddy

Delgado
GET RID OF TOMMY HANSON! He needs to have more stamina? Really? How about locating your fastball and not hanging your slider everytime a lefty comes up. Good lord. Tommy has always been a power pitcher, but not anymore. He doesn’t know how to finesse pitch.
If we have the money, we should make a run at Grienke perhaps, although I think Delgado has a chance of being great as does Tehran (to a lesser extent.) Plus we’re getting Beach Club back in July.
I’d also be willing to look and see who’d take Uggla. Honestly. I love the way he tries, but the results are not there. His midsummer slump is inexcusable. I know Wren won’t (which is why I didn’t predict the line up without him), but if I had it my way, I’d use him as a trade piece. People might be scared off by the contract but, who knows. At least try. That’d be a lot of money off the books that can be put somewhere useful. Wren has made some bad moves, but man, while Uggla isn’t the worst (Kawakami has to be), he’s a close second. Uggla was great on paper, but hasn’t performed. It’s time to ship him, I hate to say it, but his performance is inexcusable with the amount of money he’s being paid.
Pay Prado, but whatever you do, do not pay Tommy Hanson anything, trade JJ, trade Hanson. It’s time to get their under performing and injury riddled selves out of here. I hate to sound like the negative nancies on here, but facts are facts. Wren is DELUSIONAL if he thinks Hanson should stick around here.
Been a fun year minus the BS on Friday. Had fun with you all, even the negative nancies. Will be around, but not as regularly because sadly while the Braves should be playing tomorrow in game 3 of the NLDS, they won’t be playing until April because of those horrid errors. Most notably Chipper’s. So sad….

I have read endless comments about how horrible Wren and Gonzalez are, but I beg to differ. The worst deal Wren has made as GM is without a doubt, Derek Lowe. It was a horrible deal, and I have no problem admitting that. Kawakami was highly sought after but he just didnt pan out. Lowe and Burnette were the best pitchers on the FA market and he was competing with the Yanks. Who knew Mclouth and Uggla would slump so badly? They both looked like good deals at the time. There are still tons of people who think he was responsible for the Texiera trade. Aside from those moves, Wren has built a contending team around a core of young guys like: Heyward, Freeman, Simmons, Venters, and Kimbrel. He picked O’flaherty off of waivers and the guy set an ERA record. The Bourn trade gave us a speedy leadoff guy when we basically had no speed. He completely rebuilt our pen, starting when he signed Wagner, and shaped it into one of the best in the game. We tied for the fourth best record in baseball with 94 wins. Our defense was 1st in the league. Our pitching ranked 5th overall. I think people tend to forget we missed the playoffs in 06, 07, 08, and 2009. Wren has built a team that is exciting to watch again. It’s refreshing to know he will be adding “premium” players and I am excited to see who will be in a Braves uniform next season.

Well, that’s a big decision. I’m sure they’ll pick up Mac’s option although his performance has declined, he’s gained weight and just doesn’t look like himself anymore. I know he was injury ridden but who’s to say that that doesn’t creep up again? We have a good team, but it’s going to take a lot to replace Chipper. Picking up options on Mac and Huddy might not be the answer as much as I love both of them. I’d prefer Hudson, but that’s 21 million right there. Gah, Wren please, please make a move this offseason that will give us a nice right handed stick and Ben Revere.

This is going to be like one of those chess matches where one player makes a move and then hits the timer, leaving the second player an allotted amount of time to make his next move. Dragging feet could leave Mac a free agent by 11/1/12. The Braves will want medical proof before committing to the option and if Mac is hurt, he is going to be very reluctant to report to the Braves Dr.’s for examination. It will be like “Wheel of Forturn” with Vanna White spinning that wheel.

Season is over so I can speak out on Uggla.
Season isn’t over a week and in spite of what we have seen for 2 years now some are already saying Uggla is going to snap out of it next year. Still waiting on that inevitable hot streak that has yet to come. Yeah he walks so his OBP is decent looking but I don’t think he drove in any runs with any of those walks this year and if he did it was less than 3.
Defense is better than we thought when he came here but still not good. Heck, if he hadn’t been slow to the bag he could have caught the throw Chipper made to him but he was late getting there and couldn’t react to keep the throw on the infield.
Wish they would DIVORCE Uggla, move Prado to 2nd, get a 3rd baseman and if we can do no better in left at least get a lefty hitter to platoon in left with Johnson.

Only the brain-dead FREDDI GONZALEZ left to hang your vitrolic blame-game on. Unless you invent some new villains to portray as inept boobs in BRAVES uni’s. UGGLA, McCANN et. al.
HEH! You losers are really funny.

Hey Key
Thats just the way I saw it. The way he was approaching the bag the only throw he could handle was a perfect one. But you saw it different. I’m not gonna call you names though! I’ll admit that I am ready to pounce on Uggla though whenever he screws up because I’m so tired of watching him flail away up there and strand runners.

Most teams have second baseman that aren’t middle of the order RBI guys and are better defensively and more slap hitters. I realize thats not Uggs fault. However, he was brought here to hit and drive in runs. I don’t think he can be defended by leading 2nd basemen in RBIs when obviously his production hasn’t been close to what we expected when he was signed.
If I’m so wrong about him maybe other teams would want a 220 hitter that led the league in walks and wont mind that he led the league in Ks. Then we wouldn’t have to eat all that salary.
