Would you like two great players that play with alot of heart and energy. Go get Torri Hunter for left and Victorino for CF. Victorino is a Prado type player that gives his all, and Torri Hunter, I’ve always liked the way he plays the game. Oh yeah and move Prado to 3rd.

I hope he does go with another team – what good is someone “speedy” who doesn’t get on base after June?

He needs to go back to Houston where there’s no pressure of a pennant race.

Somebody said sign Rolen, are u kidding me? Hamiliton, Bourn, and Headley will all be too expensive for what the Braves need and can afford. The Braves need a lead-off guy and a right handed power bat to help out Uggla(who isn’t going anywhere) and to balance out the lefty loaded line-up we currently have. My suggestions for the Line-up would be as follows: 1) Victorino, a switch hitter, affordable and a good hitter with RISP. 2) Prado 3rd, plays best in infield. 3) Heyward RF, good spot for him. 4) Willingham LF, right handed power bat, would do well here. 5) Freeman 1st 6) Uggla 2nd ( keeping righty,lefty line-up). 7) McCann/Ross/ (Gattis starting season) C. 8) Simmons SS( still learning the league, possible lead-off in the future. 9) Pitcher. Rotation in order: 1) Medlen 2) Minor 3) Hudson 4) Maholm 5) Tehran, Delgado, Hanson or whoever until Beachy back mid-season. Beachy slips into 2nd spot and everyone moves down a spot with Medlen still #1. Bench: Francisco, Pastornicky, R. Johnson, Ross, Left handed bat to be determined. Bullpen: Kimbrel, Venters, O’Flaherty, C. Martinez, Avilan, Gearrin, Durbin ( yes you re-sign Durbin). Janish( too low batting avg. to take up bench space), Diaz, Hinske, Baker, Moylan do not need to return. 2013 Bravos!!!

Bourn just won the Best Defensive Award for NL and Trout Won for AL…..

Couldn’t win Gold Glove but got BDANL..

Hamilton asking 175 million for 7 years…he wont be a Brave.
