So Bourjos now sucks a second time, and you still love him?
But no room in your heart for Juan?
I sort of like the latin flair, the cap akimbo, the cute earrings. You go for the straight-laced type?

He was hurt the 2nd time and sat for the superman Trout… Juan couldn’t beat out another rookie. Got holes in his swing bigger than Stone Mountain. Not fast, not a good defender like Peter. But who knows, maybe it wouldn’t hurt to give him a shot. He can play 3B since we’d be losing Prado, and we can give Juan the 3B job for the future. We’ll see how it turns out.
As for his Latin flair, not a fan, but that’s no reason to hate/dislike him. It’s all about performance. And so far, he’s never really been good.

My quotes about Bourjos were in jest, obviously, and so was my comment about liking “latin flair.” Generally, I don’t. Juan seems to have only a small dose of it anyway. I just think Juan has a chance to dial it up a couple of levels. Mainly needs adjustments between the ears. We’ll see.

“Sure like the new BP hats.”
When will they stay away from the screaming Indian faces. Regardless of what side of the argument you might be on…..is it really worth it? A mentor of mine– when I was a young adult trying to navigate in the management ranks– once said to me: “If it doesn’t feel right, don’t do it.” It would be too easy for these 20-something marketing nitwits to do a bit of research and conclude that playing with the Indian faces just isn’t worth it.

I have a feeling that those that don’t like it.. probably weren’t going to spend any money on the club in the first place. Someone like me however that have followed the club and remember Chief Knock-a-homer will spend the money because of the nostalgia.

Too much politically correct BS these days. I would think it would be an honor to have the logo, after all it’s just a laughing/screaming Indian and they are called the Braves. Personally I love the logo and hope it makes a comeback on more than just the BP hat and will be purchasing it.

IMO, if you are going to start one of Gattis or Francisco, it would be Fransisco and start Gattis in Gwinett so he can get some instruction on LF defense. Then if Fransisco falters, you can bring up Gattis and move Prado to third. Key Largo
You are correct, sir. And furthermore, I would be reluctant to trade Juan unless a to good to pass up deal were offered. You can plug him in at 3B in the event of an injury to Prado, Gattis, or Uggla. Good insurance to have.

Must admit is has been a strange off season so far for the Braves.
As we have seen the last couple of years, we get comments from management with high expectations for additional personal for the upcoming year, but the results don’t match the expectations.
The Upton signing was interesting, the guy is a talented player and is still young, but he is not the player that most were expecting.
We lost a lead off hitter and a 4 hole hitter and get a guy that really should be hitting 5-7 in our order.
I think the young man has tons of talent will be a net benefit to the team, but he will strike out and he will slump and we just have to learn to deal with it.
The Braves have 3 younger guys that have some power that could help the club next year in Gattis Mejia and Francisco. The Braves need for 1 of these guys to have a great spring and win a starting job. And like others have said, not sure that it makes sense to have Gattis on the team as a bench guy, and not sure how valuable Francisco will be as a bench bat or PH.
Braves pitching is in good shape at starter, the bullpen and in the high minors. In fact we actually have an excess of starting pitching in the high minors. There is potential to trade from this strength if that is necessary later in the season if the Johnson/Gattis/Francisco/Mejia/Prado “platoon” is not working.
I think the Braves should at least consider talking to the Twins about trading say a Spruil and an Hale for one or more higher level hitting prospect. This would actually help both organizations, one is strong in minor league pitching, the other is strong in hitting…….
So far not a WOW type off season like the Jays, but we were a better team coming in and needed small tweaks as opposed to major changes.
And even with all the talk of the Nats and the Phillies getting better, I still like the core of the Braves team and think with a little luck and 1 of the 3 young hitters making a small splash in the Majors the Braves have a nice chance to win the NL East.

I have read a few things that suggest that if all the stars align, the Phillies could be a team to reckon with this year. Maybe that is true, I don’t see it, but I did not see the Orioles or the A’s last year either.

Nats 1, Braves 2 about 5gms back. Maybe they’ll slump a bit and we get hot to take over the division, but yes, it’s between just the 2 of us.
How anyone thinks the Phils will be a factor is beyond me. Roy is old, won’t be 100%, Lee is getting up there in age. They have crap in Young at 3B, Utley and Howard aren’t good, and their best OF is Revere, of the .330 SLG. Nothing there, they’ll fight the Mets for 3rd place and win 75.

Halladay, not 100%… old. Lee is getting up there in age, Utley is 34, so is Rollins. JRoll wasn’t all that good last year, 98 OPS+.
Phils have a bad player at 3B and 1B, a mediocre SS, an aging 2B, an aging catcher who doped last year, and a mess in the OF. Their pitching isn’t as feared as it used to be. And they’ve got tons of money tied up in these aging players. No farm to speak of.

Be careful. You are way too over enthusiastic about players you like (you will go to the nth degree to explain to us why you think that Bourjos will be a good player, despite 2 of 3 bad years) and then on the other hand you will take another players record (Juan Fran) and base ALL your points on the fact that he will NEVER get better (at, say pinch hitting) when you really don’t know that for sure.
And indeed Schafer might be cooked. But he also might not be cooked. You really don’t know.
I applaud your enthusiasm for the team and certain players, but I would also encourage you to be a tad bit more open minded. There are SOOOO many factors that come to play in determining how a player does in any given year.
Why, you don’t have a clue what Jordan Schafer might be doing to improve himself. Maybe nothing. But he also could be working with people that could help him to realize some of his potential.
And Bourjos might have had a lousy first year due to being young. And maybe last year’s lack of success was due to an injury, but maybe it was because he is a lousy hitter. Only time will tell.

I’ll try DS1… but it usually isn’t fanaticism… Schafer for example has never put together a full season and looked good. He got benched in Houston for Maxwell! Bourjos did put together a full season where he looked good and he got benched for Superman. As for Juan, well, the dude has huge holes in his swing and has looked good in AA winterball before; even last year he was considered the heir to Rolen. He then went on to stink it up in ST and got moved here.

There you go doing exactly what I said that you do. Not being open minded. A lot more goes into how a player is going to do than history.
I agree that a players record in the minors and in early seasons can be a big indicator, but sometimes it is not.
Mike Schmidt hit 196 with a 697 OPS in his first full season. Then proceed to hall of fame numbers from that time forward.
Schafer got hurt in his first week of play back in 2009. Had a similar year to Bourjos’ year in 2011. Last year, on a go nowhere team, he sucked. Did he suck because he has no talent? Or did he suck because he was on a go nowhere team and was pressing? I personally don’t know. So I choose not to write him off on December 28th. I’ll wait and let HIM write himself off, or not during the spring.
Same with Francisco.

Francisco is younger than Bourjos. You’d think they should both be judged by the same standards. Plus none of Francisco’s critics will ever admit he plays 3rd base better than CJ did his last couple of years.

So Bourjos injury last year hurt him, but Schafer’s 3 stints on the DL didn’t affect him in any way?
Again, I’m not saying Schafer will ever amount to anything, but you are saying definitely that he will never amount to anything. Huge difference. Hurt his wrist in 2009. Those are hard to come back from (let’s see how Bourjos does in 2013 from his wrist injury).
You can’t have it both ways. The best possible scenario for the guy you like, yet no breaks for the guy you think is toast. Operative word is “think”.
Half Empty
I stand corrected (though semi-automatic was what I meant to say). And yes, a lot of players on go nowhere teams press trying to help their teams too much. It happens. Not to all players, but for some it is harder being on a bad team.

Hillbilly,
Read tour post about Neff leaving the DBT’s and then read Patterson’s take online.
Really sad he is leaving, he really is a great player and adds tons of texture to the DBT’s sound.

Guys, I’m not trying to say that Schafer or Francisco (or a host of others on our roster) are ever going to make significant contributions to this team. But a few years back, there were few who thought Prado would be as important as he has become.
Let the kids play the game, and we will see where the chips fall. I’m not going to write off any of these guys, Bourjos included. (and I tend to think Bourjos is going to have a good career)
That’s why until proven otherwise, I’ll be a big BJ Upton supporter. And I will continue to assume that Uggla and Mac will have rebound years.
Maybe I should change my moniker to “Half Full”???

It may have, but what hurt him more was being sat in favor of Trout… Trumbo, Trout, Hunter. Bourjos didn’t get the playing time. Schafer still did, and stunk.
he plays 3rd base better than CJ did his last couple of years.
Better? Debatable… maybe he’s better now that he’s skinny

Tough game in Minnesota, Sunday. The Vikings are playing very well and they’ve only lost 1 game at home.
If the Rams can beat Seattle (and you know how tough the Rams can be), you’ll still win the division even if you ARE upset.

Perhaps some folks here seem to confuse the blog wanting a player and the Braves wanting a player. Young is not someone whom the Braves would probably be all that interested in given his personality and attitude, and I do not recall the Braves indicating that last year.
The blog though was awash in Delmon luv

If Prado tears up a knee and is out for the season, can we transplant his brain into Schafer?
Is that allowed?
