If Holliday bolts, who plays left field?

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 23:25:34 GMT

Sign DeRosa. This move gives us the most versatility plus is insurance in case we can’t sign Holliday or Bay. If we sign Holliday or Bay he would be our fourth outfielder plus backing up at second and third.

Braves 2009 Season in Review: Matt Diaz

Fri, 30 Oct 2009 16:53:43 GMT

I think we can officially call the 2009 season of Atlanta Braves outfielder Matt Diaz a "breakout season." For all NL right-fielders with at least 100 plate appearances, Matt Diaz led the league in batting average and on-base percentage.

Braves 2009 Season in Review: Garret Anderson

Fri, 23 Oct 2009 15:08:43 GMT

When considering the 2009 season of Garret Anderson, I think it's more useful to look at the alternatives to Anderson that the Braves were considering, or at least rumored to be considering.

The Sky Is Falling, David Freese is a Cheap Copout, Offseason Shopping List Chat Thread

When the fall is all that's left, it matters a great deal. Just as the backup catcher. Thurston will be the starting 3B there are some things you just don’t joke about. I’m thinking of temporarily banning you for such an out-of-bounds comment.

Is it wise to tie up so much money in Pujols and Holliday?

Tue, 13 Oct 2009 20:34:32 GMT

THE WATERCOOLER: Is it smart baseball to spend nearly 40 percent of a team’s payroll on two players as the Cardinals could do with Albert Pujols and Matt Holliday? JOE STRAUSS: No. If the payroll were $125 million, then maybe.

Ryan Ludwick said in MLB.com:

I don't even care about me right now ... This is all about the team. All the hard work we put in, all the offseason, Spring Training, the additions that came over and helped out tremendously, everybody. This whole team deserves a pat on the back. But our business isn't over yet. This is a first step. For me, you grow up as a kid dreaming about playing in a World Series, and this is the first step.

John Baker said in St. Louis Post-Dispatch:

We're not trying to hit anybody, obviously, in that situation ... We're not trying to hit Ryan Ludwick to get to Albert Pujols with the bases loaded up by four. Common sense says that's not what you want to do.
