Atlanta Braves C Brian McCann said he won't be distracted by the fact no extension talks have starter, and the team might wait until the offseason to initiate any discussions. "I'm going to go out and play baseball and see what happens," McCann said. "I...

This table suggests there is some reason for optimism about the Braves run production in 2012. Martin Prado was slowed by a staph infection and should be at full strength in 2012. A full season of Michael Bourn will be an improvement over Nate McLouth...
-
And does the presence of four left-handed hitters mean the lineup could look much different based on whether it faces a right-handed or left-handed starter? There is certainly a chance Gonzalez will begin the season batting Chipper third and Brian...
-
In fact, that ability may be so important that if you believe the numbers, framing pitches has to be considered the new hidden, cost-effective gem in player evaluation. Since 2008, Max reports that Molina has saved 62.8 runs framing pitches, third-best...

They want the NL East to have one of a most competitive, compelling pennant races with four teams thinking about the postseason on Labor Day, a race that would highlight young stars like Harper, Mike Stanton and Jason Heyward; veteran stars like Chase...

For those wondering, Manny Ramirez does not have to be completely idle during his 50-game suspension for violating baseball’s drug policy. Ramirez, who turns 40 on May 30, is eligible to play in spring-training games, according to major-league sources. ...

Do not expect to see that again this year if they have another lead like that. Heyward will re-insert himself into that lineup as one of the team’s best bats, to go along with a pretty impressive lineup that features future Hall of Fame third baseman...

I remember offering that opinion to some Braves fans on one of their message boards, and needless to say, if they could’ve hit me with some rotten fruit, I am sure they would of. Now, I am not claiming to be some sort of modern day Nostradamus. If I...

There is a patch on the arms with two crisscrossing tomahawks and the year “1876” — when the franchise was founded in Boston. Chipper Jones, Dan Uggla and Brian McCann were on hand to model the uniforms. “I love it,” said Jones, the team's third...

Bring on spring training! "I wasn’t thinking about it. That’s the worst celebration of all time. I didn’t know what to do. I got lost in the moment." That’s the worst celebration of all time. I didn’t know what to do. I got lost in the moment." Now...

.234/.293/.371 in 57 games and 197 at-bats, he had a big winter ball season in the Dominican Republic, and the Angels believe he will be a big part of their future after likely spending the majority of 2007 with Triple-A Salt Lake. Pena figures to be...

The Braves maintain a solid mix of veterans — third baseman Chipper Jones, catcher Brian McCann, second baseman Dan Uggla and pitcher Tim Hudson — and younger players — Heyward, first baseman Freddie Freeman, and pitcher Craig Kimbrel. “It’s a good,...
-
For his part, though, Heyward doesn’t feel the pressure to do it on his own. “Yeah I have a lot to do with this upcoming season, but so does Martin [Prado], so does Freddie [Freeman], so does Mike Bourn, Chip,” Heyward said. “So do [Brian McCann] and...

Their production saw a wRC+ of 118 (4th), wOBA of .344 (4th) and an overall WAR of 5.0 (4th). The most surprising thing to me, was that the Arizona Diamondbacks had a better year than the Braves in the advanced stats. This was no doubt due to the...

The question: Is the give-and-take worth it, or -- to draw upon an age-old quandary -- are they sacrificing too much defense for offense? Teams have taken a similar approach in the past at catcher, sticking with defensively limited players like Mike...
-
To that end, I'd prefer that Schneider only be called upon to give Carlos a rest, and not because our beloved starting catcher caught the injury bug. Offense Matters: For catchers, defense and calling a good game is the priority. That's why catchers...
-
The Nationals? They will need both Ryan Zimmerman AND Jayson Werth to have big power years and if the Phils lose Ryan Howard, they will be hoping the duo of Chase Utley and Hunter Pence will carry the lunch until Howard returns to healthy status. The...
-
Of those who renew or purchase by February 17, one will be selected to throw out the game's Ceremonial First Pitch to catcher Brian McCann. Of those who renew or purchase by March 2, two will be chosen to announce the starting line-ups prior to the game.
