---The Unofficial Braves Chat Thread---

[steve-a-reno]

Just a thread to chat on our Braves.

I'll start. With the yanks also pursuing Burnett, Wren better find a way to get the Peavy deal done before he spents $100 million on A.J Burnett????

2009 is a lost cause.

I see us getting Randy Wolf. No need to overpay for something that won't do us any good. I don't want to trade a bunch of kids either as a panic move. Injuries have hurt us

Well, with flowers gone that went the big bargaining chip.

Vasquez was a mistake.

...funny...I was to start an OFFICIAL Braves Chat Thread...

Randy Wolf is a great pitcher as long as hes in the 4 spot.

 

[braves2008champs]

I know I'm in the minority- but I think we did fine with the Flowers trade. Vasquez will fill up nicely for a 2/3.

I'm hoping this is not the case, but I see 2009's starting rotation like this:

Vasquez, Jurrjens, Wolf, Campillo, Morton. Jo-Jo and Hanson will be in AAA waiting for one of these clowns to fall apart.

If we don't land Wolf, push everyone up a spot and put Jo-Jo at 5

If Smoltz comes back I don't think he'll be able to go into the rotation from the begining. Maybe by September we'll have him and Hudson back, but neither are a given

 

[braves2008champs]

It would look better like this:

Burnett, Vasquez, JJJ, Campillo, Morton

2010 would look f-ing stellar like:

Burnett, Hudson, JJJ, Hanson, <fill in the blank>

 

[mwashuc06]

When will Hanson be in the majors? By July?

 

[steve-a-reno]

braves2008champs- I dunno, locking up peavy for that long could be worth it.
gilmore- I agree completely.
thenumberonemetfan-I agree he could be a decent 4-5.

That's a AAA rotation. Our batting line-up is AAAA at best. Too many "needs to have a great year" (ie. Frency, Kotchman, OUTFIELD!) players scattered throughout, not to mention Chipper and McCann will only play in 120 games each. 2009 is going to be a year like 1989.

BTW...braves2008champs - I keep mening to ask. who's the chick in your avatar and why are we not seeing larger photos of her. This thread seems the appropriate spot for them.

 

[braves2008champs]

I'm a pretty lucky guy

I'm a pretty lucky guy

Agreed!!!! BTW - the Vaughn insert should arrive any day now...

 

[braves2008champs]

thank you times 2.

 

[braves2008champs]

back on topic :lol: ... I'm happy we haven't traded Yunel. I'd hate to lose him.

i still have to disagree with you, he is a horrible pitcher that is at the end of his career, calling him decent would be overdoing it.

cute is what we aim for is my favorite band.

 

[chippernate]

Who agrees with me that Wren is an idiot? Trade 7 tops players for Tex then trade him for Kotchman and a guy that I can't remeber his name. Then goes flowers for a mediocre pitcher at best. What's next???
