Show #135: Final Business Before Spring

Dan Uggla’s contract extension.  One year deals for the arbitration eligible players.  And the leading candidate for CF (guess who?).

    You married people are always super helpful! I keep forgetting about Curt’s harem philosophy.

    I always travel with two of them. That way, if they want to talk, I don’t have to get involved.

    This is hilarious:

    Curt – I agree. It’s really genius on the Twins’ part.

    For those who haven’t seen, the Braves are doing bobbleheads this year as well (what were they thinking taking a break from them, btw?!?!)

    The braves had had so many bad calls go against them in the postseason, even going back to Buster Posey being called safe in Game 1. He was clearly out and it wasn’t even close. Sad, sad. If lonnie smith is paying attention, if sid bream doesn’t hit into a double play,if gant doesn’t get called out the braves probably have 2 world series championships.

    I am so ready to believe this! http://blogs.ajc.com/atlanta-braves-blog/2011/02/20/finally-healthy-again-could-schafer-challenge-for-job/

    6 days until the first ST game. So ready.

    Do I here crow?

    Hah…here, hear, same thing.

    Bring on the Schafer Era, Vista Edition

    Steve Says:

    Alright people. Over/Under on Nate’s batting average in Spring Training? We’ll set the line at .250. I say under.

  11. 136
    Curt Says:

    I say over, which is the killer because we will have to read all about how he’s coming in strong and it will keep him in the lineup longer when he starts the season 7-36.

    Curt Says:

    Anyone see this?

    http://mlb.fanhouse.com/2011/02/20/report-kevin-millwood-rejects-yankees-minor-league-offer/?ncid=txtlnkusspor00000002&xid=siextra_022111

    How sweet is it to watch the Yanks grasp at straws. Colon? Freddie Garcia? Javy Vazquez wasn’t a better option? I smell a spot for KK to be sent.

  13. 138
    Steve Says:

    And the Yanks offered Millwood a Spring Training invite (but no guaranteed spot on the big club) and he turned it down.

  14. 139
    Leah Says:

    Yanks are needy? I’d love to give ‘em KK…if he ever makes it out of Japan. Let the games begin!

    Leah Says:

    The Rev’s complaining about my commenting how thrilled I am to see Dan Uggla in a Braves uni. I fixed it by telling him how thrilled I am to see him out of a Marlins uni.

    Danny Says:

    I agree with the Shafer optimism. That article had me pumped before I read about Chipper’s soreness!

    Kate Says:

    I’m ready for some games.

    Ditto #142

    Ditto #141

    Getting pretty excited. March Madness into Baseball Season is always one of my favorite times of the year.

    Under .250 for McOut in ST.

    Imagine the numbers Chipper could have put up in his career if baseball allowed the designated runner.

    Nate Says:

    #141, I am getting pretty excited about Schafer coming on strong in the Spring. I was a doubter at first, but DOB has sold me on the hype once again.

  22. 147
    Nate Says:

    I just used “pretty excited” in consecutive posts. What a loser. Work less. Sleep more. Someday.

    Steve Says:

    From a Buster Olney tweet this morning: Amazing how big Freddie Freeman is. He looks like a left guard playing first… But with good hands

    Hey Steve everybody knows my answer on mclouth in ST. I’m going over..300+ to be exact and I’m also very excited to see schaefer is that guy that everyone is talking about. I hope he is because then we would have a solid OF unit.

    I’m stoked just got my tickets for April 2nd in DC. I can’t wait!
