I would be bold as brass if I was confident in my knowledge of the system. Also math has never been my strong suit so all those numbers make me nervous. That’s why I like this community. It makes me baseball smart.
October 9th, 2009 at 9:35 am
Jealous…
October 9th, 2009 at 10:12 am
“If I was confident”…”were confident”? I guess grammer isn’t my strong suit either.
October 9th, 2009 at 10:42 am
., there ain’t no way it’s going to be Dan Uggla. We’ve got a 2nd baseman and his name is Martin Prado. Martin will be our starting 2nd basemen in 2010. And the big bat will be patrolling some position in the outfield. Believe it.
October 9th, 2009 at 12:02 pm
I agree with Curt. DOB, I think it was him, made a great point that Uggla is a subpar fielder (to put it mildly) and his average was a low 243 and not to mention 150 K’s. Even though he did hit 31 HRs, I hope we can set our sights a bit higher than Uggla
But he would be better than nothing.
Go Bravos!
October 9th, 2009 at 12:21 pm
I will NOT accept “better than nothin”. I want Ryan Howard’s equal. Uggla may be good lookin but Prado is the man.

Leah, that’s the only way for teams with any payroll restrictions at all to have Ryan Howard’s equal. The good news is, we do have him…
Patience + Dan Uggla = Dynasty
October 9th, 2009 at 12:49 pm
I love it .! I’m ready! Where do you plan on putting Uggla?
October 9th, 2009 at 12:50 pm
I would like to point out another similarity between Hanson and Heyward: they’re both big men.
This isn’t a small thing (no pun…). I have no statistical evidence, nor any intention of finding any, cuz I have the blogger’s golden key: a hunch. When big men enter the majors, it gives them a huge (no pun…) advantage over a regular sized guy with the same skill set.
Baseball is mental, and the opposing pitchers (or in Hanson’s case, opposing hitters) aren’t immune to the ancient mystique of big dudes. Baseball is a game of confidence and rhythm, and it’s as much about the opponent’s confidence and rhythm as it is your own. Basically, the pitcher isn’t going to feel about Heyward the same way he would a smaller rookie. He’s going to have a little fear. Conversely, Heyward himself will have less. That’s just how it goes with big men. Especially when they have a calm head.
Bring him up now and slay the East.

Leah, Uggla at second, Prado at third.
October 9th, 2009 at 12:52 pm
*I’m talking comPLETEly out of my ass and I can’t seem to stop…
October 9th, 2009 at 1:40 pm
I’ve got your back, . , when it comes to Heyward but I’m not so sure about Uggla. We need an outfielder way worse. You know Bobby will start Chipper. No way he sits on the bench and as pretty as Dan’s eyes are he doesn’t always field the ball very well. And, well you’re still my favorite…letters or no letters.
October 9th, 2009 at 1:43 pm
., not to bring reality into it, but where does Chipper go? Because both he and the team have said he’s not moving to 1st (nor does it make sense – he’d be brutal there). So, in the Uggla fantasy, either Prado or Chipper are on the bench?
October 9th, 2009 at 1:53 pm
Steve, first you say “not to bring reality into it,” and then you say something that does do that. Why do you want to hurt me?
(Prado to bench until Chipper is hurt or batting below .240, then Prado to 3rd.
In other words, Prado plays 3rd 100 games or more)
Bobby won’t have anything to do with it. In Bubworld, Bobby will have been declared mentally unfit by Frank Wren in a scandalous news conference revealing Bobby’s secret 5 year french kissing relationship with the Gatorade cooler.)
October 9th, 2009 at 7:32 pm
I weirded everybody out again?
October 9th, 2009 at 7:59 pm
Not me. I’m just busy enjoying one last day at the beach. Love the mental image of BC kissing the gatorade cooler.

What the hell is Jeff Francoeur about to do with this ball?

( that ^ isn’t anything dirty. I just mean… his approach… what could it mean?)
Alright, beer run.
October 9th, 2009 at 11:38 pm
Bub – seriously, what is your obsession with Uggla? Are you messing with us or what?
October 9th, 2009 at 11:38 pm
Mark my words, Pedro gets shelled on Saturday.
October 10th, 2009 at 12:35 am
Steve, I just like Uggla. I like known commodities. Like Adam Dunn would have been this year.
But I have no idea if he’s the best option for the Braves. I think Atlanta is in a position of need, but also in a position of strength (trading pitching), so mostly I’m just being goofy, trusting Wren to get somebody good. There will be a bunch of stuff on his table, and I expect him to pick the best bat he can get for the most reasonable cost.
October 10th, 2009 at 12:39 am
Ugh. Tex won it for the Yanks. That is just nightmare.
I can. not. freaking. stand. the. yankees.
If they start winning championships with that payroll of theirs, I’m going to quit watching the sport. Seriously.

Phillies @ Rockies “snowed out” Weather bummer for the boys of Summer!
