Maybe somebody can help me like the idea. What’s the argument for him sound like?
January 14th, 2010 at 9:15 pm
Ask Steve…….
not interested in him either
January 14th, 2010 at 9:30 pm
Curt and I are in agreement. Well, it’s been a nice world. Hate to see it end.
January 14th, 2010 at 9:34 pm
Bub, Don’t jump! Not yet, anyhow. Things will feel better in the Spring..uh, no pun intended.
January 14th, 2010 at 9:37 pm
Bring on the Damon! Bring on somebody…anybody! Did you guys see that Tommy Glavin may consider thinking about forgiving wren etc and working with the Braves in some capacity? Ya know…if he retires. Cause he’s not ready to say that. But don’t get excited, he says all is not forgiven. I’m sorry but when did the men of baseball become such babies?
January 14th, 2010 at 9:44 pm
I’d love to see Glavine as part of the organization, and yes it would take some “manning up” on both sides.
January 14th, 2010 at 9:45 pm
Heh, not jumping, Tcc. I think my clever remark was too clever for its own good.
Wren to Glavine: Tell ya what, Tommy. If I let you throw one of your “fastballs” right at my head, will that even it up? Go ahead. Throw it now and I’ll come back tomorrow in time to dodge it.

Tommy throws….”low and outside”!!

“Don’t expect Johnny Damon to end up in Atlanta unless his asking price drops significantly. MLB.com’s Mark Bowman hears that the club isn’t likely to pursue Damon unless they can sign him for $1-2MM. One of Bowman’s sources says “it would take a miracle” for the Braves to sign the left fielder.” -MLBTR
The AJC sure does stoke a lot of cold ashes lately.
January 15th, 2010 at 2:01 pm
Bub, cold ashes is all that’s left when looking and reading like USA Today.
January 15th, 2010 at 4:56 pm
You have a point.
After reading Bowman and MLBTR and the AJC for two offseasons now, I’d have to rank the AJC 3rd on figuring out where the Braves are heading. To their credit, DOB gets a lot of nice quotes.

Interesting how both LaRoche and Lowe made inflamatory comments this season against Wren and they both look silly for it now. I’m not saying Wren isn’t lousy with player relations, cuz he obviously is. But the former Misters “guess I should have hit .400″ and “it’s just a matter of when” are now Misters “guess I shouldn’t have asked for 3/10″ and “by WHEN I meant IF,” respectively.

Clarification: I was referring to the print layout of the AJC and primarily their editorial content…not to the writers and bloggers of our beloved sports page.
January 15th, 2010 at 6:28 pm
Oh.
I knew that. 8)

O’Brien put out a blog about getting Glavine back. So much for that idea.
(damn I’m grumpy tonight. And it’s Friday.)

Good to hear about Damon. Let him drag his knuckles for someone else. We have enough weak armed OFers for now.
January 15th, 2010 at 8:33 pm
… drag his knuckles … captain caveman … Curt, you’ve really hitting your stride.
January 15th, 2010 at 10:19 pm
kind of a softball there

JJ’s comment didn’t come up on my computer until after I had posted mine. I’m convinced…it’s an ABT conspiracy. That’s my story and I’m stickin to it!
You can say conspiracy. I think we are more think two characters in Dragonheart, when something happens to me, it happens to you. I’ll be the dragon, because it sounds like cool Asian nickname and you’ll be Dennis Quaid, because, well… you know.
Steve,
Where did you read that? I thought I wrote it. Damn!
I think Damon will have the same success as a Diaz/Cabrera platoon. However if Damon is signed for $2M, it is more economic to sign him.
VOTE FOR JJ! (No Bubdylan, Jair Jurrjens… [under breath] smart ass)

Haha, I was comment number 69!

Those ESPN polls break down geographically every time. Jurrjens leads in all the Southern states and in Michigan, where the Tigers are still crying.
It doesn’t matter, though. You could put “who’s the best pitcher between Maddux, Oliver Perez, and Miss Texas?” and it’d divide up by regions.

If Chipper retires in 2010, we got a problem.
2011 3B class sucks aside from A – Ram who has a 14M player option. I know the Cubs will not let him go without a fight. And if you’re thinking, “Hey! Lets move Prado to 3B and sign an elite 2B man” well that ain’t gunna happen because the best 2B is crappy too
January 16th, 2010 at 9:21 am
Escobar to 3rd, Hernandez at SS. Or Infante at 3rd. Or Glaus at 3rd, Freeman at 1st.
January 16th, 2010 at 11:33 am
Curt,
Diory? Nah, he should never be a starter. I like Escobar to 3rd, but not now, if he can still play D at SS, he’ll stay. Glaus won’t be on our team in 2011. And Infante shouldn’t start either.
January 16th, 2010 at 11:43 am
If Chipper retires in 2010, we’ve got money to solve the problem.
