Pastornicky might not have the best glove and his arm is pretty weak but he'll always hustle no matter what. I'm actually looking forward to seeing him play even though I think it's a year too early.


Oh frick. Not a " non-stop motor guy"


Non-stop motor = shitty, but gives it his all

I think we would just be better off seeing what kind of approach this new batting coach (cant remember his name) is taking towards correcting Heywards problems. Would I like to see a sure fire LF come back to the Braves in exchange for Prado and JJ, absolutely. But, if the asking price is really that high for someone like Jones, then I just can't see a deal being made.

Here's what I'm doing if I'm the Braves....

Trading Jurrjens for a package centered around a top minor league CF that will be ready to take over a year from now after Bourn is gone.

Hopefully Chipper retires.

Move Prado to 3B in 2013 for his final arbitration year, let your top CF prospect take over, and use the pretty big amount of money we will have to spend on a LF next year to address that need.

Then let Prado walk after his arbitration years are over and give the 3B job to Terd or Salcedo.

Stay young, fairly cheap, but with the veterans and power to remain competitive throughout the decade.

PROFIT

Everytime this thread gets bumped, I'm hoping it's because of news I missed.

Alas, a lot of disappointment.

I don't think Dan is a believer either.


Yeah, not really.

I mean, I like HIM, I'm just not enamored with his skill set for a LF. No real pop or speed. Doesn't draw walks. In the past he was a decent hitter for average, so I'll hold out hope he gets back to that.

I think a trade of Jones/Guthrie/Andino OR Johnson for Jurrjens/Prado/Minor/Vizcaino/Salcedo makes both teams happy

That site's posters are the best. I have been reading it twice a day since these rumors started. Hours of entertainment.
