We also have more hitting talent than people will give us credit for. We don't have any top stars, but some pretty damn good bats that could play everyday in the majors at some point.

I agree. Simmons is the real deal and Bethancourt should be talented, but I worry about him pushing out BMac. Do you think he moves to 1B eventually and pushed Freddie to LF?

Meanwhile, #Braves 2B Dan Uggla, who already had Popeye arms, has even larger guns now after adding about 20 lbs through heavier lifting.


Yay, even less range.

Don't be negative OBUDan. He'll be alright. I thought he did a pretty good job defensively last year. I think if he can maintain that we'll be alright.

That's all he knows. That'd be like telling Shawn Kemp to practice safe sex.

Uggla =

So I guess we need to potentially bet on having The Uggla Smash for only 112 games?

I appreciate his efforts, but his -9 DRS... 20 pounds ago, don't leave me encouraged.

Sorry Huddy, we're doing you no favors.

I do not believe Freddie will ever play outfield.

I really don't either. I think Bethancourt is trade bait ultimately. No way we let BMac go unless he declines very rapidly.

It's a weird situation.

Bethancourt has to prove he can actually take a walk before I would even want him to play for the Braves.

Why?

Your favorite player never takes walks and that doesn't seem to bother you any, and he plays an offensive-oriented position.

Compelling points.

You almost swayed me.
