Re: FA's after this season?
I just hope the Braves can retain our two big name FA in JD Drew and Jaret Wright. I think Wright owes us something for giving him another shot. Leo basically saved his career.
Also, Paul Byrd is a FA, but he has pretty much said that he will resign with ATL for below market due to him robbing us of like 8 million for last year and the first part of this season. That is pretty "stand-up-ish" for him to do something like that.
EDIT: Russ Ortiz is a FA, also.Comment

Re: FA's after this season?
Man, it looks like Atlanta's rotation could take a major hit if deals aren't worked out.
I'm pretty sure Wright will re-sign, and from what you said, that Byrd will. I'm hoping that Ortiz will be back next year, as he was a big part of the team this season. He has post-season experience, and no matter what team you're talking about, you can always use some more veteran leadership.
Now, it'll be interesting to see what JD Drew does in the offseason. I'd LOVE to have him back, as he was a consistant hitter in our lineup this year, (even if he is struggling right now in the NLDS). He brings so much to the table, and it'll be tough trying to fill his void, if he decides to bounce, in rightfield.Comment

Originally posted by dieselboyI don't know about that ranking list/. Pedro Martinez behind Richie Sexson, Troy Glaus, and Delgado?
But, wow, thats a lot of big name free-agents this year, even though I'm sure half will be re-signed.
And then he's probably going to get injured.
If Pedro's demand's aren't that high I would've moved him up, but I don't see him taking a 2 year deal with a team option for a 3rd.Comment

Re: FA's after this season?
Pedro will likely be back in Boston next season.
The Braves rotation may wind up looking like:
Mike Hampton
John Thomson
Horacio Ramirez
Paul Byrd
as for the 5th spot, Jose Capellan pitched pretty well as a starter in AAA (4-2, 2.51 ERA), earlier this spring Leo Mazzone made a comment saying he believed that Juan Cruz could be a solid major league starter, and the Braves will likely bring a couple of Pitchers to training camp. So even if the Braves lose Ortiz and Wright they still won't be to bad off.Comment
