Re: 2009 Atlanta Braves
Heyward and Freeman ... September, 2010. These kids could generate the kind of buzz that McCann and old friend Frenchy got.
If Jason Heyward isn't Baseball America's top prospect next year, I'd almost be surprised (top 5 max). And like Hanson, Freeman just burst onto the scene after missing everyone's top 100. Here's to hoping that Schafer is your everyday CFer next September and these kids help fuel another run.Comment

Re: 2009 Atlanta Braves
They pushed him back one day. I think they didn't want him to feel the pressure against one of their better pitchers. The Marlins starter has been awful since coming off the DL.Comment

Re: 2009 Atlanta Braves
I've never seen Chipper like this. If he's feeling fatigued, why doesn't he accept a DL assignment or something? 15 days off would most likely solve the issue rather than see him floundering in the 3-hole.
If he was even hitting his normal .315-.325 we would probably be leading the wild-card. I'm curious as to how close to Philly we'd be if he was as good as last year...Originally posted by Gibson88Anyone who asked for an ETA is not being Master of their Domain.
It's hard though...especially when I got my neighbor playing their franchise across the street...maybe I will occupy myself with Glamore Magazine.Comment

Re: 2009 Atlanta Braves
Braves fans...based on your knowledge of Tim Hudson's rehab do I start him today in a H2H fantasy league...in his first start back from TJ surgery?Originally posted by Edmund BurkeAll that is needed for the triumph of evil, is for good men to do nothing.Comment

Re: 2009 Atlanta Braves
He says he is ready to go and has a good record against the Marlins. The Marlins pitcher has also been bad. It would be a toss up for me.Comment

Re: 2009 Atlanta Braves
he could light up the last two weeks of september! he's always been my hero, aside from sharing my surname, which was one of the reasons for supporting the braves when i started in '96 (andruw was also there!), but even he said his performance in unacceptable. he's only 19 games off playing the most he has since '03, and he's now 6 years older. i think a break would do him good.Currently playing MLB 23

Re: 2009 Atlanta Braves
Hopefully Peter Gammons was correct last week whenever he said that in his opinion the Braves are going to end up with the wildcard. He added that Hudson will provide a spark to the club and their morale and the September callup of some young guys will energize this club. So far, so good. Nice win last night.Comment

Re: 2009 Atlanta Braves
So the Braves stand at 70-62 with 30 games to play. I think they need 90 wins to get into the playoffs, which means taking 2 of 3 down the stretch. That's a tall order and it will be interesting to see if they can get in."People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do.

Re: 2009 Atlanta Braves
Nope...I love him. He is such a bulldog on the mound and after he got over the initial rough patch, he's been solid coming out of the pen.
Our pitching is so much better now than it's been in years...it's a shame our offense blows. I wish I could take this year's pitching and match it up with our 2006/2007 offense."People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do.
