Colby Rasmus slowly moving ahead of the pack for NL ROY

Bravesin07 — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 23:42:17 -0000

He is playing everyday, his average is rapidly rising from the .220's to now at .269. He is starting to smash a ton of XBH's with a lot of doubles. Those doubles are going to become homers someday. Right now he won't be the base stealer that Sizemore is but you know what. Colby Rasmus is beginning to show why I once put a crazy comp of him to Duke Snider. It will be an interesting race for the NL rookie of the year. Who do you guys like for the award.

Tom Glavine released by the Braves

Bravesin07 — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 22:00:26 -0000

Sad to see the end of a Hall of Fame career but this move had to be done. Glavine had nothing left on his fastball and Tommy Hanson is waiting in the wings. I think Hanson might have one start left in the minors. Do you think it's Tommy Hanson's time to be called up what do you guys think?

Elvis Andrus

Bravesin07 — Sat, 23 May 2009 02:18:59 -0000

What do you guys think of his start so far this year. Do you people here think he can become an all star within the next 3 years? Andrus has cut down his K-Rate and has hit for much more power this year so far. 4 HR 4 Triples and a handfull of doubles is pretty good for someone who has 119 AB's. The only Knock is that he has walked only 6 times all year and only has 6 steals.

Is Jeff Francoeur playing his way out of the Majors

Bravesin07 — Sun, 17 May 2009 02:10:28 -0000

This guy is hitting .254 with an OBP of .274 and a slugging % of less than .380. This guy is arguable one of the worst players in baseball and shouldn't be starting for any contending team. I am a huge Braves fan and I can't wait until he is gone. I think Heyward right now would do better than him because Heyward somewhat knows the strikezone, something Francoeur doesn't. I don't care if he changed his swing because it isn't working. This guy is on pace to walk 24 times this year and since he doesn't steal bases he is worthless. I think this guy is the next Ben Grieve or Marty Cordova.

Prospect Smackdown: Daryl Jones vs. Desmond Jennings

Bravesin07 — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 15:06:09 -0000

Who do you guys wins this debate. To me, this will be a very interesting year for these two as both are in AA and are very similar. Granted Jones was better last year, many weren't sure how'd he do this year. So far, Jones is hitting .333 with a .441 OBP and a near .900 OPS. His BB/K is outstanding at 7/6 in 48 AB's. Jones also has 3 stolen bases. Desmond Jennings was injuried all of last year, but has returned this year to the electric player he was in 2007. Jennings so far this year is hitting .333 with a .594 slugging percentage and a .981 OPS. Jennings has a 4/12 BB/K ratio in 69 AB's and has stolen 6 bases. Jennings has more XBH's 10 to Jones's 4 but also has 21 more AB's. Jennings was born in october 1986 while Jones was born in late June of 1987. Jennings is 8 months older than Jones. To me, this will be a great discussion.
