Anyone have creative ways of sneaking it in?
25 commentsUggla extension close, 5 years/60+mil
12 mil/year doesn't seem too bad.
Nats sign Werth for some reason
They might want to address the pitching first. Was hoping Werth would go to the AL.
Vazquez to Marlins
Damn, was hoping we would make this move. It's only a 1-year deal too.
Brian Wilson is hilarious
Definitely pulling for SF now.

The Phillies "Big 3"

Yeah, so I am drunk again. And the standard disclaimer stands: Feel free to delete this post if too retarded.
I would so like to cram it up the a** of the Big 3 who have aligned against us; they have been awesome for about a month (Halladay excepted). They will come back to Earth very soon. The Braves always play to their level of competition, I feel better vs Hamels than vs Livan. This could be an asset in the postseason.
Worst comes to worst: Look at our farm system and take comfort.

Picking up from an earlier post
Derek (Alabama)
what kind of chance do you think the braves have at the world series
Joe Morgan
(11:18 AM)The key is to get into the playoffs. If you can do that, anyone can win. All you have to do is get hot for a couple of weeks. You see teams doing that all the time. Anybody that gets into the playoffs can win the championship. It's a short season from that point on.

Could I be better than Pujols...
... at pitching? He's only played corner infielder throughout his career, and is not noted for having a "cannon" at first (not that anyone is). In summation, I just want to say I'm better than Pujols at something in baseball.

It cut out after ten minutes and now someone is interviewing David Wright.
Mods: delete this if you want, I've just been waiting for this show all week and it pisses me off.

Has anyone here ever stood in the box against Major League pitching? Didn't want to make a whole FanPost, just curious. I maintain that I would be able to at least foul-tip the ball but nobody else agrees with me. I was average in High School.
Jurrjens is fine, now everyone shut up
MRI came back clean on JAIR JURRJENS this morning, and Braves think he'll be back throwing real soon. Big sigh of relief in Braves Nation.
Braves Sign Mitch Jones
Insert picture of tiny bat here. I'd rather have Mike Jones.
Gonzo back to Pirates?
Is this a joke? I mean, seriously, they want to get into a bidding war against the Yankees and lose draft picks to boot?
I didn't need to know this
Alex Rodriguez is rumored to have portraits of himself as a mythic creature called a centaur in his home.
Braves offseason outlook at MLBTR
Nothing new, just a nice summary.
FJM reunion at Deadspin
I only linked to Ken Tremendous's articles, but you can search for Dak or Junior also. The haven't missed a beat.
Did we make a BIG mistake trading Francoeur?
Amazin Avenue wonders if Frenchy has figured it out.
Netali Feliz called up
Looks like they'll use him in the bullpen.

Hat tip to MLBTR. No fanposts for this yet? I googled him and couldn't find much. Would appreciate any info.
Here's the best article I was able to find, he seems like a very disciplined hitter with a high OBP and some power.

I don't think we'll do it, but FW should sign him now, for cheap. He is a low-risk, high-reward pitcher that can be had for pennies on the dollar. If were gambling on Andruw, we can take a shot on Sheets. This would have the additional bonus of denying the Mets/Phils his services. I guess he could bump Campillo, who may have some trade value now. We're actually pretty stacked in near-mlb-quality pitchers.
Here it comes *gets out the vaseline*
Lowe
Vazquez
Sheets
Jurrjens
Kawakami
Chipper trade options

I'd love to move him for another young pitcher to bring up alongside Hanson. So who needs a 3B or DH right now? Who has the young pitching?
The Angels lost their big bat in Teixeira, and they have a bevy of young pitching. Chipper and Guerrero would be a nice 1-2.
The Yankees have Matsui DH-ing, Chipper would be a major upgrade. Can you imagine that lineup with Chipper-ARod-Tex? Maybe we could pry Hughes away.
The Tigers could use Chip over Inge at 3rd or Sheff at DH. I don't know much about their minor league system.
The Red Sox could use Chip at 3rd and move Youk back to 1st and deal Lowell. I still like Buchhloz a lot.
Oakland could be a destination. Even though they signed Giambi, Chip would be a major upgrade over Chavez at 3rd. And Beane has a hard-on for OBP.

Does Maddux deserve to be in the HOF?

Now that I have your attention, let's talk Johnson. Randy Johnson.
Remember in the postseason when he pitched relief for Seattle a day after he started and struck out like six in a row? Remember when he killed that bird in spring training? He was 20-4 with a 2.28 ERA one year, and I have every reason to expect he will repeat--or exceed--that performance in '09. And he is a sex symbol for all the ladies. Get it done, Wren.
Eric O'Flaherty

on Talking Chop
The first big move of the offseason:
"According to Larry LaRue of The Tacoma News Tribune, the Braves claimed southpaw reliever Eric O'Flaherty off waivers from the Mariners today. O'Flaherty, 24 in February, was terrible in seven appearances with the Ms this year and struggled with walks and hits allowed in Triple A. In 2007, though, he held lefties to a .183/.278/.204 line.
I sure hope we use him as a LOOGY, and this isn't an Ohman replacement. Here are his numbers (if the formatting holds). Not pretty, I sepecially don't like the walks.
From scout.com:
"O’Flaherty has a fastball in the mid-90s, a tough slider and is developing a change.
| Last 3 years | Team | G | GS | W | L | SV | CG | SHO | IP | H | R | ER | HR | BB | K | ERA | WHIP | BAA | |
