Appreciating Brian McCann, Mr. Under-appreciated
A great article on how under-appreciated Brian McCann is while also comparing him to some of the all time great catchers including Mickey Cochrane, Bill Dickey, and Yogi Berra!
September Call-Up Likely For Freeman
My question is, what are the rules on post season rosters? If they wait to call him up till after AAA season is over on September 6th, can he be put on a post season roster? ...assuming we get there.
Chipper to Retire At Seasons End
DOB has yet to confirm this but he said he has heard from two sources that Chipper will retire at seasons end.

2012 Lineup, The Future looks great!

Here is my take on our 2012 Opening day lineup. This List is based solely on our minor league Farm System not including trades. Therefore anyone of these players could be traded for perhaps a RH bat because we are so Left heavy.
Lineup
1. Schafer, Jordan (L) CF
2. Escobar, Yunel (R) SS
3. Chipper, Jones (S) 3B
4. Johnson, Cody (L) LF
5. McCann, Brian (L) C
6. Heyward, Jason (L) RF
7. Freeman, Freddie (L) 1B
8. Johnson, Kelly (L) 2B
Bench
Sammons, Clint
Prado, Martin
Hernandez, Diory
Hicks, Brandon
Hernandez, Gorkys
Jones, Brandon
Rotation
1. Hanson, Tommy (RH)
2. Jurrjens, Jair (RH)
3. Rohrbough, Cole (LH)
4. Lowe, Derek (RH)
5. Medlen, Kris (RH)
Closer: Kimbrel, Craig
With these guys ready to step in at any moment or trade bait, because obviously we can't have a 11 Man Rotation. This is also with the undetermined future of Tim Hudson, beyond his option year since they pretty much said the Braves will pick that up.
Morton, Charlie
Locke, Jeff
Redmond, Todd
Reyes, JoJo
Delgado, Randall
Parr, James
The bullpen is always up in the air but look for some of these guys to be transferred to the pen.
What do you guys think? Different rotation? Different batting order? Who will be in the bullpen? What about our powerless bench? And Yes I know I listed 6 on the bench when the Braves usually carry 5.

Braves Sign Garret Anderson

DoB is reporting the Braves have signed Garret Anderson and he is en route to Florida. This isn't just a friend telling DoB that he chooses the Braves. He actually signed. The team finalized a one-year contract worth about $2.5 million with the free agent on Sunday, according to a person familiar with negotiations. An announcement is expected to come Monday. He should arrive to camp tomorrow.
Anderson hit .293 with 15 home runs, 84 RBIs and a .325 on-base percentage last season, including 14 home runs in 433 at-bats against right-handed pitchers.
In my opinion this will not help or solve our outfield problems at all. I say we just go with the youth movement and let them battle for a spot.

Yankee's Sign A.J. Burnett

on Talking Chop
According to MLB Trade Rumors the yankees have agreed to terms with A.J. Burnett. The deal is apparently for 5 years at 16.5 Million per year. What is Frank Wrenn going to do now? Is he going to go back to Towers and be desperate and trade away some of our top prospects, or is it going to be a shocking trade out of the middle of now where?
