Benching Kelly Johnson for Cody Ransom/Sean Burroughs, and forcing Towers hand in trading him.

umm Kelly Johnson sucks but he was never benched & burroughs def cant play 2b
Hill/Mac has contributed far more with their .160 average
we have in fact won 8 in a row since the trade

Roberts moved to second a few times when necessary.

yes but that's not benching someone that's giving them a off day, Kelly Johnson was a every day player. Didnt start 19 games all year, only 2 non-starts consecutively
plus how would benching a guy who is hitting .200 with sub par defense be considered a bad thing?

Dude used to be more of a stud than he is now...the guy was just ridiculously good in 06 and 07. I had bigger expectations. The fact that he could put up those type of numbers as a free swinger of sorts, was nothing short of amazing to me. Happy to have him back.

If he only faced lefties. I've always wanted him on the Yankees filling the role we've had Jones and Thames fill the last two years.

ha. The crazy thing in like 06, I think it was, is that he hit like .360 against righties with a .400+ OBP. I jumped on that bandwagon real quick. lol.

He'll return to form in Atlanta. That's just how it works. Just ask Adam Laroche.

Wouldn't surprise me. Players usually excel when they leave Pittsburgh.

The Royals piss me off.
Alex Gordon's defense is superb. And Johnny "I'm 5-foot-nothing" Giavotalla is a player I'm gonna despise for years to come, I'm sure.

Outside of Schmidt and Aramis Ramirez, I can't really think of anyone else honestly.

Laroche put up All-Star caliber numbers in half a season in returning to Atlanta, if that counts. :D

At least we didn't rush the best high school pitcher to the majors after only 1 year of professional ball.
