Quentin is up for arbitration next year, so it's not exactly a rental. If anything, Quentin would probably be replacing McLouth in the lineup. He played left field for the Sox in 08 and 09.

And again, they gave up NOTHING for him. Those two guys are absolutely horrible.

Bourn plays CF. I'd rather not move forward with Fukudome in CF every day. I value Bourn's speed at the lead off position, as well.

Prado is our LF. Mclouth is currently playing CF, for the injured Schafer. If they get Quentin, they plan on moving Heyward down.

But Fukudome is a huge upgrade over McLouth and speed isn't that important, as long as the guy leading off gets on base. It's irrelevant, the Braves should just try to acquire Bourjos.

True...but I just want to end the search for a long term CF already, dammit. haha. And Bourn is absolutely perfect for the Braves. They've been looking for a Furcal lead off type since he left...it'd be great to have him

Bourjos would be a good addition. Although he's been slow to replicate any of his minor league numbers. I wish he was more selective.

Bourjos is as good as Andruw Jones defensively, that is all that matters.

M.O.T.H. · 07-28-2011, 01:19 PM

Sorry Brody, but I just dont value defense like you do. Schafer is a gold glover caliber fielder as well. I could care less.

The Braves pitching is an exceptional defense in itself...we need bats.

ElectricEye · 07-28-2011, 01:19 PM

Hochevar is so terrible.

Xiomera · 07-28-2011, 01:19 PM

Leyland ejected again ... sigh

This was so ******* unnecessary. He argued Ajax was hit by a pitch ... in the 3rd inning ... go **** yourself, Jim.

Gardner is exactly what you need. But you're gonna have to give me your pitching staff to get him :)

Because he was hit by a pitch...

I'm aware, but the umps can't and won't overrule something like that.

It wasn't that obvious even on reply.

Pick your battles, Jim. It's the 3rd ******* inning.

I'm fine with him getting ejected.

ElectricEye · 07-28-2011, 01:37 PM

God damn it. Butler isn't supposed to have nay power. Took a Josh Beckett fastball for a ride out to the deepest part of center with two on :/

Brodeur · 07-28-2011, 01:40 PM

I'm just throwing this out there, but I don't think Moustakas is ready.

Yea well if he doesn't get his head in the game hes gonna give up more.

Mets are well on their way to a 4 game sweep of the Reds!!

Well, there's no reason to believe Lloyd McClendon isn't a better manager.

Imagine how much better life would be if we were in the Central.

Of course as soon I typed that it goes from 9-3 to 9-7.

Hideki Irabu found dead in his LA home. Possible suicide.

RaiderNation · 07-28-2011, 02:47 PM

Can't wait to see what Beltran will do tonight.

Brodeur · 07-28-2011, 02:48 PM

David Purcey is the worst reliever in baseball.

Xiomera · 07-28-2011, 02:50 PM

Just a guess, but I bet David Purcey gets some death threats this week:

Don Vito · 07-28-2011, 03:23 PM

A single for Trumbo would be pretty awesome for my fantasy squad. Come on cycle!
