June 17, 200917 yr Author As HB20 said, Braves need another bat in the outfield, and IMO, as much as they need to trade Francouer they need to get rid of Garrett Anderson. He is old and fragile, and at least Francouer can play great defense in RF. Not a good sign at all.
June 17, 200917 yr Author If the Braves plan on doing anything this year they better get that big bat SOON. They are in no place to wait till the July 31st deadline.
June 17, 200917 yr If the Braves plan on doing anything this year they better get that big bat SOON. Who are they going to get? Didn't Kotchman come back today?
June 17, 200917 yr Went to the game today when it started after the 2nd rain delay. Decided to go to the game around 10. Got to the game, parked on the street (5 min walk), took our own food & Drink in and got a ticket from some people leaving the game. Had great seats & watched the game for free while eating the food we brought with us. Great night, although my butt was kinda wet. That's what I get for not wiping the seat off first. :lol:
June 17, 200917 yr Author Who are they going to get? Didn't Kotchman come back today? I say they will try and get Holliday, Derosa, maybe Lind or Rios...Definitely outfield help, but I believe they'll trade Kelly Johnson, and Vazquez. I'm still not sold they'll trade Francouer simply because of his low trade value and his high defensive skill. And yeah Kotchman came back today.
June 17, 200917 yr Who are they going to get? Didn't Kotchman come back today? Kotchman isn't what I'd call a "big bat". He doesn't have a lot of power. They need to find a good left/right fielder. I could live with Francouer OR Garret Anderson, but one of them needs to go. Jeremy Hermida would be nice from Florida. Or Adam Dunn from Washington. They need someone that can produce in LF or RF though. Kelly Johnson needs to snap out of it too.

I'm still not sold they'll trade Francouer simply because of his low trade value and his high defensive skill. And yeah Kotchman came back today. If they trade KJ, you think Prado will take over at 2nd? If they trade Vazques they better hope Hudson can come back relatively soon and be decent.
June 17, 200917 yr Author If they trade KJ, you think Prado will take over at 2nd? If they trade Vazques they better hope Hudson can come back relatively soon and be decent. I believe Prado and Infante would man 2nd base...and that would be perfectly fine with me..Both, IMO, are better than Johnson has turned out to be..
June 17, 200917 yr I went to the game but left during the long delay. The highlight of the night was the two guys who decided to hit the field during the rain delay to do supermans on the tarp. Of course the second one ended up planted face first in the outfield grass when Cincinnati's finest got to him but it was entertaining.
June 17, 200917 yr Homer with another very strong start today. Bailey threw eight shutout innings for Louisville in today's 6-2 win over Norfolk. Seven hits, one walk, seven strikeouts. He 7-5 with 2.83 ERA. http://news.cincinnati.com/apps/pbcs.dll/section?category=blog07&plckController=Blog&plckScript=blogScript&plckElementId=blogDest&plckBlogPage=BlogViewPost&plckPostId=Blog%3ae57bcc87-152a-4f72-96fb-cc08b1f396efPost%3a7ac88d3e-8758-40c2-a8e6-e256c81fe426&sid=sitelife.cincinnati.com

June 17, 200917 yr Votto going out on Rehab tonight....They expect to have him back by the 30th at the latest
June 17, 200917 yr Votto going out on Rehab tonight....They expect to have him back by the 30th at the latest Good news. Hopefully he has recovered fully. It would be nice if the Reds could get a win tonight and even more nice if Votto could get back a lot sooner than the 30th.
