a Braves fan can only hope it’s Fredi’s final year in Atlanta.

I’ll give him a shot at showing his coaching acumen now that we’re focused on manufacturing runs, not just swinging for the fences. Kinda hard to make a managerial impact when the starting whole lineup is K prone.
Joey Baker
It’s the responsibility of the manager to change that philosophy which he failed to do. Some of that responsibility fell on the hitting coach as well, thus reason they’re not still with us.
Brixton G.
You put Dustin Mcgowan and Cesar Jimenez on the roster before Andy Oliver. Of course he wouldn’t want to stay, he probably felt unlikely to get an opportunity.

It’s pretty bold to come out and say a guy’s decision was foolish too, particularly when the guy’s decision is based on the moves you made. Not a fan of this comment from RAJ.
Bill 21
Par for the course for Ruben. He’s made unnecessary comments about Howard, Ruf, and Biddle Just this year, and that’s off the top of my head..

He finds it difficult to understand that a guy didn’t seem to thrilled by the opportunity of staying in the worst-run organization in baseball.

If I’m him, I couldn’t run from philly fast enough

I feel the same way about Utley. Hamels and Papelbon have already alluded to wanting to win, Rollins is gone, and Utley still wants to stay in Philly. I think it’s a waste of one of the most underrated players in the game over the last decade or so for Utley to not be playing for a team with playoff aspirations while he can still contribute as very good 2B. If he loves Philly that much, he should leave them a nice package of prospects.

I find it very ironic that Amaro throws around the word foolish

That homer by Stanton was the first homer given up by Dillon Gee to the Marlins since August 29, 2011. I was actually at that game.
iku247
Stuff like that is cool. I was at the game when Rickey Henderson broke Lou Brock’s stolen base record.
Brixton G.
Its crazy to think that Stanton has a chance at 200 HR before he turns 26 (if he hits 45 this year), its crazy to think about his total career number when its all said and done if he can stay healthy for the most part of his 13 year deal.
paqza
It’s not really a 13-year deal. He’s got an opt-out he’ll almost definitely use if things are going well.
Brixton G.
its still a 13 year deal.. he has 13 guaranteed years.

How about Ryan Howard and $50 M for either Napoli or Craig and an A Prospect?
Craig can play 1B and corner OF. Nap is a FA after this season. I’m thinking a trade for all players concerned might rejuvenate them a bit.
CT
Are you saying a single-a level prospect or an A grade prospect? Even with that much money going with Howard, you’re not getting an A grade prospect in return.
madmc44
Single A. If Howard can put up the power numbers he had last season and could platoon with whomever of the two RH bats that aren’t part of the trade–it might be good for both teams. We could also expand the trade to include Hamels and some Sox prospects.
paqza
The Sox already have a much better version of Howard in Ortiz.
Kevin D.
Not pleased by the comment by Ruben (again). I preach that guys like Papelbon should keep their mouth shut and do their job. Same goes for Amaro. Other players hear what’s going on and they don’t want to come play for this team while he’s running it. Thanks RAJ.
