Atlanta Braves - Braves Baseball Clubhouse - ESPN



Most exciting year to be a Braves fan in a while. The only thing I'm slightly worried about is the hype is out of control but dude looks like as close to a sure thing as there can be. Its not just that he's big and strong, can hit it a mile, can run and throw, he's got amazing plate discipline, he's had I believe at least one walk every spring training game, he just doesn't swing at bad pitches.

Lineup I would go with

1)Nate McClouth CF-not really a leadoff guy but meh, we don't really have one
2)Jason Heyward RF-maybe too far up in the lineup considering he can drive in runs but he just gets on base so much
3)Chipper Jones 3B
4)Troy Glaus 1B
5)Brian McCann C
6)Yunel Escobar SS
7)Martin Prado 2B
Matt Diaz/Melky Cabrera LF

Staff
Tommy Hanson
Jair Jurrgens
Tim Hudson
Kenshin Kawakami
Derek Lowe

Peter Moylan, Kris Medlen, Eric O'Flaherty, Jesse Chavez, Matt Dunn, Takashi Saito, Billy Wagner

I'm thinking playoffs. I know no one cares.

Hate to disagree with you but if I was the Braves this is what I'd roll out

1. McLouth
2. Escobar
3. McCann
4. Chipper
5. Heyward
6. Glaus
7. LF
8. Prado
9. P

That puts more average/OBP/speed at 1-2 and protects Heyward by placing him between some big PROVEN bats Chipper and Glaus.


My BoSox are going to put this on the field

1. Ellsbury
2. Pedroia
3. Drew
4. Martinez
5. Youkilis
6. Ortiz
7. Beltre
8. Cameron
9. Scutaro

SP
1. Beckett
2. Lester
3. Lackey
4. Matsuzaka
5. Wakefield
6/Spot Starter: Buchholz

All right so who would be interested in fantasy baseball? Honestly I don't even think I'll bother with fantasy basketball next year but fantasy baseball is the one I really want to try.

Anyway we've got time. Anyone care about the setup? I want to try head to head I think but I don't really care.

Fukk it. I'm in. Setup don't matter

At the moment, I am overload with the last miles for my thesis (especially because I have a lot to correct) but next season should do just fine for me.

keep an eye on the Baltimore Orioles. Much better pitching both starters and bullpen. The line up is also better. Matt Wieters just made the cover of S.I. They're not going to the playoffs yet, but can keep Boston and New york from getting a 100 wins.

Baltimore is going to have trouble until they get some experience for Wieters and Jones. Their pitching could be better as well.

LA has an awesome top to bottom lineup but they do have a flaw and that's ther starting pitching. Kershaw is good but still not consistent and to put it nicely, Billingsley digressed last year. Every team in the division but the Padres have a chance to win it imo, even the Dbacks. LA and Colorado definitely have the best lineups and I'd say the Giants might even be behind Arizona in that department but the pitching is far and away the best in the whole NL imo.
