It honestly isn't that surprising. He was going to be owed a lot of money if he had stayed. The club has been planning on bringing up Tommy Hanson since his arbitration clock has an additional year now.

I think Glavine will find somewhere to play, but I wonder if they really needed to release him. I don't know, it seems like there is no loyalty anymore

You could probably argue Glavine hasn't shown loyalty to the club in the first place, when he left town for the big money deal with the Mets a few years ago. The Braves offering him a 1 year/$1 million deal was a good gesture to begin with, since they knew in the offseason it'd be unlikely he'd be able to pitch until June or July. I believe they had to release him soon because if he made the big league roster, he'd be guaranteed that $1 million.

From the perspective of cost effectiveness, $400k worth of Tommy Hanson is likely more valuable than $1 million worth of Tom Glavine.

Solid move picking up McLouth, even if he is horribly overrated as a player. I'm still trying to figure out how the hell he won a Gold Glove, but at least he'll help that horribly weak outfield. I'm a little surprised they gave up Gorkys Hernandez for him, though...I think it's a solid deal for both teams.

The Braves have Jordan Schafer, Jason Heyward, and Brandon Jones as some of their top prospects...I don't think they will miss him too much.

They definitely were dealing from a strength...I was just surprised in the sense that they gave up a decent prospect (Baseball America had Hernandez as the 4th best prospect in their system IIRC) for Nate McLouth. That's a bit much to give up for a career .261/.339/.462 hitter, but the Braves have always been good about knowing when to dump prospects.

McClouth has been showing signs the last year + of taking his game to a new level. Not to say he'll skyrocket, but he's becoming quite a bit better than his career stats.

Jose Reyes has a torn hamstring and could be out until at least the All Star Break.

Hate to say it, but my expectations for this season just went way down. I'll be happy to just see them compete at this point. They would need to get both Reyes and Delgado back at the AS Break and go on a fucking TEAR to keep up with the Phillies and the now-improved Braves.

They've done a decent job making due with what they have right now until this Pirates series...but losing a guy like Reyes and continuing to stay competitive can only last so long.

Congrats. That's the last 300 winner we are gonna see for a long time. I was honestly wondering if Johnson would get there a couple years ago when he was constantly getting injured. As such, I kept the paper from Tom Glavine's 300th, thinking his might be the last for years to come.

Gotta say though, watching the highlights...looks like the Nats kinda got screwed. 2 outs, bases loaded, down 1 run, Dunn at the plate...they call strike 3 on a ball that looked to be below his knees, which therefore kept Johnson in line for the win.

You will probably not find a Braves fan at this point who gives two shits about Francouer staying with the Braves. I was the one with "I <3 Francouer" when he first came up, but I wouldn't mind us getting something...anything worthwhile for him.

Travis Hafner activated from the DL...to make room on the roster, the Indians sent down Fausto Carmona...

not to Triple A...

not to Double A...

hell, not even to Single A...

to the Arizona Rookie League. Christ. Obviously there is some sort of reasoning behind it, but it's still hilarious.

I was at the Reds game tonight and this guy a couple rows in front of me kept holding up these stupid signs the whole game. Then one time, he held up a sign to the crowd that says "Betcha can't hit me with a quarter." People just start pelting him with shit. Coins, bottles, whatever. It was pretty hilarious.

Ortiz getting his "eyes checked" on Monday and everyone is making a big deal out of it. Pretty sure he got his eyes checked at the beginning of the year (just like every other play in MLB) and they were fine. Really forcing it for ways to get out of this slump. Don't know what's gonna happen - it's June and the Red Sox still have a DH hitting under .200

Why don't they just make up an injury for him and put him on the DL so he can have time to fix his swing

Ortiz' career is over. Sometimes guys just lose "it"...it happens. Im pretty sure Cecil Fielder lost it at 34, 35 too. Overweight first baseman/DH, anyone?

Even if he has lost it, the Red Sox will do fine, they just swept the Tigers and are leading the East.
