He was, and being a mile up doesn't really help you hit .370. He also entered Colorado when he was also entering the prime of his career, so his improvement makes sense.
That being said though, he's probably a "Hall of Very Good" type guy. |

I think Bagwell gets in for sure. Too bad it won't be in a Red Sox hat.

He was drafted by them and then traded as a prospect for a middle reliever.

I just can't see the Red Sox trading a prospect for a fuckin 36 year old middle reliever unless Bagwell was real bad or sucked in the minors. |

Sometimes teams make panic moves when they're in the playoff hunt. Remember when the Mets traded Scott Kazmir for Victor Zambrano?

Mark Reynolds is really bad at baseball defense. How in the world is he still playing 3rd

I'm pretty sure Big Vito would rather have Kasmir as the mets 3rd starter over whoever they have now.

What kind of ridiculous questions is that?
He has the second most wins in post-season history, and he's one of the only player to ever record 200 wins and 150 saves. He also totaled over 3000 strikeouts, on top of being an 8-time All-Star and a Cy-Young winner. I'm a homer, but who gives a shit. That is a HoF career. |

Some no namer. Guy was a #3 starter for most of his career then got demoted to the bullpen. Scrub central.

So according to Boomer's informtation it's right to for me to
assume that John Smoltz was at least an "ok" pitcher? |

John Smoltz was ok. Nothing major. Just ok.
When he was in his peak, Maddux, Glavine, Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez, Curt Schilling, Roger Clemens, and at least another half a dozen pitchers were better...but Smoltz was ok. |

Maybe he'll make it in on his broadcasting career one day. Probably got all that charisma from John Rocker.

Derrek Lee to the Braves? Yes please. Sending Glaus to the bench or putting him on the DL is glorious. My feeling depends on what we give up. Jordan Schafer is the only name I've seen pop up in what I've read so far, and that would be pretty good value for the Cubs. He's worked his way all the way down to AA this year from the Majors, so I don't think he is in the Braves' plans any longer anyway, but he could definitely turn into an everyday CF down the line.

DLee is a lot better than the rumor floating around last night that A-Ram could be headed to the Braves. I almost shat myself when I heard that he was potentially heading our way. Anyways, this should work out just fine. Send Glauser to the DL and let him rest and bring him back up with the rosters expand in September. Hopefully Freeman will come around next Spring and be the answer for years to come. Glad to see another Braves homer on the board though. You from Georgia?

Word. Been to 4 games this year. Headed back to the St. Louis series in September. Hope to get to see Wainwright and/or Carpenter. I'm a perfect 4-0 so I hope to keep my streak alive all the way to the World Series.

I've seen 5 or so games this year, including one in DC. The DC one was the only loss, as far as I remember. Probably going to another one in a few weeks. Its too cheap not to go.
Wainwright would just upset me. Still pretty sad the Braves gave him away. Last edited by Boomer; 08-18-2010 at 04:15 PM. |

I would love D Lee on the Braves if for nothing more than the fact that his and Jason Heyward's swings are almost mirror images of each other.
