Johnny Bench…..

I have to laugh.

Similar to McCann in that Bench and Piazza both were All Stars in their 1st five five seasons. Muttonheads.

But McCann is quality obviously…

Both are sub par defensively But neither are players around which a good team can be constructed. Here’s to hoping the Braves continue to buy into their myths.

This reads like the whole matter is finished. “Both indicated that they are happy that they remained with the Braves.” The reality is both of them may still be traded – at any time – unless they have been told otherwise by Wren. That would be some inside reporting.
Enjoy your naps JJ and put the phone on silent mode.

We would have undersold, no matter what we got for him. He’s not going to be worth any more to another team besides ATL as long as we have Chipper at 3B struggling to get in 125 games per year. However, there’s not too many more spots we can upgrade in offense, so when Prado doesn’t hit average for his position (more power than OBP), that’s alright as long as he’s getting on-base. Last year, he wasn’t even doing that. Now, I think that was a fluke, but who’s to say that 2010 wasn’t his ceiling? That’s the chance you take with young players. I think he’ll do great, having a season of experience in the OF, some time to rest and relax, and being able to fully learn 1 position and hopefully in a set place in the batting order. ATL front office was just gauging the market by seeing if teams were interested. If they wanted to move him, he’d be gone.
