Abreu winning the gold glove in 05 was a joke. He is not a very good defender in the outfield. He doesn't have great power anymore either. Only 5 XBHs so far this season (0 HRs). Abreu would have helped the Braves but not a lot.Abreau has the power, gold glove outfield, high BA, high slugging/on base, etc. I honestly thought that would be the guy they would go after, but never showed any interest.
The next few series are going to very humbling for the Braves. They'll find out very fast that they're the 4th best team in the NL East, if they don't already know it. The Marlins and Phillies will own this team they way they're hitting right now.
Realistically what are your opinions on what the braves should do to improve? Should they go ahead and bring up Heyward and Freeman from the minors (They could give us production from LF and 1B) or do they let them continue to develop? My opinion is let them develop along with Hanson. I don't think they have the tools to win the division this year much less a World Series so I am looking towards the future. But what are your opinions on this?
So what's the news on when Hanson is a major leaguer?
Bandwagon?
I dont go to Sox, Yankees, or Cubs games. Their fans are beyond idiotic and I usually end up wanting to rip someones hat off. Two years ago a drunk Sox fan dumped a coke on me and said Yankees suck. I mean really?
