No Coffee for Braves GM

Hey, anyone see a Frank around here, Frank Wren...the guys at Liberty Media Group have sent someone down to talk to him. They're a bit concerned over recent developments.

Comments

isn't that Jack Lemon playing the part of Jim Hendry, after he didn't close the Furcal deal in 2005-6? Switched from coffee to donuts after that meeting.

Yeah I read that this morning too. I like how he says they just picked Adolf Hitler because it was a name they knew no one else would have, and how he tried to argue there was nothing more meaningful than that. Yet his other child's middle name is "Aryan Nation." LOL, yeah we almost buy it buddy.

we enjoy very unique freedoms most of the world don't get a chance to enjoy. it's a shame that some people use it for stuff like that, but whatever...nice to be somewhere you can (aside from the head-trip their kids are going to have adjusting to society at large thanks to their selfish parents putting their cause before their kid).

Rosenthal has updated his post but the link Rob has at the top is the same. Furcal's deal is three years and $33 million. $7.5M, $9.5M, $13M, then year 4 option at $13M with a $3M buyout. In essence, Coletti taking the sum of the two Furcal contracts 3/39, 3/33 gave Furcal 6/72 or 7/82. Wasn't Hendry's package to Furcal 5/50? Ned longs for the days when a 3/44 deal was sweet.

and Furcal threw in all the medical reports on his bad back as well as taking off the 2008 season as a freebie on his end to get this deal done...how generous can one get?

The dodgers are gonna be regretting this deal starting with the first time furcal goes to the DL this season and succeeding seasons thereafter.

GM's have been black listing Boras for years. Much like Boras and other big agents violate the CBA by leveraging players against teams, there's going to be no way to prove that the Braves didn't sign a player because of his representation. The 'We just weren't interested' defense is too easy.

Braves Pitcher Peter Moylan is represented by Tellem's Wasserman group...I wonder if he gets traded in the near term...and I'd expect that to lead to a grievance and more ugliness. Should be interesting.

    steele MRI on friday.  counsell expects an IL stint.

    no current plans for his rotation replacement.

    I would say also in the bright side column is Busch looked pretty good overall at the plate. Alzolay…man, that hurts but most of the time he’s not giving up a homer to that guy. To me the worst was almonte hanging that pitch to Garcia. He hung another one to the next hitter too and got away with it on an 0-1.

    amaya blocked like 6-8 of smyly's pitches in the dirt very cleanly...not even an exaggeration, smyly threw a ton of pitches bouncing in tonight.

    neris looking like his old self was a relief (no pun), too.

    In looking for bright spots the defense was outstanding tonight. The “stars” are going to need to shine quite a bit brighter than they did tonight offensively though for this to be a successful season.

    Good baseball game. Hopefully Steele is pitching again in April (but I’m not counting on it). 

  • crunch (view)

    boo.

    smyly to face the 2/3/4 hitters with a man on 2nd in extras.

    this doesn't seem like a 8 million dollar managerial decision.

  • crunch (view)

    i 100% agree with you, but i dunno how jed wants to run things.  the default is delay.  i would choose brown.

    like hellfrozeover says, could be smyly since he's technically fresh and stretched.

    anyway, on a pure talent basis....brown is the best option.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Use pitchers when you believe they're good. Don't plan their clock.

    I'm sorry. I'm simply anti-clock/contract management. Play guys when they show real MLB potential talent.

    If Brown hadn't been hurt with the Lat Strain he would've gotten the call, and not Wick.

    Give him a chance. 

    But Wesneski probably gets it

    alzolay...bro...
