Or perhaps the Braves actually have a history of hyping up prospects that they know aren't going to turn into much so that they can trade them for way above their real value. Maybe?

Could be. But people keep trading for them. Or they did.

Well, I'd say an average all around shortstop for a guy who had been consistently ranked in the top 10 of all prospects in baseball sounds pretty unbalanced.

 

But then, I heard Marte didn't want to switch positions, so he was pretty well blocked in Atlanta.

The Braves have a LOOOOOONNNNNGGGGG history of trading away "top" prospects that never work out and fade away after 2-3 years. Seems like David Nied (sp?) was a "top" prospect and I don't even think he's playing baseball still. Or uh......I dunno.....Brooke Jacoby maybe? I really can't recall any player that the Braves traded away that obtained SUPERSTAR status AFTER the Braves traded him. Whereas there are a crapload of players that the Braves traded away that became mediocre.

As already stated, too early to tell. I'll tell ya this much, Marte wasn't really stunning too many people here.

Oh wait.....there was Brett Butler.

The Braves have played 4 more games and sucked harder in them?

doh! Haven't had the coffee yet.

 

Braves v. Sox game last night was a nail-biter. Almost 4 hrs. to finish. Bobby Cox was down-right and visibly pissed at his bullpen's continued inability to hold leads, notably for Smotlz (5th time this year, I believe, they've shat the bed on Smoltz).

Stick a fork in us. We're done. I have middling hopes for next year.

I'll always have bourbon however. It never lets me down like those poop head Braves. They just don't have the will or talent to actually win right now. Very sad. I've been watching until about the 5th-7th inning and going to sleep knowing the outcome. I haven't been wrong yet. I was almost turned into a Red Sox fan last night. Almost.

I have no artwork to show for this but in about 30 minutes I'll be listening to a Grateful Dead show from The Fox Theater in Atlanta from 1977. And I was at this show. I just found this recording over the weekend and have not heard it yet. Should be fun.

elaborate with specifics?

Good read.

I don't have a Mac and have never used/tried this.

Once again....you ARE the man Boots!

Thanks again.

I've got the originally leaked "YHF Demos". Are these different? Do I need these? Where can I get 'em?

I'm dumb this way.
