Braves outfield is just hot garbage. Just a lot of unproven hype. I do think Heyward will be 'aight though.

Ricky Romero ala the Jays 5th starter did not pitch in the game.

Yeah I'd want Braves' OF too.

I was unclear in my post though. I meant I'd take the Rangers infield or Nats pitching over Braves OF or Jays pitching.

Nats pitching is like the greatest thing ever atm.

No clue on Hamilton. With Choo there, he's blocked in CF. Hamilton plays SS too though. Is it Zack Cozart there?

Ricky Romero is their 3B. Stop getting that WRONG.

**Brye** · 02-23-2013, 05:21 PM

I believe they still have Cozart. Looking at their depth chart, Reds have a pretty nice looking lineup.

**MrMister** · 02-23-2013, 05:23 PM

Yeah Reds are gonna fuck some people up. I guess it all depends on what Cozart does and what Hamilton does in the minor leagues then?

**LadyCroft** · 02-23-2013, 05:24 PM

Yeah Cozart is at short and he had a good first year last year so who knows. Perhaps Hamilton will be brought up if the Reds have an injury to any of the outfielders or middle infield. Not sure if he has ever played second or third though. I'm looking forward to seeing him in the lineup though

I would like the congratulate the Giants on their eighth win in a row, a somewhat unimportant victory against the Los Angeles AAAngels today. I would also like to congratulate the Chicago White Sox on their ultimately meaningless but nevertheless utterly satisfying ass-whooping of the LA Dodgers today. 9-0! Two RBI doubles off Kershaw in his two innings!

**MrMister** · 02-23-2013, 05:33 PM

There's also that super 2 bit where you get extra arbitration years if you wait to promote them. Not sure what Hamilton's super 2 clock is though or if he's worth it or what etc.

**DesolationRow** · 02-23-2013, 05:38 PM

My above commentary notwithstanding, it's insanity that "Strasburg gives up two runs in spring debut" is currently one of the headlines going around on MLB-related websites. Poor kid.

Can't wait for some in the sports media to begin suggesting, "He should have been shut down earlier!"

potential is amazing though. That outfield is gonna cover so much ground

Upton - Upton - Heyward have yet to prove themselves as a OMGZ outfield. Not impressed.

I'm going to be the last guy to hop on the Braves bandwagon so when they disappoint I can be here laughing.

Pretty much every year each one of them have done worse than people expected them to do apart from Heyward's rookie year. Ya that's going to change immediately.
