From AJC.com's comments section:



at those projections and @ "Gold Glove defense"

If that happens that is the greatest power lineup I've ever seen.

This guy is obsessed with Evan Gattis, and possibly retarded.

Brett Lawrie started out as a catcher in the minor leagues, and now he's the best defensive 3B in baseball according to UZR. I'm sure Gattis could follow a similar path to success.

This reminds me of a text poll during a Reds game a couple of years ago:

What is the best way for a lead off hitter to start an inning?

A. Walk
B. Single
C. Double
D. Home Run

Reds veteran analyst Chris Welsh went nuts. I'll paraphrase: "Who came up with this question? Whoever it was, fire him. I mean, how stupid is this? If you answer anything other than D, please turn off the game and watch something else."

Home runs are rally killers.

A better question would be:

What do you prefer your 2-hole hitter do in the first inning?
A. Base Hit
B. Walk
C. Sacrifice Bunt

Didn't Biggio start out at catcher? He was a pretty good second baseman ...

Span, now batting .136
LaRoche batting .067


FYI, Morse is batting .308 with three homers.

Referring to Roy Halladay whose fastball was sitting at 87 mph today in limited action:

Obst
: He looked decent in the first inning

After him seeing Jamie Moyer pitch for a couple years, I completely understand this.

@kilogrey
@ScottMCBS in person uggla looks very thin. Claiming diet, but appears to have lost muscle mass. Possible due to hgh testing

@kilogrey
@ajcbraves bleacher report suggesting gattis sent down to learn 2nd. Seems unreasonable. You agree?

@kilogrey
@mlbbowman @ajcbraves @Ken_Rosenthal Best b-day pres 4 braves fan ever when I saw sam holbrook 20 feet away. Led the crowd in heckling #fun

@kilogrey
@kilogrey @Ken_Rosenthal @ajcbraves and an .857 slugging percentage for the spring Mr Rosenthal.

@kilogrey
@Ken_Rosenthal feature article?"@ajcbraves Gattis 2-for-2 with 2 doubles, 3 RBIs today, hitting .464 w/ 5 doubles, 2 HR, 10 RBIs in 28 abs"

@kilogrey
@KevinMcAlpin since strasburg clearly can't handle our lineup multiple times in a game, think nats move him to the bp.. less pressure :-) ?

@kilogrey
@ajcbraves they should make strasburg a reliever. Obviously can'tg handle the pressure of seeing linup multiple times. :-)

@kilogrey
@KevinMcAlpin Could braves trade Gattis to an american league club for a top of the rotation starter (or top of the rotation prospect)?

Is that funny if you're a Braves fan?

It's not funny so much as terribly stupid.
