Derek Lee:
The Braves made a huge pickup today acquiring Derek Lee from the Cubs for a Sams club box of sunflower seeds, a get out of jail free card and a couple tangerines. Not only is this a HUGE upgrade defensively but should provide a jump start to an offense who has been mediocre to say the least. If Prado can return to form and Lee can produce like the Derek Lee of old this Braves team is built to make a post season run. I have been BEGGING Frank Wren to get us a power bat since it was the one thing that seemed as if it might hold us back. The addition of Lee gives us a legit power bat who has post season experience (2003 Marlins, Cubs).
Frank Wren Report Card:
Kenshin Kawakami: F (hoooooooooo ahhhhkawakami herrreee ohhhhhhhh)
Derek Lowe: C- (innings chewer but overall not even worth close to 15 mill a year)
Chipper Jones Extension: C (the dudes falling apart. I get it but at this point a C at best)
Nate McLouth: D (only bc we gave up nothing for him)
Ankiel/Farnsworth: D- (not an F solely bc Farnsworth scares me. I liked Greg White)
GPA: 1.3
Troy Glaus Groin Kicks:
I challenge anyone out there who would like to defend Troy Glaus please stand up now or forever have less bars on your cell phone. Seriously, making fun on this guy is getting boring. No, no its not actually. Its a lot of fun bc hes terrible! It is not all his fault though. Name another pro player who swings a bat that weighs as much as most house cats? You cant! Watching the guy run to first to try and leg out a double play ball is almost as painful as watching reruns of Full House. Hey Troy, MegaTron called and whats his bat back. The Greeks used Troys' bat to build the horse and STILL had some fire wood left over.
