Please stop blaming the WBC for Soto
As you can see, many who played are doing just fine. The WBC is not why he looks out of shape and overweight. To blame the WBC for Soto, makes no sense, just by looking at Lilly or Fukudome to begin with. Seems to me, that some are off to a good start, some are not. I cannot see how the WBC can...

Please Welcome Bird Watchers Anonymous!
I wanted to give a warm welcome to Bird Watchers Anonymous, who will be covering the Atlanta Thrashers of the NHL for SBN. I'm sure most of you will do a double take when you see The Falconer as the guy in charge, but don't worry: I'm not moonlighting for hockey. This gives us a strong presence in...
Why the Braves should sign Manny
Sound crazy? I thought so myself... But here is the problem. The Braves can't get pitching. Their best bet right now is to get Kawakami to establish a presence in Japan. Bud Derek Lowe, seriously? Lets be honest, he is a workhorse and a very good pitcher, but he won't be an ace for the next 4...
Adam Dunn
Its pretty obvious we need a POWER BAT in left field. Adam Dunn is without a shadow of a doubt the best OF on the market. A new benefit just popped up, courtesy of the stupid, stupid, STUPID Diamondbacks: they didn't offer him arbitration. So if we were to sign him, we wouldn't lose our second...
Rick Ankiel
i know a lot of us have been talking about the possibility of getting ryan ludwick from the cards, but what about getting ankiel instead? i'm pretty sure he is a FA after next year, but i just like the idea of having him in the OF much better than that of Ludwick.

Francoeur's Offseason To-Do List
1) Lose weight. That means NO Trick or Treating, NO pumpkin pie, and especially NO dinner dates with Andruw Jones... even if he offers to pay. 2) Batting practice. 3) Note to self: If for some strange reason, the Braves offer me a contract for more than one year... JUST TAKE IT! Otherwise......

Originally Written 8/8 Fatal Flaw? - Cody Johnson, OF, ATL Cody Johnson entered the 2008 season as a borderline top 100 overall prospect. A former first rounder by the Atlanta Braves, Johnson's 2007 line of .305/.374/.630 had the organization excited about a potential breakout at Rome in his...
