dunn and burrel??? and where are burnett coming from? ot is this the yanks you are talking about
because i dont see the braves ater sheets or burnett really. maybe but I dont know if they will take another changce on players that get hurt
oh it was someone else lol
I dont wnt dunn OR burrell
send me andruw with 16 mil in cash and its a deal... Ill send the papers over now :p
I want lowe, peavy, griffey, and unfortunatly it looks like w emay need to go after furcal since they will trade escobar
You're better off with Dunn or Burrell than Griffey, defensively none of them are too good, and griffey is by far the biggest injury riskQuote:

If the quote of 40m to play with accurate you have to consdier Smoltz is about 10 of that, reserve about, 5-6 for depth bench players and you have the ability to sign 2 quality guys, One will almost have to be a pitcher, even if they trade for peavy. Grifffey may be a low cost option, but i doubt an NL team will take the risk of making play the field and hope to get 120 game out of him.
smolts wint be anywhere NEAR 10 million...I will be surprosed if they offer more than 8. the thing is we need a CF not a LF dunn could play 1st and find out if cochman can play LF... but that leaves us yet again with a void in CF. Francouer can play there but hten RF is open... its not a good idea for burrell OR dunn in my opinion
And also by far the worst hitter.Quote:

thats why I say trade for andruw... i think his problems were his knees... if he is fine now and u can get him for a few million go for it.Quote:

Report: Braves, Friars near Peavy deallooks like its gonna get done...
Why would you not ask 1st if he would waive it instead of waiting until the end here. it will be funny as hell if he says no :p
id like to see him say no because he wants escobar playing behind him. I read that somewhee that he wanted the braves to keep escobar. :p
Because circumstances of the agreed to deal may affect whether or not he'd want to waive it.Quote:

He did
Peavy, Lowe, Jair, Smoltz Hampton... I'll take it :P
I'm glad Wren stuck to his game plan and not bend like some second year GMs might. Towers simply tried to play us and the Cubs against each other, and failed just like the Twins last year with Santana. I see the Braves getting Lowe plus one of Perez, Garland, or Johnson plus either Dunn or Ibanez (I hope Dunn, I think Ibanez)
Have you guys seen what Hanson has been doing in the Arizona Fall League? It's known as a good hitters league and yet most scouts are saying that Hanson could be the MVP of the league.
