Cobb Posted August 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 Linebrink and McCann activated. Hanson sent to the 15 day DL. I will be at the Braves-Giants game on this Tuesday and it looks like Randall Delgado will be pitching in place of Tommy Hanson. I'm really excited to see him pitch again, better yet in person.

Cobb Posted August 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Randall Delgado looked great tonight. Was kind of disappointed that Fredi yanked him after allowing that HR by Ross. He will be optioned back to Triple-A later today and Jurrjens will be coming back off the DL to start the game tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobb Posted August 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 Chipper: "I'm playing next year" http://blogs.ajc.com/atlanta-braves-blog/2011/08/19/chipper-ends-speculation-im-playing-next-year/ Chipper Jones said he will return to play for the Braves in 2012, ending speculation that the Braves’ 39-year-old third baseman might retire after this season and walk away with a year left on his contract. “I’m playing next year,” he told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Friday. “I still feel like I can go out there and play a good third base and be a threat, at least, at the plate. I’m having a good defensive year and the [batting] average is on the rise.” Jones is owed $14 million in 2012 in the final year of a three-year, $42 million contract extension, which also includes a $9 million option for 2013 that becomes automatic if he plays in 123 games next season or averages 127 games this season and next. I have no problem with him coming back as long as we use him properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobb Posted August 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 ajcbraves David O'Brien by CapitolAvenue #Braves pitcher Hanson has small rotator-cuff tear, kind that often doesn't require surgery. They hope he's back in "few weeks," Wren said. Meh. I just hope he can heal up in time to make a couple of starts before the playoffs begin.

Cobb Posted August 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Buster_ESPN Buster Olney Braves get Matt Diaz for Ptbnl, from PIT --------- Not really sure what to think. Hopefully I won't ever have to see Julio Lugo hit again! Diaz will be added to the roster today and more then likely Cristhian Martinez will be sent to the minors.

Prediction: In the 6 games remaining vs. PHI, Diaz goes 20-for-30 with 10 home runs and 10 doubles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobb Posted August 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 @mlbdepthcharts #Braves LHP George Sherrill placed on DL (elbow inflammation), according to the MLB.com transactions page. Clears a spot for Matt Diaz. Sweet. I would much rather have Cristhian Martinez than George Sherrill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobb Posted September 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 @Mariners Seattle Mariners The #Mariners have acquired a player to be named later from the Atlanta Braves in exchange for INF Jack Wilson. --------- No more Julio Lugo! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobb Posted September 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 mlbbowman Mark Bowman Wes Helms will not be among the Sept. roster additions. He has a bothersome foot spur and has decided to shut it down for the year. #Braves --------- So much for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
