If I were the Atlanta Braves General Manager by gondeee on Nov 16, 2008 8:00 AM EST in Free Agents http://www.talkingchop.com/ If I were the Atlanta Braves General Manager, here are the moves I would try and make this off-season (rosterbation to follow): 1. Sign either free agent A.J. Burnett or Ryan Dempster as your number-one starter. I'd go with Burnett first, even with all the injury history; and I'll leave it to the Braves discretion to determine if Dempster is more than a one-year wonder. As they say at the poker table, 'you can't play with scared money.' 簽下AJB或Dempster其中之一作為第一號先發 我比較喜歡AJB,即使他的傷病史... 2. Trade for St. Louis left-fielder Ryan Ludwick, using some package built around Kelly Johnson and Blaine Boyer. They apparently want an upgrade at second base and some bullpen help. 以Johnson和Boyer為中心的包裹,和紅雀交易來左外野手Ludwick. 他們應該蠻缺二壘手和牛棚. 3. Trade for Kansas City starting pitcher Zach Greinke, using a package built around Tyler Flowers, Jeff Francoeur, and either Jo-Jo Reyes or Charlie Morton. I'm hoping that Dayton Moore wants one more taste of the old Atlanta Braves farmhands he helped sign. 以Flowers、Jeff Francoeur、以及Reyes或Morton其中之一為中心的包裹, 和皇家交易來先發Greinke. 4. Sign free agent Ken Griffey Jr. to play right field. I'm gonna get a lot of grief for this one, but Griffey is a tireless worker and he knows he'll have to work extra hard to stay in the game. And yes, I think he's got enough left to play the field and hit in the middle of the lineup. 簽下Griffey Jr.把他放在右外野... 5. Sign free agent lefty reliever Jeremy Affeldt; failing that, re-sign Will Ohman. Let's continue to spend more money on the bullpen. 先下左中繼Jeremy Affeldt.亦或是重簽Ohman. 6. Re-sign lefty starter Mike Hampton; failing that, re-sign Tom Glavine. Either of these guys is good for a one year contract and a high risk, high reward gamble. 重簽左先發Hampton.亦或是重簽Glavine. 7. Re-sign right-hander John Smoltz as a bullpen setup/closer type pitcher. You know he'll be ready. 重簽Smoltz作為SU或CP。 And it rosterbates out to this: Lineup: 1 - CF - Jordan Schafer; failing that, some combination of Gregor Blanco and Josh Anderson 2 - SS - Yunel Escobar 3 - 3B - Chipper Jones 4 - RF - Ken Griffey Jr. 5 - LF - Ryan Ludwick 6 - C - Brian McCann 7 - 1B - Casey Kotchman 8 - 2B - Martin Prado Rotation: 1 - A.J. Burnett or Ryan Dempster 2 - Zach Greinke 3 - Jair Jurrjens 4 - Mike Hampton 5 - Jorge Campillo Bullpen: 1 - Mike Gonzalez 2 - John Smoltz 3 - Rafael Soriano 4 - Jeremy Affeldt 5 - Peter Moylan 6 - Manny Acosta 7 - Jeff Bennett Wow, that's some pipe dream. Still, I think it's somewhat feasible and not out of control speculation. I'm adding one pitcher and one hitter through free agency and one pitching and one hitter through trades. If we want to try and win next season, then we're going to have to take some risks. --
