June 26, 200421 yr At this point, I will be happy with any new pitching not involving our Farm teaam. Moybe,Ortiz,Burlyman,Esty,Garland. that is pretty damn good.
June 26, 200421 yr Just saw this on ESPN board about the possible deal... anyone else hear this?? http://boards.espn.go.com/cgi/mlb/request....b_chw&id=289555
June 26, 200421 yr LMAO! I hope the Braves dont think its gonna be Maggs for Ortiz?? Man if that happened I would personally kick KW in the sack
June 26, 200421 yr No they are saying it will be a combo deal for Maggs....I have to try and catch this on the radio at 1pm and see what the moron Levine has to say.
June 26, 200421 yr LMAO! I hope the Braves dont think its gonna be Maggs for Ortiz?? Man if that happened I would personally kick KW in the sack I would join you in doing that
June 26, 200421 yr If it can land us Ortiz, JD Drew, and a reliever that would be the great That would be so sweet. does drew bat lefty or righty
June 26, 200421 yr JD Drew is a LH Power hitter who also hits for average... He would be a GREAT pick up and could go right into RF Plus we then get Ortiz who can be a #1... and another reliever.... it would make us better since we have already been hitting well without Maggs... and adding Drew?? Man it would be awesome
June 26, 200421 yr That would be awesome. That is excatly what we need another left handed batter who knows how to play right field. I would feel better though if Atlanta were to give us a good man out of their bullpen.
June 26, 200421 yr Correct me if I'm wrong, but can't Sweeney NOT be traded? Something about not being able to be traded til one year after he was signed?
June 26, 200421 yr What about: Maggs/Rauch/Lower level prospect for Ortiz, Smoltz, Drew Am I dreaming, or is that a fair deal or not?
June 26, 200421 yr I just hope its Maggs for Ortiz, Drew, and a reliever That seems fair to me I would be happy with that too. As long as its a quality reliver and not another mike jackson or cliff politte
June 26, 200421 yr What about: Maggs/Rauch/Lower level prospect for Ortiz, Smoltz, Drew Am I dreaming, or is that a fair deal or not? Do you think Smoltz can still be effective at his age?
June 26, 200421 yr I dont know if they will give up Smoltz BUT if we can get Smoltz, Drew, and Ortiz I would give them Maggs, Rauch, and a good prospect
June 26, 200421 yr Why would the Braves give up a starter a closer and their RF to get an injured RF who is a free agent at the end of the year? If the Braves are trading for Magglio, they would still be trying to win their division. Ortiz, they would give up. Drew, maybe but probably not, Smoltz, no way. Also be wary of pitchers the Braves trade. They seem to get rid of them just at the right time, if you know what I'm sayin.
June 26, 200421 yr It's nice to dream, fellas! Mayber we should throw in Crede, and get Chipper too! :headshake
June 26, 200421 yr Perhaps the Braves are looking to rebuild after this year and mabey they want Magglio to be the center piece.
June 26, 200421 yr Perhaps the Braves are looking to rebuild after this year and mabey they want Magglio to be the center piece. Seriously. You guys are putting way too much spin on this RUMOR. If this deal went through that you guys are creating, we might as well be the Atlanta White Sox, and they should become the Chicago Braves.
June 26, 200421 yr How do you know that they dont have someone they feel can come in and take the place of Ortiz (6 - 6, 4.00 + ERA)? Not to mention that Maggs is coming back any day now AND is better than JD Drew and a reliever and we give them Maggs and a prospect? I never said Smoltz.... BUT, that seems very fair to me and could still keep ATL in a race
