coachx Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 We need a power bat off the bench. First we need a power bat starting in the cleanup spot. Chipper and McCann are not every day players and having them hit #3 and #4 is not ideal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachx Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Assuming that Gonzalez and Soriano will get better offers to close elsewhere, the Braves are expected to continue to gauge the cost of signing veteran closer Billy Wagner, who posted a 1.72 ERA in the 17 appearances that he made after returning from Tommy John elbow reconstruction surgery in late August. There has also been a recent buzz that the Braves may attempt to trade for Pirates closer Matt Capps, who made $2.3 million this past season and has two remaining arbitration-eligible seasons. It's believed the Pirates will be actively shopping the 26-year-old right-handed reliever, who hails from the Atlanta area. I like the sound of these closer options. If we could trade KJ and mid level prospect for Matt Capps ! Wagner may play for us on a discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
