Braves return to the scene of last year epic collapse

[WraithSentinel]

Has there even been an international player who has played for an Atl sports team fit in so well in the community as Zaza has? I can't think of one as of right now.

Crazy what he's done and we're talking about a guy who was't really in the rotation for while. Plus, his attitude is awesome. Hopefully he will be the ace for a new Braves era. Let's just hope he can win that one game that matters most. I wonder what the lowest win total of a cy young winner has been. Looked it up: Fernando and Lincecum with 15 wins. This is the lowest for non-relievers. Maddux won with 16. That Medlen ERA is amazing though.

Your site it out of date! Felix Hernandez with 13 wins in 2010. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=5820623

Assuming the Braves get passed the WC playin game. Seeing as how the Braves will likely need 4 starters on the playoff roster. Braves need to just leave Hanson off the playoff roster.

I wouldn't say leave him off the roster, but Hanson does not need to make an appearance in the playoffs. Dude has high a ceiling while being relatively young. Do we trade him away during the off season, keep him until around the July mark to boost his trade value up (if pitches good), or give him another year to see if he improves.

[WraithSentinel]

I am not sure what his trade value is. If you use him to get a player such as Justin Upton from the D'backs. Another player who value is not what it once was. I would def go for a trade like that. Braves will need a LF and Upton is locked up long term. Other then that keep him and hope he stays healthy.

[AHawks89]

I'm not to sure why we have kept pitching Hanson while we could had put in Julio or Delgado.

Kimbrel has 116ks vs 231 batters this year... WOW! Cy Young?!

Kimbrel does deserve to win it. Gio & Cueto could make a case for it. I see Kimbrel only real competition being Dickey.http://espn.go.com/mlb/player/_/id/4695/r.a.-dickey

Lets do this.

[AHawks89]

Ross starting over McCann. They say it's because McCann is still banged up. I think it's for defense purposes and match ups. At least we can use McCanns bat off the bench when needed.

Lets do this.

WIN ONE FOR THE CHIPPER!
