Found February 02, 2009 on Eli's MLB Rumors:
The Braves and Casey Kotchman have agreed to a one year deal worth 2.885 million dollars, according to Jon Heyman of SI.com. Kotchman hit .272 with 14 HR in 143 games for the Angels and Braves last season, but hit just .237 with the Braves after a .287 average for the Angels. Kotchman will likely return to the .275-.285 average he hit in 2007 and the beginning of 2008 with 12-14 homeruns, a very respectable line.?

Abreu or Dunn? (Or Swisher/Nady?)

Whom should the Braves pursue and sign? Adam Dunn or Bobby Abreu? Both would fit in well and fill the need (a bat providing a little bit of power in the outfield). That said, there are a couple of other options - being Xavier Nady or Nick Swisher, both of whom we’d have to trade for [...]
