Buddy Carlyle? Really, Braves? Really?

Via Rant Sports  |  January 30, 2012
There was an interesting piece of information passed along by David O’Brien from the Atlanta Journal Constitution on Twitter today. The Atlanta Braves have reunited with Buddy Carlyle on a minor league deal. He was seen today at the Braves’ 1st day of pitching camp. Braves fans may remember Carlyle from his stint with the team in 2007 through 2009. He pitched 191...

Kenshin Kawakami Going Home to Japan

Via Rant Sports  |  January 28, 2012
The Atlanta Braves and Kenshin Kawakami‘s tumultuous relationship came to a conclusion after the 2011 season, when he became a free agent. Now, Kawakami is headed back to Japan to pitch for the Chunichi Dragons. The Braves signed Kawakami to a 3 year $23 million contract before the 2009 season. He really didn’t pitch poorly for the Braves. He was plagued by poor run...

Brandon Beachy’s Secret Weapon

Via Fangraphs  |  January 31, 2012
Brandon Beachy turned in one of baseball’s most surprising performances this past season. After rising through the Atlanta Braves’ minor league system in 2010, Beachy wrestled the fifth starter slot away from Mike Minor in 2011. The undrafted Beachy shocked the baseball world, posting a 28.6% strikeout rate, 3.19 FIP and 3.16 xFIP en route to 2.8 win season. While his...

Michael Bourn Player Projection No. 75

Via Fantasy Baseball 365  |  January 28, 2012
Key Stats: Michael Bourn has been one of the most consistent outfielders of the past three seasons and had been doing it under the radar - until last season that is. Heading into the 2011 season, Bourn was not ranked in the top 30 outfielders by ESPN, CBS, or Yahoo - despite being the only player to top 50 steals in both 2009 and 2010. Now Bourn is the only player in baseball that...

Brian McCann Player Projection No. 74

Via Fantasy Baseball 365  |  January 29, 2012
Key Stats: Brian McCann has been the steady force at the catcher position over the last six years. He has finished with at least 20 home runs every season except one (he hit 18), he is a career .286 hitter, and has a career .844 OPS. He's also only going to be 28 this coming season. If you are going to go big early on catcher, it's nice that there's a consistent player...

Braves make concessions move to lure back the fans

Via Fox Sports South  |  January 31, 2012
The Braves slashed food and beverage prices by a third for holders of season ticket plans of 20 or more games. The deal is good at fixed stands, not for the sit-down restaurant or for the vendors that roam through the stands, and doesn't include alcohol. But it's a substantial savings all the same. The team used the word "unprecedented" in its announcement. Attendance...

#54: How valuable is Craig Kimbrel?

Via Baseball Professor  |  January 28, 2012
There are two answers to this question: the short, quick answer and the long, detailed answer. The short answer is Kimbrel is a top-50 player and, arguably, a top-30 player. Last season his end-of-season rank was 19, which would seem to validate this conclusion. The long answer isn’t so cut and dry. While Kimbrel did rank 19th last season, you’ll be hard-pressed to...
