Hello again everyone! I’m coming to you today from what seems to be the place with the most tempermental weather on the planet: 12 degrees this morning, maybe 50 tomorrow. The same snow and ice must have melted and refrozen half a dozen times. And it finally gave me a cold. Yuck!
But on to more pleasant things. I was browsing the ‘Net today and came across some great (albiet premature) news: As a group, the projected Braves starting eight for this season are hitting amazingly well. How well? Let’s take a look!
Player BA OBP SLG OPS Prado .263 .333 .316 .649 McLouth .462 .650 .615 1.265 Jones .300 .364 .500 .864 Uggla .278 .364 .333 .697 McCann .188 .188 .188 .376 Heyward .417 .533 .500 1.033 Freeman .381 .435 .524 .959 Gonzalez .389 .450 .611 1.061 Total .328 .403 .445 .848
All the "question mark" pieces are doing well. I personally don’t have too many worries about McCann, Prado, and Uggla. I’d like to see a lot more power, though, as in total the group only has 2 home runs (one each by Prado and Chipper). I’ll take the good news, even given the limited sample size. Do you have any thoughts?
