Are the Braves shopping Troy Glaus?
Troy Glaus on the move?
Fox Sports is reporting that the Braves may be interested in moving Troy Glaus before the end of the waiver deadline. There are some American League teams that reportedly have interest in the hitter as a DH and occasional first baseman. Teams that are reported to have interest are the Red Sox, Rays, Twins and Rangers.
This would be an interesting development...

Walk-Off Win: Troy Glaus Is For Real
Before I start, I’ll admit that I was one of those people that was calling for the head of Troy Glaus when April ended. I’ve made my apologies about that and everyone else should do the same. Go ahead. Admit it. I won’t judge you. You probably talked bad about Glaus six weeks ago as well.
Anyhow, Glaus’s walk-off homer to beat the Royals continues...

Is Troy Glaus Headed For The DL?
Through last Friday’s game against the Marlins, Troy Glaus was the only member of the Braves that had played in all 80 of the team’s games. Since then however, Glaus has missed the team’s last 3 games with swelling and soreness in his left knee, which he has apparently been dealing with for the past couple of weeks.
The swelling, attributed to normal wear from...

Atlanta Braves to trade Troy Glaus?

One Major League source close to Morosi says multiple teams have shown interest in Glaus and he could fit in for teams with needs at first base and/or designated hitter. Candidates for such as need include the Boston Red Sox, Minnesota Twins and Texas Rangers.
There are approximately...

Troy Glaus activated from DL, now a pinch-hitter
Troy Glaus has had an odd year for the Braves. He struggled in April. He carried the Braves’ offense in May and the first part of June. The 2nd half of June, July and August, he was terrible at the plate and at first base. The Braves traded for Derrek Lee and put him on the DL to rest his sore knees and to give him an opportunity to play 3rd base and get acclimated to his...

Glaus Blast Powers Braves Past Royals
Troy Glaus connected for a dramatic walk-off solo blast and Brian McCann added a solo shot of his own as the red-hot Braves beat the Kansas City Royals 5-4 on Saturday night in Atlanta.
The game-winning solo shot by the hot-hitting Glaus was his 14th homerun of the season, while McCann’s fourth inning blast was his seventh homerun of the year.
The Braves jumped out to an early...

Braves Pave Way for Freddie Freeman
Freddie Freeman will start at first next year.
It looks as though Troy Glaus and Derrek Lee will be headed for free agency after the Atlanta Braves declined to offer them arbitration today. Glaus and Lee more or less platooned at first base for the Braves last season, though platoon may not be the best word as injuries caused the Braves to trade for, and switch to, Derrek Lee about...

Concessions: Braves still struggling at First base
Much time has been given to the struggles that Troy Glaus had on this blog. I will not do anything but draw comparisons with Derrek Lee the replacement for the breaking down 1st bagger.
Glaus has hit .242 with a .345 on base % and .406 slugging % for the Braves in 117 games played this year. He has 16 HR, 71 rbis, 61 walks, 96 Ks and 18 doubles. He hit .206 with a .312 OBP and...

Glaus is the Key
In May the Braves made a push in the NL East that eventually resulted in a 7 game lead in the division over the Phillies and Mets. Troy Glaus was in large part responsible for the surge. The veteran first baseman was arguable the hottest hitter in the league during the month of May hitting .330 with [...]

Possible Suitors For Troy Glaus
Troy Glaus has a home run title and a World Series MVP Award to his name, but the former third overall pick has a dwindling number of potential destinations for next year. The 34-year-old posted a .240/.344/.400 line for the Braves last year, slumping badly in the second half. He was playing shortstop as recently as 2006 (interleague games only) but Glaus is a first baseman/DH at...

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde = Troy Glaus
Come on Troy, hit again!
With Chipper Jones and Martin Prado going down to injury, the Atlanta Braves’ weaknesses are being magnified. Bobby Cox has maintained that he needs Troy Glaus to be healthy and he needs his “right-handed” bat in the lineup. The Braves are a little left-handed for the most part. They do need right-handed batters to help hit against lefties...

Atlanta Braves’ outlook on First Base in 2011.
There are three sure things headed into 2011 at first base for the Atlanta Braves. First, Troy Glaus will not be the opening day starter. Second, Derrek Lee will not be the opening day starter. Third, Freddie Freeman will be the opening day starter, barring injury (which he has hurt his thumb in the Fall League, but is only a sprain and contusion).
It was the Braves hopes and...

Padres could be a remote possibility for Troy Glaus
Veteran third/ first baseman Troy Glaus is starting to get more action according to Sports Illustrated's Jon Heyman, and the San Diego Padres could be a remote possibility for him. Heyman says that Glaus or Jorge Cantu could split time in first base with Brad Hawpe, who was officially signed earlier this week by the Padres.
Glaus, 34, played in 2010 with the Braves, he hit .240 with...

What To Do About Troy Glaus?
In May the Braves surged into first place. Troy Glaus was a huge part of that. In April the team had scored just 85 runs on the way to a 9-14 record, a major disappointment given preseason expectations. Glaus, a gamble signing, looked cooked, hitting just .194 and producing a .282 wOBA. But in May he found his groove, producing a .408 wOBA that helped the Braves score 163 runs. The...

Glaus to take his time to find team
In my older age, I can admire Troy Glaus' decision to just sit back at the beginning of the baseball season, survey the landscape and then choose to piggyback on a team in the pennant race.

Troy Glaus Shafted In All-Star Voting
The latest All-Star vote totals are out and despite Jason Heyward, Brian McCann and Martin Prado solidly in second place for their positions, Troy Glaus is getting shafted. Glaus is in fourth place at first base behind Albert Pujols, Ryan Howard, and Prince Fielder.
Now I know Glaus only turned it on starting in May, but he’s been absolutely ON FIRE since then. But then again...
