I just spoke with Tim Hudson in the
Braves clubhouse who said that after he played catch
today, he's decided to have Tommy John surgery. Hudson said he had some pain during his session, which pretty much convinced him to have the procedure. The team ...

The Atlanta Braves announced that they have traded
left-handed reliever Macay McBride to the Detroit Tigers in
exchange for left-handed reliever Wilfredo Ledezma . Ledezma has primarily been a reliever in his five-year major league career, but he has ...

Every player needs his own song. This is

Okay, I admit, I was pretty sour on
this trade when I first heard about it, but
I'm starting to warm up to it. The Braves rarely make dumb trades, so there had to be some sort of reason the Braves were keen on Will OhMan. Check out these numbers over ...

The home-opening day debacle is all but forgotten.
The Braves proved that they can bounce back strong
and win the close games. Once again our bullpen out-pitched the Mets bullpen, and we took over first place in the NL East. I know it's early, but I'd ...

This Sunday we take some time to remember
a great baseball player and one of the most
courageous people to ever step on a baseball diamond. There has been some flack about who and how many people should wear number 42 in honor of Jackie Robinson ...

After being demoted to the number six spot
in the lineup and sitting out with a sore
back in our game two rout of the Red Sox, then returning only to strike out five times, some beat reporters apparently thought Andruw had a lot of explaining to do. ...

A scary post last night from David O'Brien
who said this about the possibility of acquiring lefty
relief: More realistic targets for the Braves could include Will Ohman of the Cubs, who has a .196 career opponents' average by lefty hitters, but ...

The latest centerfield option du jour for the
Braves is apparently the Oakland Athletics' Mark Kotsay. ESPN
is reporting that sources say the Braves have reached a preliminary agreement to acquire Kotsay in exchange for Joey Devine. Oakland also sends ...

And they continue to be head-scratchers. The Braves
acquired left-handed reliever Jeff Ridgway from the Tampa Bay
Devil Rays for utility infielder Willy Aybar and minor league shortstop Chase Fontaine. Really! I'm I missing the point of the Braves ...

I did this last spring over at my
old site and people liked it, so I'm reviving
it for this spring as well. The basic gist is that each player who might be on the bubble about making the team is listed and followed throughout the spring. The arrows...

I caught up with Salty about a month
ago at the Braves spring training facility. He was
real busy and a tough one to snag for a few words, but I finally got a chance between some workouts, so it was a brief interview. But I think it reveals that ...

So, that was horrific. I guess it could
have been worse, but when I heard "Smoltz is
walking to the dugout," my life pretty much flashed before my eyes. His departure seemed to really spook the rest of the team (I don't blame them), and the rest of ...

Renteria. LVP: Scott Thorman - apologies to Andruw Jones, Pete Orr, and Chris Woodward. May was a weird month. As a team we went 14-14 and played like a ...

It's always nice to think that your team
is on the winning side of a trade. This
trade was a bit harder to digest for me, and I think many Braves fans because Macay was one of the Baby Braves, a former first round pick, a local boy, and someone we had ...

Less than 24 hours after the end of
the World Series the Braves new General Manager, Frank
Wren, wasted no time making the first trade of the hot stove league (it would have been the first move of any kind, but A-Rod announced his decision to opt-out ...

I thought I'd take this slow news time
and swap some questions with one of our division
rival's blogs. Below are five questions that I asked Eric Simon of Amazin' Avenue about how the Mets off-season is going. As one of our biggest rivals, I thinks ...
Tim Hudson to have Tommy John Surgery
