I think a trade is gonna happen soon. I can't really give a good reason why, I just have this feeling....7 days left
Since the arrival of Julio Franco, Cox absolutely refuses to play Salty. Yesterday Woodward came in to pinch run for Franco...BUT WOODWARD STAYED IN TO PLAY 1B. Why not let Woodward run the bases (which might be all he's good for) then let Salty man the field? I like to give bobby the benefit of the doubt but he has this thing about not playing certain guys.
We should probably just trade Salty and Devine. Bobby isn't going to play them anyways, so why not just swap em for somebody? What if we just traded those two for an entirely new bullpen. I think Bobby Cox needs some more guys to overwork.
I'm still not sold on Texiera. If you look at his Home/Away splits you notice that he isn't the reliable hitter he needs to be when playing away from that softball field in Texas.
In other news, more Bonds/Balco mumbo jumbo.
I can't really think of anything else to say, so I'm gonna eat lunch now.

Indeed, the park is very important when you look at his numbers.
I've read a lot of articles suggesting that the Braves pull the trigger on Teixeira, but I just don't see it. A career .851 OPS away from Arlington is good, but not outstanding. The Braves would only have him under contract for the rest of the year, and if they want him next year, they'll have to pay him the going rate for "outstanding."
Is that really worth giving up Salty alone, whom the Braves will control for several more years? I'm hearing that they may send more than Salty, too.
Needless to say, I'm ready for this week to be over, too.
