The average isn't bad but they waste so many good opportunities. Even last night, they scored 4 but left 13 guys on base! Nady would be a perfect fit. What are they waiting for?

I agree with you guys as far as making a move. They need to get another bat in their lineup. If I had my choice, I would go after Bay first then Nady. Nadys hitting for a good average this year, but Bay will get you anywhere from 25 to 35 homeruns a season. Blake only if nothing else works.

Plus, bay would be a rent a player and they could probably sign nady long term. Texiera is also in the rumors, could be a switch hitting DH. I'd say trade any minor leaguer except price.

That seems to good to be true.texiera would not be good. for one...he would only be a 2 month rental and secondly, the braves would want way too much for a player that we would only use as a DH.

It would be nice if we could get him and keep him. Guess that won't happen though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
