I gotta rant too though. Chris Johnson walked by us 6 times and never even bothered to look over. When I say walked by, I mean he was like 2 feet from us and wouldn't even stop for a few seconds to sign anything or talk to us. Once, he was literally standing next to us and wouldn't even take a second out of his day to sign something or even acknowledge we were there. He's a true d******d!!! I hope he gets cut or traded. I don't wanna see any people like that on my fav team.

Anyways, just had to rant about CJ too.

That sounds a lot like Barry Bonds when the Braves came to the stick. Dusty Baker was open and friendly to the fans and Bonds could not be bothered.

I'm cautiously optimistic myself. Trying to keep low expectations though.

I think he's got a lot of upside. He has a cannon for a arm and his overall defense is solid. His bat will come around too. He's not complete yet but most players get better with age.

I saw the Braves are looking to add another starter. If they're targeting Trevor Cahill like some reports say, this might be their chance to unload Melvin Upton Jr. I hope Jon Hart can pull it off somehow(unloading Upton). I'd rather have EYJ in CF all year than Upton for a day.

I just hope he doesn't get too disappointed this year if we fall pretty far out of contention. I'd like to have him around a while.

That would be nice, but i doubt we could unload a hurt Upton. Hard enough to trade when healthy but a hurt version is pretty much impossible. You never know though

True. It just depends on how bad a team, like the D backs, wanna unload a bad contract of their own. Just keeping my fingers crossed.

#Braves acquire RHP Trevor Cahill and cash considerations from Diamondbacks in exchange for minor-league outfielder Josh Elander
— Atlanta Braves (@Braves) April 3, 2015

Teheran
Wood
Miller
Wandy or Stults
Cahill

Stults will probably start the year in the pen though.
