I always hope we have one, when this thread is bumped. Thanks Dan.

Boring arbitration talk...

Quote

Martin Prado filed for $7.05MM while the Braves countered with $6.65MM, Heyman reports

The Braves avoided arbitration with Cristhian Martinez, agreeing to a one-year deal, MLB.com's Mark Bowman reports (on Twitter). The Braves avoided arb with Kris Medlen, David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports (on Twitter). Medlen will earn $2.6MM in 2013. They also avoided arb with Jason Heyward, agreeing to a one-year, $3.65MM deal, Bowman reports (onTwitter). The Braves agreed with another young player, avoiding arb with Jonny Venters, O'Brien reports (on Twitter). It's a $1.625MM deal. Earlier today the Braves agreed to a one-year deal with Eric O'Flaherty, avoiding arbitration, Bowman reported (on Twitter). He'll earn $4.32MM plus awards bonuses, Bowman adds.

I'm going to panhandle outside of the Ted with a "Donate a Dollar to Keep Marteen in Atlanta" sign.

If you all need a left fielder, I can play. I can still hit 90+ MPH fastballs. I'm still glad to know my hand eye coordination and hand speed hasn't changed much over the years haha.

Chipper Jones was honored at the New York BBWAA dinner last night and confessed to the audience he was starting to get the itch to go back to Spring Training, Rubin reports. "I was on the Braves' web site, just kind of messing around on my computer," said Jones. "I was thinking to myself, 'You know what? I think I'm going to go down and get me a workout in, see how everything feels.' I was down there for about five minutes and I figured I'd go to Hawaii instead."

Must be nice being Larry.

The Braves are gonna miss Chipper much more than most of us realize. With what they have signed to date, I don't see them making the playoffs in 2013...........I hope I'm wrong............

CBS Sports says Arizona is considering an offer from us for a certain outfielder.

Eh, I don't like the sound of that.

As long as they don't touch players like Medlen, Beachy, Hudson, Teheran, or any of our current bullpen I'm okay with it. But we probably have to give up something that we don't want to get Upton most likely.
