R.I.P Skip Caray

33年的勇士之聲Skip Caray過世了，享年68歲。Braves還有什麼更倒霉不幸的事？！

懷念一下他的轉播：

Welcome Kotchman & good luck Teixeira

AJC
The Braves traded Teixeira to the Los Angeles Angels for first baseman Casey Kotchman and minor-league reliever Stephen Marek.

Kotchman, 25, has hit .287 with 24 doubles, 12 home runs and 54 RBIs in 100 games for the Angels this season, after hitting .296 with 11 homers and 68 RBIs in his first full season in 2007. He's a strong defensive first baseman.

MLBTRADERUMORS
4:50pm: Jayson Stark has the scoop - Mark Teixeira is headed to the Angels for Casey Kotchman and another player. MLB.com's Lyle Spencer says the second player is relief prospect Stephen Marek.

Solid return for the Braves, certainly beats a couple of draft picks of unknown position. Kotchman is under team control through 2011.

Baseball America
The Angels converted Marek, 24, to the bullpen this season at Double-A Arkansas because he doesn't repeat his release point or maintain his focus while starting. He's gone 2-6, 3.66 with 57 strikeouts, 21 walks and two home runs in 47 innings, suggesting the change has done him well. Signed for $800,000 in 2005 as a draft-and-follow from San Jacinto (Texas) JC, Marek's 88-94 mph fastball and plus, mid-70s curveball have played up in relief, where his under-developed is less of a hindrance.


------------
對天使來說，二個月加play-off的Tex為打入總冠軍賽多加了一道保險(a wild guess of 2008 world series: Cubs vs Angels)，而且Angels有錢可以留住Teixeira。

對勇士來說，Kotchman plus any middle prospect 都比未知的兩個draft picks好。千萬別拿去年換Tex的包裹來比較，去年Braves還有一拼進入季後賽的機會，更重要的是Tex還有一年的保用期。現在拿二個月使用期的Tex換來至少可以用到2011年的Kotchman，對手頭不寬的勇士隊來說，擠出來的預算或許可以在未來補強殘破的先發投手群和外野手。

而這場交易的贏家，毫無疑問的：Mr. Scott Boras

Braves 731 Countdown

MLBTRADERUMORS
http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/atlanta_braves/index.html
2008/7/29
1:01pm: ESPN's Jayson Stark says the Dodgers and Yankees have also flirted with the idea of acquiring Teixeira. The Braves want a big-league ready bat, preferably a first baseman, in any trade.

12:23pm: Ken Rosenthal says the Angels and D'Backs are competing for Teixeira. The Halos would like to expand the deal to include a lefty reliever like Will Ohman or Mike Gonzalez. Joe Saunders and Ervin Santana are off-limits, but Casey Kotchman and Juan Rivera can be had. Not sure why Rivera would appeal to the Braves, since he's a free agent after the season.

8:29am: When we last left off, various sources conflicted on whether the D'Backs are the frontrunner to acquire Mark Teixeira. Let's kick off a new thread for the likely slew of new Tex rumors today.

According to Mike DiGiovanna of the L.A. Times, the Angels are once again exploring a trade for Teixeira. They are warming to the idea of adding a rental player to their first-place club. The price for Teixeira is said to be a first baseman, starter, and power-hitting outfielder. DiGiovanna also wonders if a deal could be expanded to include Will Ohman, much like last year when the Rangers added Ron Mahay.


----- 下面是廢話 -----
well, Braves are out this year. 今年的勇士霉星高照，先發投手的John Smoltz四月底進DL、六月復出投了一局就掛整季，Tom Glavine投了12場59.3局六月十一號進了DL還沒放出來，Mike Hampton最近才主投三年來的第一場球，Tim Hudson正準備去見Dr. Andrews(You know what it means..)。中繼投手的Peter Moylan季初開Tommy John整季報銷，Rafael Soriano從六月六號躺DL到七月二十一號才歸隊，Mike Gonzalez去年開完Tommy John到六月才回到場上。最好的打者 Chipper、McCann 也進了DL。這下不是擔心能不能順利交易Teixeira，而是整個球隊的狀況到了一個臨界點。

Tex的交易個人沒有什麼想法，事實上我希望能留他下來。畢竟Chipper的年紀大了，Frency令人失望，McCann的表現沒話說，可是球隊不太可能長期依賴一個蹲捕累的半死、還要來扛第三、四棒的，少了Tex這種 proven power hitter是非常傷的。如果可以交易到類似紅襪Kevin Youkilis的最好，或者希望至少能弄到前幾名的新秀，不然若因為沒錢留Teixeria、將來也很難有$$簽這種等級的自由球員，未來幾年實在看不出Braves有什麼機會。

目前幾個關於Tex的交易謠言都不太好，而留到年底等別的球隊簽，勇士最好的狀況是拿個1st round和sandwitch二個選秀權，若Tex被排名後一點(選秀權前15名)球隊簽走的話，那Braves就只能拿到sandwich和2nd round的選秀權了。我想與其賭明年的選秀還不如現在能換到別隊big-league ready's prospects來的保險。anyway, 交易不是那麼的一廂情願，只能等著看了。

Smoltz和Glavine兩位老骨頭明年能不能回來？Hudson會不會開Tommy John？ .... 我的老天！

恭喜中華隊前進北京奧運

很久沒看棒球，也很久沒上網給Blog澆澆水，不小心發現二年前po的Tomahawk Chop 勇士戰斧之歌的由來這篇文章最近的點閱率很多，原來是因為奧運資格賽球迷用了這首戰歌為中華隊加油，不少朋友一不小心就連結進來這裡。

說真的，聽到大家用這條戰歌為中華隊加油是有點奇怪的，尤其對上美國隊。很久以前忘了在哪個Blog上看的，提到我們要有自己的加油歌，文中提到用1996年亞特蘭大奧運的主題曲"Return to innocence"這首被老外盜用自原住民的「老人飲酒歌」原曲來當作中華隊的加油歌，brilliant idea!


Anyway, 恭喜中華隊前進奧運，非常期待在北京聽到中華民國的升旗歌，中華隊加油！

Glavine's back

I had expressed my anger about Glavine in this article,"Tom Glavine is a Traitor?". But now, Glavine turned down $13M offer from Mets and gave Atlanta Braves a hometown discount with $8M, one-year deal.

I have to be happy with it. Welcome home, Tommy.

Trash talk

Is Braves' season over? Mathematically, not yet. But after being swept by Mets, this year was failed disappointedly. I am sorry that Braves can't go to the play-off, on the other hand, the result is not bad for the team and fans.

21st century's Braves are not strong as 1990's, limited budget, elder core players, spoiled fans and the same stubborn Bobby Cox. I don't know, after two years without playoff, not feeling that bad.

最近半個月很少看棒球，MLB.TV 晾在旁邊也很久了。I think that I need a fresh air without baseball around.

當初建立這個部落格，除了自己對 Braves 的喜愛，還希望能留下一些紀錄，在未來數十年視茫茫、髮蒼蒼、齒牙動搖後，有一些值得回憶的東西。但畢竟年紀越來越大，花在這裡的時間也越來越少，不營養的內容反而是一種傷害，考慮把這個 blog 收了。

很訝異的，我發現還有不少網友光臨這個沒啥內容的地方，這要非常感謝一些同樣熱愛 MLB 的部落客，把這裏加入各位的連結，以目前「中華洋基」當道的台灣，各位才是最棒的。

很抱歉這裡一直沒有開放 comment，主要是懶、怕忘了回覆，尤其自作聰明改了 Template 後，有點難改回來。Anyway, 謝謝曾經蒞臨的網友，雖然我不認識各位，但非常謝謝你們。

如果對小弟有什麼指教的，請 email 至 bravesfan.tw@gmail.com，謝謝。

Braves Designate Bob Wickman for Assignment

Bobby made this decision, "I just want to try something else, try something new," Cox said.

Andruw said the truth behind this move,
"If it's not a save situation, he was not happy about it," Andruw Jones said. "It's not fair to the team. It's not fair for the manager. The way he was going about this business, separate from everybody.

"We're a team. Everybody has their own attitude. Everybody's got their own feeling about each other. Everybody's got their own way of going about their business. But when we put a uniform on and we're all together, we're all as one. And we need guys who want to go out there and perform."

Surprised, no idea about this move yet. Perhaps I'd call this move a kick-ass. Bobby clearly made a sign, play 100% or fuxk yourself elsewhere.

Teixeira Tribute Song

Teixeira, who has seven homers and 19 RBIs in 17 games since being traded to the Braves. Two Auburn students from Alabama and longtime Braves fans made a song to Mark Teixeira. TBS' Chip Caray and Joe Simpson played this song during Tex's second at-bat of today's game.

Bobby sets record with 132nd career ejection

Bobby Cox, who had managed to go 43 consecutive games without an ejection, has been tossed by 79 different umpires.

All-Time Ejection Leaders

Bobby Cox	132
John McGraw	131
Leo Durocher	124
Earl Weaver	97
Frankie Frisch	86

Cox said that this is not a record to be proud of. But I like his attitude in the field for trying to protect his players.

最近的比賽不管贏或輸、表現好或壞，真他馬的越來越好看了，今天的比賽又殺死一堆細胞 (Recap)。I almost gave up this game after Wickman's poor performance, but wait ..... Chipper hits a game winning double after 10 minutes.

依慣例附上今天的 Game Graph (referred to FanGraphs)。

Braves WPA leader: Yunel Escobar .376 ( runner-up: Matt Diaz .134)
Goat: Bob Wickman -.189 (runner-up Jeff Francoeur -.132)
Most decisive play: I'll give credit to Yunel Escobar for his nice catch in the ninth inning, he saves at least a run.
Most decisive pitch: Every pitch Bob Wickman made in the ninth inning!!
Total contribution by the hitters: .537
Total contribution by the pitchers: -.037

John Smoltz 七月 4 GS、27 IP、2.33 ERA，被 Soriano BS 一場，只拿到 1W-1L；八月繼續他的壞運氣 3 GS、19 IP、4.74 ERA，被 Mahay & Wickamn 各 BS 一場，拿到 0W-1L。七場有三場被牛棚搞砸 .....
BTW, perhaps Andruw should be benched or put on DL for a while, he needs more rest or adjustment for Braves sake.

我看過國外報導最接近「霸氣」的單字是 "intimidating"，這是個形容詞。如果討論棒球捨棄那麼多的技術層面不去探討，卻使用這種沒有邏輯的形容詞來比較球員，實在是很可笑的一件事。

for FUN: Barry Bonds Signs

Current state of Braves' farm system

Braves 為了取得 Mark Teixeira 一下付出五個新秀，尤其失去了 Jarrod Saltalamacchia、Elvis Andrus 這二個評價最好的新秀，現在勇士農場的狀況如何，相信是關心球隊未來的球迷想要了解的。

常逛的一個 blog: Chop-n-Change 在 8/8 就有一篇 Chat with Bryan Smith 談到這個問題，Bryan Smith 是 Baseball Prospectus 負責寫小聯盟的專欄作家，藉由這個訪談，可以瞭解很多勇士目前農場客觀的狀況。原文請點閱上列連結。
------------------------------------------
1) 勇士農場在交易 Teixeira 後大失血，現在的評價如何？

現在大概是倒數前10名，這對你們來說應該不會感到意外。但我相信你們農場改造的速度比其他墊底的球團要快，更何況農場也並沒有完全被掏空，在高階農場裡你們還有 Brandon Jones 和 Brent Lillibridge，這兩個明年球季就可能對球隊有所貢獻；而低階農場裡則有不少好投手，像 Tommy Hanson、Cole Rohrbaugh、Jeff Locke、Steve Kent ... 等。還有一些介於以上二者之間的球員像 Jordan Schafer, Cody Johnson 和 Eric Campbell，以及今年很不錯的選秀新人 (Jason Heyward..)，我認為在一、二年內勇士農場又會回到前半段的等級。

2) Brent Lillibridge 今年開季的慢熱曾引起一些懷疑，但下半季又回復以往火熱的身手，他未來在大聯盟的表現大概會是如何？

我想 Lillibridge 未來會是位先發游擊手。他的長打 (power) 加上速度 (speed) 的組合對一個游擊手來說還不錯，而且對大聯盟的左投具有一定的殺傷力。我想他一開始的問題來自更換球團的不適應，而目前在 3A Richmond 就回復到當初 John Scheurholz 選進來所預期的水準。

3) 誰會是 Braves 未來的游擊手，Yunel Escobar 或 Brent Lillibridge？

在持續的研究下，我認為未來的 SS 應該是 Lillibridge。我認為你們在防守上損失的一小部份所交換回來的好處是較好的長打率 (slugging percentage) 和跑壘 (baserunning)。我了解球迷喜愛 Yunel 的原因，但是幾個令人印象深刻的精彩畫面並不代表他就一定能獲得這份工作。我想也有機會看到這二位球員同時在球場上，例如 Lillibridge 負責 CF，或者 Yunel 繼續佔住 SS 直到證明他不能勝任為止。但我個人會毫不猶豫的在 2008 球季開始的那一天將 SS 交給 Lillibridge。

4) Kala Ka'aihue 似乎是個讓人又愛又恨的球員，你對他未來的看法？

我並不那麼看好 Kala。我知道看他的長打能力 (power) 和耐心 (patience) 會讓人興奮，但一位 TTO (Three True Outcomes) 的球員就只有這麼多的價值 (but a Three True Outcomes player only has so much value)，Ka'aihue 很難成為像 Adam Dunn 那樣的球員。他揮空的次數太多 (wings through way too many pitches)，他在打擊區沒什麼方法 (bad approach at the plate)，而且我認為他在 2A 所展現的可能只是一個期待 (a thing to come)。如果 Scott Thorman 因為擊球的問題 (contact problem) 而不能在大聯盟生存，那麼 Kala Ka'aihue 也絕對沒辦法在大聯盟生存。

5) 你對 Jason Heyward 的看法？他可能發展成為一位優秀的打者嗎？

就像故事書結尾一樣 Braves 選到他們想要的 Heyward，老實說我很訝異他在今年的選秀落到這麼後面 (14th overall pick in the draft)，我大概會將他排在第八到第十，所以 Atlanta 選到他算賺到了。他一簽約就會是 top prospect，而且他可能成為勇士未來的第四棒。我喜歡他的揮棒動作 (swing)，我喜歡他在這個年紀所表現出來的耐心 (patience)，我喜歡他在防守位置上的運動性 (athleticism)。無論他未來擔任的是 LF、RF 甚至 1B，他都會在打擊上表現得不錯。Braves 的球迷應該會因為這個年輕人而感到很興奮。

6) 過去二年誰是比較好的第 22 輪 draft-and-follow 選進來的新秀：Tommy Hanson 還是 Cole Rohrbough？

我不喜歡這個問題。因為 Braves 很幸運能同時擁有這二位球員，所以誰比較好有什麼重要？這二個都很不錯，但我想你會看到 Hanson 的排名在今年冬天時會比較高，因為他的身材比較好 (a larger body of work)。他在 High-A 的控球不太好，導致被擊出一些全壘打和過多的保送，但是我喜歡他的身材 (body) 和球威 (stuff)。我曾拿他和 Adam Wainwright 做比較並得到類似的結果。至於 Rohrbough 可能排名在他之後，但我認為他有高於 Hanson 的發展上限 (ceiling)，因為像他一樣既有不錯的曲球、又能投出 mid-90 速球，還加上第三種有效球路的左投並不多，他是個比剛丟出去交易的 Matt Harrison 好很多的潛力新秀。若你要我從這二位中選一個比較喜歡的，我想我大概會選擇 Rohrbough，但這二個都不會讓你失望。

7) 選一個我們應該持續關注，並在明年球季會有很大突破的 Braves 新秀。

今年開始把 draft-and-follow 這種選秀方式取消之後，未來不再有 22 輪後持續追蹤再簽約 (follow-throughs) 的情況。但再提一次，Braves 在這次選秀中段順位的選擇非常棒，勇士球迷開始看到 Brandon Hicks 在低階小聯盟展現過人的運動天份 (athleticism)；雖然 Cory Gearrin 碰到一點小挫折但仍然能夠三振對手，他應該也會很快升上大聯盟。而我最想推薦的是第七輪選進來的南卡羅來納球員 Travis Jones，他沒有像 Hicks 那麼好的運動性但也不差，而且擁有優異的耐心 (patience) 和對二壘手來說不錯的長打能力 (power)，他的體型讓人想起站守二壘的 Josh Barfield，我認為他明年球季真的將會有所突破。另外，我並未將 Eric Campbell 完全排除在潛力新秀之外，如果他明年離開 1A+ Myrtle Beach 後並開始打出一些漂亮成績時，我也不會訝異。

New home run king (*)

San Francisco Giants Barry Bonds hits his 756th career home run in the fifth inning of their baseball game against the Washington Nationals in San Francisco, Tuesday, August 7, 2007.

Bud Selig 未親自出席，打了通電話給 Bonds，隨後發布一份聲明：
"While the issues which have swirled around this record will continue to work themselves toward resolution, today is a day for congratulations on a truly remarkable achievement," Selig said in a statement, released after he spoke to Bonds by telephone.

Hank Aaron 也如同之前說的沒興趣參加，但 Hammer 還是有份事先錄好的恭賀：
"It is a great accomplishment which required skill, longevity and determination," Aaron said in his message. "Throughout the past century, the home run has held a special place in baseball and I have been privileged to hold this record for 33 of those years. I move over now and offer my best wishes to Barry and his family on this historic achievement.

"My hope today, as it was on that April evening in 1974, is that the achievement of this record will inspire others to chase their own dreams," he said.

自己的紀錄被打破時 Aaron 在做什麼？

A woman who answered the phone at Aaron's home in Georgia shortly after Bonds' homer said that Aaron was asleep.

Hank Aaron is damn cool!

8/2 Astros (12) @ Braves (11)

Rafael Soriano 第八局被 Mike Lamb 轟了一支追平滿貫砲，歷史馬上回溯到 2005 年的第一輪季後賽，十八局的痛苦記憶又回來了，雖然最後以輸球收場，但仍然是一場非常精采的比賽 (Box Score)。Jo-Jo Reyes 在賽後被派到 3A Richmond，取代五號先發的則是 Lance Cormier。如果 Braves 能擠進季後賽，Smoltz and Hudson 掛頭牌、Chucky or Carlyle 頂三號，先發投手只要保持健康，沒什麼大問題；但目前排名還落後的情況下 everygame count，必須爭取每一場獲勝的可能，希望最後不是因為五號先發的崩盤，成為季末飲恨的決定性因素。

近來習慣把延長賽的 Game Graph 自 FanGraphs 轉錄過來，原因除了比較精彩刺激外，所謂的 high leverage 情況也會特別多，看著如同心電圖的 Winning Probability，希望自己能看到 MLB.TV 或 Recap 外更清楚的比賽狀況。

今天的 Game Graph (referred to FanGraphs)


Braves WPA leader: Matt Diaz .530 (Mark Teixeira .183)
Goat: Chipper Jones -.397 (Rafael Soriano -.352, Jo-Jo Reyes -.341, Kelly Johnson -.250)
Most decisive play: Chipper grounded into double play in the 14th inning.
Most decisive pitch: After Harris made an error, Soriano allowed Mike Lamb to hit a game tying grand slam in the 8th inning.
Total contribution by the hitters: .106
Total contribution by the pitchers: -.606

Rafael Soriano 目前 1.69 HR/9 是 MLB 六年以來最差的一季，其實對手的打擊率並不高 (.179 vs. left, .212 vs. right)，7.88 K/9 和 2.06 BB/9 也算不錯，本季至今 48 局的投球應該也還說不上過度使用，從 MLB.TV 看起來球速還有、但沒什麼 movement，而今天被轟了滿貫砲後又連續解決後三名打者 (2 SO)，Damn, it's hard to observe a reliever.

BTW, from the WPA's point of view, it's Chipper's worst game this season.
