Latest Braves updates

The Braves suffered a tough loss losing to the Reds 3 to 1 after a strong outing by Randall Delgado. Johnny Venters gave up two runs and suffered the loss. Coming into todays action though, Atlanta had just swept the St. Louis Cardnials, and are now a half game out of first place for the NL East. They howver have a big lead in the wildcard. In the Braves rumor mill, they signed 27 year old veteran Felix Pie, who has been hitting a .330 clip this year, and hit for the cycle in 2009 with the Baltimore Orioles. When deemed ready to come to the bigs, Pie will serve as a bench player providing speed, and many starts giving guys like Prado, Bourn, or Heyward the day off. Agent Scott Boras has indeed spoken to Frank Wren about resigning a red hot Micheal Bourn. A deal is very well possible, but more likely when the season comes to a halt. If a contract can be signed the Braves are looking at a 5 year 60 millon dollar deal which could conceal the arguabely best leadoff hitter in the bigs. Your thoughts? Comment below, and GO BRAVES!!!

The Braves had an ugly start to their 2012 Season Campaign. Although, after an 0 and 4 start, they have gone 14 and 5. They stand half a game out of first place. The Nationals hold a 0.5 game lead at 14 and 8. Atlanta has seen some great production out of their lineup. The biggest asset has been Micheal Bourn who is now batting .338 after a slow 3 for 24 start. Freddie Freeman is still clobbering the ball as well. The Braves start a 3 games series tonight as the Phillies come to town. First pitch is at 7, and Brandon Beachy (2-1) 1.05 ERA goes againt Cole Hamels (3-1) 2.73 ERA. If your curious about potential trades for the Braves, as of now it looks like we will wait to deal until July.

1. B.J Upton
2. Juan Pierre

4. Chris Young
We all hope Bourn comes back, but this is a bunch of guys the Braves like and you could see one in a Braves uniform in July! GO BRAVES!!
