• Hampton an Astro, again…

  Posted on Monday December 1st, 2008 at 23:09 in Atlanta Braves, braves, mike hampton, houston astros

  Well I guess this makes the poll that was in the right side bar kinda moot. Anyways, pending a physical Mike Hampton will be a member of the Houston Astros. Random Posts September 15, 2008 — Off Day Stuff (0) March 21, 2006 — Smoltz the ...

• Smoltz not to be offered arbitration

  Posted on Sunday November 30th, 2008 at 12:47 in John Smoltz, Julian Tavarez, Atlanta Braves, braves, mike hampton, jorge julio, tom glavine, elmer dessens, will ohman, greg norton, braves front office

  This really should be to much of a surprise really, he’s still rehabbing from surgery and who the hell knows when he’s going to be ready to pitch, and at what capacity (though I bank on late inning work out of the pen if he’s able t...

• Smoltz files for Free Agency

  Posted on Saturday November 1st, 2008 at 04:14 in John Smoltz, Atlanta Braves, braves, mike hampton, jorge julio, tom glavine, frank wren

  Not sure that it’s really a surprise, but Smoltzie filed for free agency (along with Jorge Julio - but who cares?). Most likely this is a leverage move, as Wren has stated over and over that the Braves want John back in a Tomahawk. I’m pr...

  Posted on Wednesday October 1st, 2008 at 05:00 in Atlanta Braves, mike hampton, administrivia, starting rotation

  Well it’s time to take a look at the poll results. For those that voted, the majority went with “Starting Rotation” followed by “Power Hitting Outfielder” and “Bullpen”. No one voted for making the bench a pr...

• Hampton to get final start of the season..

  Posted on Saturday September 27th, 2008 at 16:19 in Atlanta Braves, braves, mike hampton, houston astros, bobby cox, jair jurrjens

  All I can say is thank you sweet little baby Jesus. Honestly I didn’t want JJ starting his last one or this one, he’s 45 innings over his previous season high. No reason to go out and risk it, nothings on the line for JJ - so why not have...

• Braves scouting A.J. Burnett?

  In Olney’s latest blog (subscription required) he talks about Toronto Blue Jays pitcher AJ Burnett who ten days after the World Series can opt out of the rest of his contract with the Jays. The Jays are planning to approach him with a reworked ...

• Is starting Hampton today such a good idea?

  Posted on Saturday July 26th, 2008 at 05:00 in injuries, philadelphia phillies, John Smoltz, Atlanta Braves, braves, mike hampton, injury prone, jobu, jo jo reyes

  First let me just start off with, I’ll believe it when I see it. Hampton on the mound that is. But for arguments sake lets pretend nothing freakish happens between now and first pitch at 3:55pm this afternoon at Citizens Bank Ballpark. I’...

• Add more to the walking wounded

  Posted on Thursday July 24th, 2008 at 11:42 in injuries, Atlanta Braves, braves, mike hampton, chipper jones, tim hudson, jo jo reyes

  Even though the Braves escaped Florida with a series win, they didn’t escape unharmed. Chipper Jones pulled a hammy running out a ground ball, and arguably our staff ace had to leave during a game that he was dealing - with a tight pitching elb...
