Laughs and people wondered why Boston was talking trade getting rid of Coco.....


Anyways wonders what the Braves are going get in return?

I can answer that..screwed!!! again

It seems that the intent of Braves management is to cash out, with Bobby Cox as the on-field pawn.You could see it in the demeanors of the players who tried to win earlier. I'm sick of their absolute managing to lose.

did he start for the braves?

Mornin' BR549!! Maybe not.....we'll take Jacoby Ellsbury for Kotsay. LMAO

Most of the time in center. Great defense also, and very good at hitting in accordance with the baserunner situation - ie: a team player. Obviously, that's not what they want, but instead want the local playboys who smile when they strikeout with runners on.

Finally, a thread about the 2007 (and contending) Boston Red Sox...

See- when a guy loses to Becca- no matter how nice he is to her when she loses she makes him wear schmucks like this...
<------
<insert deep dramatic sigh here>

should be a good pick up? does anyone know if drew being on the DL going to effect his status for the post season?

A lot of teams are interested, so what? Red Sox are NOT getting this guy.

i saw it on espn last nite that the deal was done

I guess somebody didnt tell SI cuz as of 4:33 AM this deal is not done.

FanNation is always atleast a day behnd the rest of the world.

Kotsay's slightly above journeyman.... solid, but unspectacular, outfield play, above average hitter, but not a huge run producer. He was a one year bridge in Atlanta to allow a couple of prospects another season to be ready. He's nothing more than a stop gap for any team.

Whyd they get him in the first place....hes gonna be claimed by the phills and the soxs wont get him

If he goes to the sox he will be a bench rider once Drew comes back... "Which will be once they wrap up a post season berth and there will be no pressure on him to perform"

Wasn't there a thread about a week ago, talking about how the Braves wanted to keep Kotsay for 2009??

He's already cleared waivers.

Duh. Of course he is a stopgap. Whoever picks him up will only be doing so for 2008. Come on!

Yea scottc, you are right... that grandslam in game 6 of last years ALCS was certainly a no-pressure environment...
