Braves to expand payroll in 2013, target "premium" free agents:

Braves GM Frank Wren told reporters today that the Braves look to be increasing payroll in 2013 and plan to be "much more aggressive" on the free agent market this offseason, going after premium players. Wren did qualify that, saying they don't plan to go "outrageous" with any one player in particular. The Braves are more likely to go for two high-salaried players than one with an enormous price tag. Wren said the current top priority is re-signing Michael Bourn.

Josh is yours!

 

[Windu]

Have about 25 million from chipper and lowe coming off the books. Makes sense. Lots of pay increases though.

 

[Malo]

Congrats on signing Hamilton, Atlanta.

I approve of this.

Braves have asked for all the coaches back. Boooooo

One of the best managers in baseball goes to a team that won't spend a lot and their farm system isn't very good? That's fine with me.

The Braves aren't going for Josh Hamilton. The guy they've really wanted is B.J. Upton.

Because of new TV deals, teams will be getting $20 million more from MLB.

 

[cashman]

[Lambtron]

Why spend money on free agents, Wren? Span for Medlen!

 

[JABEE]

I'm sure it was directed at someone.

I can't wait to watch some more playoff baseball tonight.

I don't believe it was even directed at another board member. I believe he shouted it in the middle of a wrestling match. It's a shame. We'll never hear from the Frankman again.

Edit: I guess it was directed at someone.

Yankees announced the rotation for the Bal series.

Game 1- CC

Smart to have Andy go game 2, I like him on the road.

There is no way the Yankees are pitching Hughes if they're down 2-1.

Frankman was actually quoting a Botchamania video rather than directing an insult towards someone, but out of context, yeah, it looks alot different.

Either way, should've used more common sense.

 

[Malo]

Yeah, CC will pitch on short rest if needed.

Does anyone know what the seating capacity of Oakland Coliseum is in baseball configuration with the tarps removed?

Coco wat? lol

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Yessss. This cold weather has me worried with Ces' hammy.

 

[Heart Attack]

Coco Crisp has turned out to be a great player. I used to hate his ass when he was with the red sox.

 

[darkside31337]

rip tigers

 

[Windu]

.

I calculated the braves payroll out to about 71 million. That is without Chipper, Lowe, Hanson, Jurrjens and all other FAs besides Bourn who I just gave a salary of 12 million. (exercised the options) 1st year arbitration players I gave a 300% increase, other arbitration players I gave a 30% increase and just players under minimum or whatever I gave a 20% increase.

 

[beast786]

1st inning has been JV Achilles .

 

[Tobor]

This Quad cam view is crazy. Very cool.

 

[xbhaskarx]

Verlander pitch count up to 75 when you include throws to first base

 

[Sanjuro]

Coco Crisp has turned out to be a great player. I used to hate his ass when he was with the red sox.

I wouldn't say he is a great player. Certainly an asset.

 

[eznark]

Fielder has doubled in size

Only problem is no replays.

True. Still, this is pretty dang cool. AirPlay works for this, so I have the game on the TV, and all the stats and stuff on the iPad.
