Balta1701 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 20, 2011 -> 04:52 PM) Per Rotoworld David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that the Braves "could be close to making a deal for a right-handed bat." CQ perhaps? Said this in MLB thread. If the Braves are close now, it's not for Quentin. KW won't sell off this soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KW won't sell off this soon. I wouldn't consider swapping Quentin for a major league starter (Beachy) so we can get Viciedo a spot in the lineup a sign of "giving up". I think Viciedo can provide just as much offense as Quentin is right now, and having Beachy can allow Kenny to move a SP for maybe a few good relievers or at least some prospects.

Indeed. Although I sincerely believe he'd hit for a bit more power in AL parks like the cell instead of pitcher parks in 3 of 4 NL West parks. Plus, Rowand's just a great f***ing guy and a guy who gets it. Rios is s*** and a waste of time. He was a gamble to begin with and it failed. I'd love to have Rowand back instead of his s***.
