Big fan of Gonzo, and excited to see he will perform with a full, healthy season in Atlanta. Establishing the set-up guys will be huge. We know the majority of our starters are going to eat up innings. If we can turn each outing into a 7-inning game like the Phillies did last year ,we will stay in the mix all season. We must win the 1-run games this year to compete, which is something that plagued the Braves all of '08.

It's worth a shot at giving him the league minimum. He wants to be here. Andruw is still relatively young - I think at times we forget this because he has been around for so long. Hidden somewhere within that overweight body is a ton of talent. If he can hit .260 with 80-90 RBI and play a solid CF, this is a HUGE upgrade from what we have currently. Maybe I'm a bit optimistic, but there's little risk involved in at least seeing how he shows up to camp. I'm not so sure I get the "Sharp Tongue" reference - when have you heard him run his mouth? Great site, by the way - I found this last week on mlbtraderumors.com.
