Catcher’s Blog

First off, something that my friend directed to my attention, the 2009 Projected Roster from SoxProspects.com. See image below.

Jumping the gun much? I know the Red Sox were one of the teams trying to acquire Ohman at the deadline, but seriously, that’s kind of wishful thinking to me. He’s a free agent and who knows? There’s a slight possibility the Braves still might re-sign him. I’m not saying we will, because he will be demanding a lot, but who’s to say Boston will be the team to sign him if he does venture into free agency? I just thought it was kind of overreaching, but then again, it is a fansite after all.

This got me thinking about next season, and while this season isn’t over yet, it kind of is in a way. Moving on, I thought it would be kind of cool to kind of predict how the roster will look next season. Of course, I’m biased on some of the players, who could blame me, but I will do my best not to be biased on most of them. I will state my opinions on them and what not, though. This will be written later on, though.

I’m venturing to the last game at The Ted on Sunday to see the Braves take on the Mets. Let’s hope it’s a good outcome and I will make a review post with pictures sometime next week. Look out for it.

While I won’t do this a lot, I kinda got the idea for this from Lauren at Braves Love, since she’s known for her frequent photo analysis and gay lumberjack posts. My photo analysis posts will probably not be half as entertaining and funny as Lauren’s, but I thought I’d try something different on here. I thought I’d post this anyway because it seemed somewhat funny to me when I saw it last night.

Ok, my comments on this picture are probably relatively noticeable. 1) Since when did Mac turn into Blanco? 2) Last time I checked, Blanco wasn’t a catcher. I can understand a common misconception between players when you can’t really see their faces very well, but this is just too obvious to mess up. It’s funny how sites get the players wrong more often than not lately. Although, I’m sure that being called Blanco would be a compliment to Mac, speed-wise anyway.
