Fun to watch a live game that had 23 runs, 30+ hits and prob 7-8 HRs even if it started late and didn't end til ~1 in the morn. Sun trust is a hitters park.

What 500 people showed up to watch?

Thats the kinda guy you want on your team.

I like Freeman and Adams but if you can trade 1 of them for a solid starting pitcher than that might be the way to go.I don't look for Freeman to be on fire when he comes back,I mean it is a broken wrist.No way his torque and power are gonna be right where it was prior to getting hurt.The experiment at 3rd is worth a try,in the American league they would be a front runner with the DH in place.

Absolutely going to be the case with him. Can he make the consistent throws, can he cover slow rollers, bunts etc. Most 3rd baseman are converted SS, and I don't see Freddie playing shortstop anytime soon. He is a absolute great 1st baseman and you love a guy who is a team 1st ball player. I've always been a fan of his even though he's a Cali kid.

I will take so,so defense as long as he keeps hitting what he was hitting before he got hurt. He played 3rd in high school and I believe he will throw fine. But I look for him to struggle a while at the plate when he comes back...which may lead to a short leash with him. Make no mistake, he will play 3rd when he comes back...this is not a stunt.

I would think that when the Braves are out of the pennant chase to even the most optimistic, Adams would make great trade bait to an AL team looking for a DH. In return, the Braves could ask for a young SP super prospect.

TEAM player, he just wants what is best for the team. Can't ask much more from a player. I think he will do fine at 3b after a couple of weeks to get his legs and arm adjusted. He did play 3b at one time. I agree, I think Braves are shopping for quality pitching and someone is trade bait ( Adams, Phillips ).

There's no way they trade Philips,he's hitting and playing solid D.

I say give up Julio Tehran and Matt Kemp...I feel Kemp is fixing to tank...just a hunch. Tehran is just not good at baseball and even worse at home.

Kemp is strong trade bait when they are out of contention. He has proven this year that he can be an asset when he's healthy. A team needing a bat during a pennant chase would take him. I'd keep Tehran. He is still young enough and shows flashes of brilliance at times. If he could ever figure out how to get through the first couple of innings unscathed, he'd be tough. Seems he is always going into the 3rd inning down 3-0. Sometimes the bats come back for him, sometimes they don't.

Activated from DL and starting at 3rd tonight.
