great f'ing deal. we had to make some sort of move with Chipper gone.

Lee puts adds a much need change to our line-up. He's still a very solid hitter, and somebody that can give pitchers fits. We're getting him at the right time too. His bat is really popping right now.

Glaus is going on the DL. Will go to Gwinnett on a rehab after a week off and work out at third base. Can play both 1st and 3rd in Sept.

Kudos to Glaus for accepting this and agreeing to becoming a role player. A refreshed Glaus in September could win some games for this team.

HOWEVER: I have suspicion that this will mean no September call-up for Freeman. I don't know if the Braves would want to start Freeman's service time clock and guarantee that he'll have Super Two status if he makes the team out of spring training.

as much as i'd love to see Freeman up here, i'm perfectly fine with him staying down in the minors. he seemed to struggle making the transition to AAA, so i'd hate to see him lose confidence if he were to struggle at the MLB level. no need in rushing him if we have 1B solidified (assuming Lee's back holds up).

I'm hoping that the time off will help Glaus get his knees strong enough to provide us with great flexibility down the stretch and in the playoffs. If he can play half as good as he did in May & Lee play like he has been lately, we will be awesome.

I believe that it would be more like Glaus at 3rd, Prado at 2nd and Omar in LF.

Wow negged for being correct. I guess some people just can't stand being wrong. :wub:

pretty sure Wren said Lee will play 3rd. at least that's what i heard on braves live. No way could glaus play third, he can barely walk.
