Bring up Charlie Morton.
I’m no professional, but I think he’s about ready.
Earlier this week I mentioned him and his stats have only improved since that time. Now 2-0 in eight appearances, Morton’s era has dropped down a bit more to 1.69.
On the season Morton’s only walked 15 batters in 48 innings pitched, given up only 30 hits for a total nine earned runs. Strike outs? 39 isn’t very shabby for eight appearances, averaging around six an outing. Need I mention of those nine earned runs, none of them have been due to a homerun Morton’s given up…point being no one’s been able to hit it over the fences against him.
Just a thought girls, he’s 6′4, 24 years old and no reports of a relationship.

Hasta luego Chuck James? Bienvenue Charlie Morton?

Is he even in AAA yet? I don’t think he is. And we need much more than a young kid on the mound.
Comment by bravesnuworld May 15, 2008 @ 11:40 pmWell Chuck isn’t cutting it, Smoltz is headed to relief, I personally don’t foresee much in the baseball future of Mike Hampton, and all of that leaves us with a hole. I’m just saying maybe a new baby brave could juice up the roster, although I am no expert.

Ashley, but you also want to make out with him, right?
Seriously, you do make some sense, but the Braves would be better served making a move before the trade deadline if they can remain close in the hunt for the division title or playoff spot. RIght now, they look more like a tee-ball team.
Comment by bravesnuworld May 16, 2008 @ 8:34 pmhaaa haa, surely you aren’t one of those on the bandwagon for a Maddux trade? I hardly believe he would add much to the team except maybe more warm bodies in the stands.
