So the Braves OF is now going to be Mallex, Inciarte, and Markakis? Reminds me of the '80s Cards, but Freddie Freeman ain't Jack Clark.

I love the Braves thinking here. The OF defense is going to be very good and Mallex is cutting his teeth and has improved over the last 10 days. Not sure Adonis is considered part of the future here and while I definitely understand the argument of him staying over Brigand, I don't think he would've played much anyway.After former Broncos quarterback Brian Griese sprained his ankle and said he was tripped on the stairs of his home by his golden retriever, Bella: “The dog stood up on his hind legs and gave him a push? You might want to get rid of that dog, or put him in the circus, one of the two.”

Is Mallex Smith now the premiere option for steals now? Billy Hamilton can't hit and has only attempted 5 steals and Dee Gordon won't be back for a while. Right now Altuve leads the majors with 10 SB which is legit but right behind him is Ellsbury who's already hurt.
It'll all depend on:
- can Mallex hit himself
- can he improve on his success rate
- will the Braves give him enough of a leash where he's not in danger of going back to AAA
They already wised up and started hitting him 9th instead of 8th but his value would really jump if they moved him to the top of the lineup although I'm not sure they want to start with 4 lefties (Smith, Inciarte, Markakis, and Freeman).

Any thoughts on Bonifacio? Will he play enough to produce SB? And if so at what position?
And I forgot about Revere, he probably has a better chance at leading the league in steals going forward than steals, but maybe not...

Surprised that nobody mentioned manager Fredi Gonzalez getting fired.
Apparently, Gonzalez found out he was fired when he got his flight confirmation via e-mail. The flight was back to Atlanta before the series in Pittsburgh had finished. The Braves booked his flight the night before the planned firing and didn't realize Fredi would get an e-mail. Ooops!

interesting contrast in the Was-Atl game tonight: both starting pitchers have the same ERA, 2.81 ... Tanner Roark is 13-6 for Was, Julio Teheran is 3-9 for Atl.It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.
