      It isn't how we (Braves fan) envisioned things either.

          From what I understand, PED's helping you hit better is a myth. Just ask all the balcoboy, braun and a-roid fans

              I don't think he looks like a roid guy more than anyone else. He had his good years (and all of his years, I think) after PED testing was put in place. So, if he was able to use them without detection previously, I don't know why he still wouldn't do it. His problem was that he was a fringe talent (Rule 5 pick years ago) who sold out for power, with a decent eye, but really iffy contact---he had old man skills (and crappy defense) when he was young. That set doesn't age well. Lots of Braves fans (I was on the fence, we needed RH power then, and he wouldn't have signed the extention without this length of contract) saw this coming. Someone might pick him up, hell Toronto looks like an obvious destination, with their injuries and ability to magically help iffy power hitters, but I think he's finished.

                He's a piece of bread that's been in a toaster too long.
                Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?

                  Bat speed is gone. He has to cheat to hit fastballs so he's susceptible to anything with a wrinkle or a change in speed
