PrintHello I am an Atlanta Braves fan and thought i'd come and see your opinions of Micheal Brantley.
I don't know how your moderators feel about trade ideas but please don't delete this moderators.
The Braves need some spped and contact at the leafodd spot. I know Brantley can provide both of those, as he is great contact and very fast. I am wondering what you guys think of him. Can he make it? Is he only a 4th outfielder? etc...
What about a trade proposal of Melky Cabrera and Randal Delgado(look him up) for Brantley?????
I thinl it'd be a good idea, if you don't like it please tell me what you'd want from the Braves for Brantley IF anything
Thanks for your time :)

We’re looking for grammar, spelling, punctuation, capitalization… oh, wait. From the Braves? Nah, no thanks.
"Spring Training wins are good for the soul."
No need for disrespect
This is SBnation not the Wall Street Journal. Oh and if ur calling Braves fans dumb, well ur right about the 1/2 of the rednecks that love them. The rest of the fans(like me) are not like that. I was born in SoCal then raised in Athens(suburban atlanta) so i got to go to many games(my dad had season tickets and i have them now)
But please don’t disrespect me and the many other fans who are not rednecks, please go to town on rednecks i cant stand them and that’s why i live in the suburbs

Wait, this isn’t the Wall Street Journal? Really? Are you sure?
I don’t think we have any problem with rednecks. We just are one of the many sites where moronic “chat speak” is not appreciated.
“ur” perfectly capable of sounding like an idiot regardless of whether you live in the suburbs.

I tried asking the lady at the post office what the easiest way to send prison was — for some reason she looked at me like I was a redneck.

This is what’s bad about reading this site while my students are taking their exam — I start laughing out loud then I get a bunch of weird looks from them.

That seems to be a butterfly. They don’t eat, true, but there are plenty of nectar-loving moths and butterflies (even one species whose proboscis is designed to penetrate the aphid, whose inner fluids are then sucked out). Maybe the lettuce leaf was similar to the host plant for the caterpillar. Thanks for tuning in to LGT’s Lepidopterist Minute.
I actually wondered this too. I voted no, but I would do this trade in a heartbeat in the real world. Not that it matters or that it would even be offered.

Delgado is a solid prospect
but i think the braves could unload some on the many pitching prospects they have… Mike Minor, Arody Vizcano, Julio Teheran(top 10 prosect in 2011) and Delgado with Jurrjens and Hanson

Well, you come in here, make no attempt to recognize our site rules or customs — you clicked “I agree” to the rules and then immediately violated one of them. Then, you make no attempt to make your posts easy to read and understand by, you know, spelling things out and punctuating. You follow this up by whining when people ask you to observe our rules and customs. And then, the kicker, you lie to us, for no reason! What exactly have you done to deserve anyone’s respect?
Those who give respect, get respect. And yes, spelling and punctuation help, too.

Your team’s success is a credit to them, not you. Our care for and use of the English languange reflects well on us and is independent from the efforts of the Tribe. All you’ve proven is that you’re a moron who cheers for a good team. Congratulations.
Come on, four billion!

How much of Melky’s salary are you going to cover?
Kind of like buying low on him, but on the other hand, it sort of seems like poking at a dead animal.
Yeah, I voted no because a) Melky is either expensive already or will be soon and b) when I voted, I didn’t know who this Delgado fellow was. When I saw the #s (and when I realized he wasn’t a 1b like Carlos), I was a bit surprised.
So i guess u guys are pretty high on this guy
thanks for your insight i didn’t realize you guys liked him so much. Thanks for your time :)

You would have gotten more accurate results if you didn’t ask us a question which required us to do research
by silverbackAXP on May 13, 2010 3:14 AM EDT up reply actions
Why this assumption? Or do you know? Anyway, I looked then voted no. There’s no doubt that I’d be excited to have a guy with Delgado’s numbers. But didn’t we just go through the huge TINSTAPP discussion? I guess if the Braves were paying Melky…
I make the assumption because it’s kind of a no-brainer “Yes” if you know who the prospect is. Brantley’s a really nice prospect, and I guess deduct points from the pitcher for high attrition rates, but I still think it’s a quick “Yes.”
First, I actually didn’t even vote, so I’m a liar too. Second, the attrition rate for a high A pitcher has got to be so much higher than for Brantley, that I’m honestly surprised to hear you say it’s a no-brainer.
I admit that I’m skeptical now that Brantley’s swing will ever add Span like power. But are you reading more into his crappy start at the major league level? Are you counting Melky as a big contributor?
Am I the only one who voted no out of spite?

You can’t return a jacket out of spite.

From Thomas J. Clancy, Jr. v. Wanda T. King, Maryland Court of Appeals (2008):
In attempting to exercise his contractual discretion out of “spite,” Jerry breached his duty to act in good faith towards the other party to the contract. Jerry would have been authorized to return the jacket if, in his good faith opinion, it did not fit or was not an attractive jacket. He may not return the jacket, however, for the sole purpose of denying to the other party the value of the contract. Jerry’s post hoc rationalization that he was returning the jacket because he did not “want it” was rejected properly by Bob as not credible.Yes, that Tom Clancy. Wanda King was his wife.

Never mind, I read it myself.
For those curious, Clancy evidently was attempting to reduce the profits of the “Op Center” series of books by removing his name from future books. His only motivation for doing this, apparently, was to spite his ex-wife, who owned 50% of the franchise and apparently had done everything to create it other than lending the name “Tom Clancy” to it.
everything to create it
nothing?

Lawyers: is there actual legal basis here? I.e. this ‘good faith’ thing can be undone by uttering the word ‘spite’? Seems a bit ridiculous, doesn’t it?
by jakesinger777 on May 14, 2010 1:35 PM EDT up reply actions
It’s not the use of the word spite. Acting in good faith means you are acting upon a sincere belief or motive without any malice or the desire to defraud others. The argument with regard to Jerry is that he was returning the jacket solely for the purpose of depriving the seller of the benefit of the bargain (i.e. with malice). Clancy was acting to deprive his ex-wife of 50% of a profitable enterprise, not because he had any reason to take his name off those books.
I voted “no” out of spite for Melky Cabrera. I have an irrational dislike of that man.

Do the extra question marks imply some sort of urgency? Do the symbolize the ethereal nature of questions we ask here on Earth? I’m really confused on this one.
I know it’s crazyyyyyyy
(Confession: I don’t even know how to audibly read words like the above. Anyone have a teenager who types like this who can elucidate?)
Whoopsssssss
That one just ends with a hissing noise.
