Renteria

[jwkfs]

I think everyone is aware of his 24 game hitting streak, but I just noticed that Renteria is leading the NL in batting average with a .358 BA! Another great move by Schuerholz. This trade has turned out spectacular for the Braves; Marte might still be a star down the line, but Renteria is performing now and at a position that needed filling -- not at 3rd, where Chipper will be entrenched for the next few years.

Edit: McCan is tied for 3rd in NL BA after Brad Hawpe. Estrada has been on a tear recently and I know we all hope things go well for him, but the Estrada for Cormier and Villareal trade turned out great too, with McCan taking over as the primary catcher.

This trade just shows the expertese of Schueholz once again, in brief. He had a brief hic-cup with Dan Kolb but otherwise what moves has he made that have blown up in his face?

And imagine if he could hold that .350 clip all year long in the two hole. Whew!!! How could our offense not produce. I hope the Mets fans rest easy as long as they can before we begin creeping.:gt ;) :D

Jermaine Dye (and Jamie Walker) for Michael Tucker (and Keith Lochart) back in 1997? ;)

I'm just picking with you, but Capellan hasn't done much for the Brewers yet, so you can't really tell how bad that deal was until Capellan has played more.

Well tonight the streak comes to a close. Congrats Edgar on a career high 24 games hit streak.
