The Atlanta Journal-Constitution



Tuesday, January 13, 2009



The Braves finally have their ace.



They’ve agreed to terms with veteran pitcher Derek Lowe on a four-year, &#36;60 million contract, a person familiar with negotiations said this morning. The deal will be finalized after Lowe takes a physical Wednesday.

The Braves are on the verge of a major offseason upset.



Rafael Furcal is coming home.



In a stunning turnaround, the free-agent shortstop has chosen the Braves over the A's, according to a major-league source.



A contract agreement is expected to be announced Tuesday, conditional on Furcal passing a physical.



Furcal would play shortstop or second base for the Braves, depending upon which other moves the team makes.

By Mark Bowman / MLB.com



ATLANTA -- Braves general manager Frank Wren would like to find the individual who cursed the projected starting rotation that he carried into this season. Following the same path previously traveled by John Smoltz, Tom Glavine and Mike Hampton, Tim Hudson now potentially has a serious injury.

The Braves scored 27 runs during this past weekend's series in Philadelphia and won just once.  Things certainly might have been different had they had Chipper Jones and Jason Bay in their lineup.



Jones was sidelined by a strained left hamstring and Bay was stuck in Pittsburgh because Pirates ownership was reluctant to move him. 



Before the start of Friday's game, many of the Braves players were asking about Bay.  Some were under the impression that they  ...</description>

			<description>Francoeur returns to action

Right fielder shows no effects from being hit by pitch

By Mark Bowman / MLB.com  



LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- Jeff Francoeur didn't have any success during his return to the lineup. But then again, the only Brave who has had any sort of luck against the Tigers' Justin Verlander over the past two years is Chipper Jones. 

Whereas Jones continued his success against Verlander in Thursday night's 3-2 win over the Tigers at Disney's Champion Stadium, the evening's  ...</description>

			<description>Braves get Ohman, Infante from Cubs

Ken Rosenthal

FOXSports.com, Updated 13 minutes ago 	



The Braves, filling their need for a left-handed reliever, have acquired Will Ohman and infielder Omar Infante from the Cubs for Class AA reliever Jose Ascanio, according to major-league sources.



The deal, first reported by ESPN Radio in Chicago, creates payroll flexibility for the Cubs for other pursuits. Ohman is under contract for $1.6 million next season while Infante is projected to receive  ...</description>

			<description>Sources: A's to trade outfielder Kotsay to Braves for pitcher Devine



The Atlanta Braves have reached a preliminary agreement to acquire center fielder Mark Kotsay from the Oakland Athletics, filling the hole created by the departure of Andruw Jones. The deal will be finalized once Kotsay passes a physical for Atlanta, where he is expected to fly to on Sunday, and assuming the commissioner's office approves the cash negotiated to be exchanged in the deal, sources say.



In return for Kotsay,  ...</description>

Braves cautiously optimistic lefty will be part of rotation in '08

By Mark Bowman / MLB.com



ATLANTA -- Mike Hampton's critics and doubters have reason to get a little louder. What Hampton and the Braves had hoped would be a successful stint in the Mexican Winter League instead became a very brief one interrupted by yet another injury.



Fortunately, this latest injury has nothing to do with the left elbow that has sidelined him for each of the past  ...</description>

			<description>This is somewhat impressive...

 

In 1995 (strike-shortened year) he went 19-2 with a 1.63 ERA (262 ERA+), 0.811 WHIP, 0.99 BB/9IP, 181:23 (7.87:1) K:BB ratio.

 

He did all that averaging 86.57 pitcher per start (69.6% strikes) and 7.49 innings per start (11.43 pitcher per inning). 

 

He only gave up 4 or more ER twice in 28 starts (only 38 ER total). In 9 or his starts he allowed 0 ER, 10 of his starts he allowed 1 ER. Basically in 67.9% of his starts he gave up 1 or 0 ER. That's  ...</description>

			<description>Braves make strong offer to bring Glavine back to Atlanta

 

ATLANTA -- The Braves made an offer to Tom Glavine on Friday, moving quickly to lock up a deal that will allow the left-hander to finish his career in Atlanta. 

 

Just two days after meeting with Glavine's agent in Phoenix, Braves general manager Frank Wren proposed a contract to the 41-year-old pitcher, who likely will command somewhere between $8 million and $10 million for the 2008 season. 

 

The two sides seem to be moving  ...</description>

ATLANTA -- There was a cloud swirling over Turner Field on Thursday afternoon, but it wasn't one of mystery and controversy. Instead, it was one born of energy and enthusiasm.



As reported earlier in the day, longtime general manager John Schuerholz, the longest-tenured GM in baseball, is out as GM. But he also is in as team president. Frank Wren, who served  ...</description>
