Admin Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 For those wondering, he was released by the Braves today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramp Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 would rather see Chad Hermansen get a shot if we were going that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Wouldnt really call Borchard slumping, more like whats to be expected. Hermida being back negates Borchards impact anyway. If anything, Wilson could take 1B while Jacobs is out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of the Past Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Wilson blows He's having a tough year but he's does have a career .917 OPS vs lefties. I would grab him in a second especially if Cody will be out a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucklin12 Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Yeah, we have other more lively options in our system... no reason for it. Although, he would definitely be an upgrade from Borch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramp Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 why would he be an upgrade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pierremvp1 Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Loria: Do we have to pay this guy more than the league minimum? . Beinfest: Yes . Loria: Pass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbob1313 Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 why would he be an upgrade?  917 OPS vs lefties.  Mostly that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BullDurham Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 There's a reason Bucco fans call him "Hack Wilson". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CYmarlins Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 not that bad of an idea, could be floated around but i doubt that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucklin12 Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Even, now in his fading existence Craig Wilson will give you a slightly better average than Borch, with much better On Base Ability. You lose a very little bit in power maybe.... but he's also a veteran with a decent amount of Big League experience. Not to mention, he isn't Joe Borchard... which is a huge plus.

Sirspud Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Wilson can slug, but I doubt we bring him in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anotherrealfan Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 These type of players keep getting mentioned because of how Reggie-esque Borchard has become, worst than he used to be. Sure, Joe has a nice swing, sort of like my practice golf swings-I don't hit the ball either when I take a practice swing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramp Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Joe isn't an everyday player and I suspect his play improves now that he won't have to trot out there everyday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flasportsfan88 Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Wilson>Ross>JoBo>Reggie I doubt we'll do it, however. Wilson > Ross?, i feel Ross could play on alot of teams right now. He can play all 3 outfield positions, decent speed, good arm, Crushes leftys, good power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapeFish Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 I wouldn't mind having Craig Wilson on the bench. He can play first, catch, and do the outfield thing pretty well defensively. He's also not that bad a bat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricWiener Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 With Hermida back, the JoBo slump is at an end, he will only see play vs. RHP which will improve his numbers drastically. When DeAza gets back, we will be back to having a bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
