"He Hit That To The Sun!": Braves at Marlins Open
Thread

post from Talking Chop on 06 June 2012 07:01:30 PM. © Talking Chop

Fresh off an 11-0 whipping of the Marlins last night, the Braves will try to win the series tonight behind Randall Delgado. Opposing Delgado for the Marlins is Josh Johnson. Johnson has not performed up to the lofty standards of his last few years, but has nevertheless been a solid presence in the Miami rotation this year. Over the last 3 years, Johnson has posted a 2.09 ERA against Atlanta with 51 strikeouts in 43 innings. Patience will be key for the Braves again today.

Braves Lineup:

Michael Bourn, CF
Martin Prado, 3B
Brian McCann, C
(His name is) Dan Uggla, 2B
Freddie Freeman, 1B
Jason Heyward, RF
Andrelton Simmons, SS
Randall Delgado, P
Jose Constanza, LF

Marlins lineup after the jump...Marlins Lineup:

Jose Reyes, SS
Omar Infante, 2B
Hanley Ramirez, 3B
Giancarlo Stanton, RF
Logan Morrison, 1B
Justin Ruggiano, LF
Bryan Peterson, CF
John Buck, C
Josh Johnson, P

Houston Astros Sign First 2012 MLB Draftee And
Have Agreement In Place With First Overall Pick Carlos Correa

post from The Crawfish Boxes on 06 June 2012 07:01:30 PM. © The Crawfish Boxes

To the twitter feed!

Astros owner Jim Crane says team has verbal agreement on contract with top overall pick Carlos Correa.
— Brian McTaggart (@brianmctaggart) June 6, 2012

All that it appears left to do is for Carlos Correa to come to town and complete his physical. Word is he'll be in town tomorrow, Thursday. The numbers I keep seeing reported are 4.5M to 5M which is well below the 7.2M slot. This will allow Luhnow some flexibility in reallocating some of the draft pool money to later picks that are deemed hard signs. You can read our profile of Correa here.

That wasn't the only news though, back to the twitter feed!

Astros sign third round Draft pick RHP Brady Rodgers. About to sign contract as we tweet, in fact. Entire family here to watch.
— Alyson Footer (@alysonfooter) June 6, 2012

Brad Rodgers is a huge Astros fan so it's no surprise that he signed so quickly. He tweeted earlier that he would be attending the game tonight so look for some shots from him and maybe a visit to the broadcast booths?

I'll have my GIFatron 2000 up and running Brady so no picking your nose. You can read our profile of Brady Rodgers here.

In other news, Scott Boras is not pleased with how the draft went down:

"There was all forms of artificial behavior in the draft,'' Boras told USA TODAY Sports. "The purpose of the draft is that it's supposed to create parity in the game. You want teams with the greatest needs to get the best available talent."

"That has not been achieved in this draft."

"It's created a mockery.''

Rivera To Have Surgery Next Tuesday

Mariano Rivera told the media today that he will have surgery on his torn ACL next Tuesday. Here's a little more on the story from Dan Martin:

The surgery will be performed at Hospital for Special Surgery by Dr. David Altchek. Rivera said he isn?t concerning himself with an exact timetable after the procedure.

?I don?t want to have that,? said Rivera, who learned that the clot was gone last week. ?I don?t want to put in my mind a line. When the Lord permits it to be ready, it will be ready.?
And while he isn?t concerning himself with the possibility of returning this season, he hasn?t completely ruled it out.

?I don?t want to think about it,? Rivera said. ?Again, miracles happen. I just have to be able to do what I was doing before. That?s what I want.?
