What is it, and why do you feel it's the Braves' most pressing need? Is there really any way Larry can be more clutch or something? Personally, I would have gone with "a centerfielder", seeing as how Mark Kotsay went down with a back injury back on May 25 (surprise, surprise), and will probably be out for a while...

They keep losing the close ones, esp. on the road. If they had a guy with some wheels who could pinch hit/run and then steal late in the game, there are plenty of candidates in the lineup to knock him in. BTW, Chipper Jones got IBBed yesterday w/a runner on first when the Braves were up by only a run. Almost can't blame Ned Yost, as Larry Wayne is having an unreal season. And then Teixiera made them pay w/a 3-run HR. It was awesome. In addition to more home games, how bout the Braves going after some speed and a willingness to play small ball?
