Focus on Maddux
A flurry of moves could come from the Braves, whose infield is particularly unsettled, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. "We know (Rafael) Furcal is going to be a shortstop, put it that way," GM John Schuerholz said, meaning no other infield job was firm. "We're trying to accumulate players at this point. We're not (setting the lineup) yet." Schuerholz wouldn't rule out anything, not even such a seemingly remote possibility as the return of free-agent first baseman Fred McGriff. The Braves could move left fielder Chipper Jones back to third and trade Vinny Castilla. Or move Jones to first and pursue an outfielder. |

NEYER: THE HIGHEST HONOR |
Considering the importance of a good pitching staff, and the apparent influence that a pitching coach can have on a pitching staff, don't you think there's room in the Hall for at least a couple of pitching coaches? Would it kill anybody to figure out a way to get Leo Mazzone and Johnny Sain into the Hall of Fame? |
