DISQUS

I don't know if he's faking it, but there's really no incentive for him to play and (potentially) injure himself. The Braves are out of it, he's pretty much got the batting title, why even risk getting hurt in some freak accident while the weather's getting cold? I wouldn't be surprised if they give him the weekend off.

Besides, Prado has been doing a pretty damn good job covering for him.

The '87 Braves were before my time. Lucky me, looks like I'll get to witness them, after all.

While I like the lineup you posted, I think Bobby is going to have Francoeur batting fifth the majority of the time. That said, I still think they'd be better off with McCann there because he's a more consistent hitter.
