still waiting

Mississippi Braves manager Phillip Wellman expressed his frustration with his club’s anemic attack after a tough loss Friday night, calling it “embarrassing” in a published report. Meanwhile, at Class A Myrtle Beach — which won 11-1 Friday — there sits left fielder/DH Cody Johnson, Atlanta’s No. 1 pick in 2006, who’s hitting .268 with 20 homers and 48 RBIs. As for those two Top 10 prospects, first baseman Freddie Freeman is hitting .318 with six homers and 33 RBIs and right fielder Jason Heyward is at .293, 10, 26 (in 43 games). Any of the three would be an upgrade to the M-Braves’ current lineup. When will Atlanta’s brass make a move with one or more of them? Sure, they’re being patient, but they’ve got to be considering it now.
P.S. The Tampa Bay Rays have activated Chad Bradford, the submarine-style reliever from Byram, Hinds CC and Southern Miss. Bradford has been out all season after elbow surgery in February. He posted a 1.42 ERA for the American League pennant winners last season.
