Ok, I am not sure about you guys, but I am a frequent visitor and poster for Dave O'Brien's Braves beat blog for ajc.com. Recently he posted an interesting topic about a conversation he had with someone within the Braves organization that mentioned Furcal being a free agent and how possible it is that the Braves might be looking forward to bringing him back next year.....to play 2B. That is as far as he got in the blog about the conversation and though its only 27 games in, it does bring up something to think about later going into next season or even possibly the trade deadline should the Dodgers be out of it. The Braves are getting very little from Johnson at both 2B and leadoff. But anyway that is just my opinion. What do you guys think?

As much as I want Furcal, there is no way the Braves will pay Furcal 15 million a year.

Good thought though.

That would be nice if the Braves bring back Rafael Furcal they need him ,and should not let him go in the first place.

First you are correct in that the Braves will not pay Rafael Furcal that kind of money.

Second, why would they bring him back to play 2B?  He is a better defensive SS than Escobar who could move to 2B easily.  Furcal frequently amazes with his range and his arm is incomparable vs Escobar.  I love Yunel Escobar, but Furcal is the better SS.

Furcal is a better shortstop and is more experienced than Escobar.  If we got Furcal then we would move Kelly to the outfield.

If we get Furcal Kelly will be gone... But we wont to much money.  First they will try and sign tex if that doesnt hapen they might give some thought to Furcal, but honestly I think he will be over what the Braves are willing to pay.

Furcal is playing like an All-Star and will want All-Star money. We also have Tex we want to resign. Furcal would be a nice addition (If he continues to produce at the level he is now), but I am more concerned on keeping Tex over adding Furcal.
