Boone Logan

Boone Logan, who? I have been a braves fan all my life (24 years). It is hard for me to think of a promising young left handed reliever the Braves have had going into the season (Macay McBride possibly-but after many chances he could not piece it all together to be successful). Left-handed relief pitching seems to be the Braves achilles heel come all-star break and the Braves are left to scramble to find a left handed set-up man. 2007 dawned the likes of Ron Mahay in the Tex trade, who left at the end of the season. Those of you who think of 2006 may be thinking of Mike Remlinger-All Star-HE WAS OLD!!! I'm talking promising prospect laiden left-handed arm that the Braves could use for years to come. Will Ohman-bye bye...Mahay-bye bye...Ray King-bye bye...
Boone Logan was the other name in the highly touted Javier Vazquez trade and just as equally important. I don't think the Braves need Wil Ohman-especially with their budget.
Give the kid a chance. It's only spring training and of all the options he's the best.

Boone Logan - 4.26 ERA
Eric O'Flaherty - 14.21 ERA
Jeff Ridgway - 40.50 ERA

Is the ERA the best? Of course not, the man is only 24 years old and learning how to pitch more and more each day.

My point is...BELIEVE IN THIS GUY!!!...For the money, he is the best and only option.
