Atlanta Braves Shake Things up with Bold Moves
06/07/2009
Spent four seasons with the Atlanta Braves Radio Network, reporting on each game for our flagship websites and helping produce the Pre-Game show at Turner Field. Some of my favorite experiences with Braves Radio include writing a look back on Atlanta's 14-consecutive Divisional Titles that was voiced by longtime Braves broadcaster Skip Caray as part of a one-hour retrospective in 2006. That same year I had the opportunity to take part in ESPN Classic's "Top 5 Reason You Can't Blame," as they focused on Bobby Cox.
Thanks to BR, I recently interviewed Knicks legend Earl Monroe. Here is what he had to say on a variety of topics, including the current state of the Knicks!

Apologies for the blast promotion, but this is less about getting my article out as it is about getting this kid's story to the masses.
He's been facing long odds since HS and continues to prove he belongs—having just been drafted by the SF Giants in the 36th round. Now, he's got another improbable climb to the Show, but he sounds like the kind of guy we should be rooting for:

Grant,
Thank you for helping out with this roundtable, I think it looks great since we have a lot of the top Braves writers in on it. If there are any changes that you want to make, feel free to edit it. For the most part, I kept everything as you said it, although I tried to clean up certain things in spelling or grammar. Anyway, if you see anything that you want to comment on about other writers things, we will try to get a discussion started in the comments and hopefully get some other members of the community involved as well. Great work, and thanks again for your help.

Yeah, I made a mistake when I was typing it and left out a letter. Sorry about that. The correct email is baseballbrett13@comcast.net. Originally I left the second c in comcast out.

Hey, I was wondering if you had any comments on the signing of Anderson today. If you do, you can just send them to me when you e-mail me the answers to the discussion questions and I will include them. If its possible, could you get the answers to me sometime this week, I would like to try and have the article out by next weekend. Thanks.

Hey, here are the questions that I was looking to include in the article. If you have any others just tell me and I can add them.
1. How do you rate the offseason of the Braves, did they do enough to be able to compete in 2009?
2. What will be the strength of the team in 2009?
3. What will be the weakness of the team in 2009?
4. Will Jeff Francoeur rebound from his awful 2008, what numbers should we expect from him?
5. How much of Tommy Hanson and Jordan Schafer do you expect to see in 2009?
6. What will the final standings be in the NL East? Give a small explanation of your picks.
E-mail me the responses at baseballbrett13@comast.net and then I will combine them and possibly ask a couple more depending on different responses. Thanks.
