Sequatchie Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Braves acquire Kyle Farnsworth from the Detroit Tigers The Tigers received pitcher Roman Colon and minor league right-hander Zach Miner. ``We have added strength to our team in an area we were looking to add strength,'' Schuerholz said. Schuerholz said three Braves scouts ``said this guy has been dominant.'' In 42 2-3 innings, Farnsworth has allowed 29 hits while striking out 55. Opposing batters have hit just .192 against the native of Alpharetta, Ga. ``At least it's Atlanta, my hometown,'' Farnsworth said. ``I'm excited about that. I've always wanted to play for them. I hate leaving here. At least I'm going to Atlanta. They're in first place and contention.'' Farnsworth said he will report to the Braves for Monday's home game against Pittsburgh, and he says he expects friends and family will be asking for tickets. ``It's going to be a crazy pass list Monday, I guess,'' he said. Schuerholz does it again! thumb This is a nice trade! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotmilk? Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 2.32 era 6 saves in 46 appearances Farnsworth can hit the high 90's consistantly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opperman Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 2.32 era 6 saves in 46 appearances Farnsworth can hit the high 90's consistantly! 825708197[/snapback] He'd be a lot better pitcher if his IQ was closer to his fastball than his changeup... Farnsworth is very inconsistent, aside from throwing really, really hard. Million-dollar arm, ten-cent head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bledsoebtheboys Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 Has Farnsworth served his suspension for the fight that happened in Kansas City last month..........If I'm not mistaken it was a 6 game suspension........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet high school coaches have used that replay to teach their players how to tackle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
