More to love about Jordan Schafer:
He felt a pop in his left wrist on April 10, his last at-bat in the home opener against Washington.
Since then, Jordan Schafer has totaled 55 games played, 187 at-bats, 69 strikeouts, 36 hits, two home runs (both in Triple-A), 13 RBI, an unspecified number of cortisone injections, one wrist surgery and only-he-knows-how-many tattoos (both arms are now completely covered in ink from elbow to shoulder.)
Those are the first two sentences of a David O'Brien blog post about the last young outfielder who tried to make the majors for the Braves. A lot of good info on Schafer and his most recent comeback. He's a determined kid, he's still young, and he should still have all that promise we had in him before last season. I would say that he'll fly under the radar this spring, but he's too flamboyant for that to happen.

Tattoos?
All over his arms? That’s not creepy at all…

He, Moylan, and Medlen can start a club.

…and Josh Hamilton.

and just about everyone in the NBA.

Can Jordan Schafer dunk?

And Janine Lindemulder.
If you know who she is, shame on you.
If you don’t know…

So...
double shame on you for tainting the innocent, then…?
(as if any of us schmucks around were innocent… psh.)

I can live with that. I am just here to educate the masses.

Pirates was an excellent film
bpk228480 - January 23, 2010
Pirates 2 was better.
justincredubil02 - January 23, 2010
its a shame that I still haven’t seen it
bpk228480 - January 23, 2010
she was on the cover of a blink album also as one helluva sexxxy nurse!
Buttafuco13 - January 23, 2010
Wow. That was her, wasnt it? Never noticed that.
Enema of the State.
!Vive la Francoeur! - January 23, 2010
he def wont look like the little kid he looked like last year
Doghnut - January 22, 2010
Bobby will probably make him wear sleeves.

It says he had a stress fracture, which should finally settle the debate on whether or not he broke it. Sometimes those can be worse than a clean break.
10-4 - January 22, 2010
MP will debate that, I’m sure.
justincredubil02 - January 23, 2010
Seriously. “It wasn’t broken, it was fractured!”

I love that guy. For whatever reason I have a huge man-crush on Schafer. And he’s from Indiana to boot!

I really like Logan a lot. This kid has had a ton to deal with in such a young career. I hope Atlanta doesn’t package him up and ship him off!
Buttafuco13 - January 22, 2010
THIS
There is no way we can give up on this guy, I hope. I is/was a five star prospect at a position that extemely hard to find quality players at. Midmarket teams cannot give up on these kinds of guys expecially when the only time he has failed hard was when his wrist was broken.
bbxxj - January 22, 2010 via mobile
It makes me laugh to hear people talk about how poorly he played last year. This seems to always come from people that couldn’t play the game as well as this kid did with a broken wrist!
Buttafuco13 - January 22, 2010
Schafer's a stud. Haters, deal with it
nick9314 - January 22, 2010
How I hope our first round playoff lineup looks:
1. Schafer CF

3. Chipper 3B
4. Glaus 1B
5. McCann C
6. Heyward RF
7. Escobar SS
8. McLouth LF
9. Hanson P

That would be a dream come true
Mighty Healthy - January 23, 2010
That's sexy.
Scott Coleman - January 23, 2010 via mobile
Anyone who has given up on this
Scott Coleman - January 23, 2010 via mobile
Anyone who has given up on this kid is nuts.
Scott Coleman - January 23, 2010 via mobile
Thought you were doing an "add-on" sort of thing there
Anyone who has given up on this kid is nuts and deserves to take a nosedive.
Anyone with more than 5 braincells who has given up on this kid is nuts and deserves to take a nosedive.
Anyone with more than 5 braincells who has given up on this kid is nuts and deserves to take a nosedive from the top of the Empire State building onto a bed of nails while strapped to Kirstie Alley.

Love the kid and think he will be in our OF for a loooong time to come.

DOB...

Cammando2317 - January 23, 2010
When he signs with the Yankees.
