Blauser’s Braves

As has been reported for several weeks now, Jeff Blauser was named the manager of the AA Mississippi Braves for the upcoming season. I point this out now because there are some good interviews/links that I’ve come across. Over at Talking Chop, Joe has finally :) posted his interview with Jeff. As always, it was a great interview with plenty of good prospect questions – really good stuff for Braves fanatics.

The M-Braves site has the Jeff Blauser press conference available for download on mp3. It’s an 11 minute interview on a 10MB file. The local paper has the highlights in this article.

If you’re interested in Jeff Blauser the player, here are his career stats. He was a 2-time all-star and won the Silver Slugger for shortstops in ’97. Interestingly, he was originally drafted by the Cardinals, and then later in the year drafted by the Braves back when they had two drafts per year.
