Andruw’s new contract
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Scott Boras, the agent for Braves centerfielder Andruw Jones, told the AJC’s David O’Brien Tuesday that he plans to seek a much more lucrative contract for the All-Star than his current 6-year, $75 million deal, which expires after next season.
Whatever specific numbers Boras has in mind are likely to make Jones off limits for the budget-minded Braves.
What should the Braves do? Pay any price to keep what Boras terms “the only complete player” in baseball? Or let him go and try to get something tangible in return, possibly through a trade, to address other pressing needs for a team that missed the playoffs for the first time in 14 seasons?
If you were general manager John Schuerholz, what would you do?

John Abraham’s injury
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The injury-riddled Falcons debut season for John Abraham continues, as the defensive end is expected to miss at least 3-4 weeks after having abdominal surgery Tuesday.
Injuries to his groin/abdomen areas have recurred throughout Abraham’s career.
How worried are you about how long Abraham may be out this time? And about how much he may be able to contribute the rest of the season as the Falcons aim for the playoffs?
