Braves Fan's Should be Patient with Kotchman
Many Braves fans might be thinking Casey Kotchman should return to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim and bring Mark Teixeira back to the Braves.
These fans should be patient with Casey Kotchman because of his past success with the Angels and his future, which looks rather bright in a Braves uniform. (The Braves have control of Kotchman until the close of the 2011 season.)
Kotchman is currently batting .272, 12 HR, 59 RBI's and 2 SB in 430 AB's combined between Los Angeles and Atlanta. He is a career .269 hitter.
My theory is that Kotchman is simply nervous about being in a new town, in a new league, and is having some trouble adjusting to the National League style of play and the differences in managerial styles between Angels manager Mike Scioscia and Braves manager Bobby Cox.
Who can blame him, really? Kotchman is 25 years old and is one of the rising stars of baseball. He will catch fire and prove his worth to the Braves and to Braves fans.
Just be patient.
