Edgar Renteria is recovering faster than expected from his high-ankle sprain, and manager Bobby Cox said the veteran shortstop should be back soon after he's eligible to come off the 15-day disabled list Saturday. The Braves initially feared Renteria could miss three weeks or more. "He's coming along real good, better than expected," Cox said. "I don't know if he can play [Saturday], but shortly thereafter probably." -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution

This is good news for the Braves. Now Texeira will have somebody to drive in.

yah you could tell that lineup really lacked in the two hole.....diaz did a good job when he played...but i didnt like Kelly Johnson hitting there.

I also prefer Escobar to lead off instead of Harris....Willie has been nothing but good for this team but i believe that Escobar is a better contact hitter.
