Thanks for swinging by! Chipper was an island unto himself in Orlando for the first couple years. Neither Jeff Bagwell nor Ryan Braun - hit streak record aside - developed as expected. They come off their worst season last year and this would be their first .500 season, but they have a higher goal now. Drafting Barry Bonds in last November's amateur draft has certainly had an immediate impact, even if he hasn't been Bonds-like yet.
