Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentYahoo Sports says the Atlanta Braves could use help in the outfield and should go after a three-time All-Star in free agency. Chip, you're up.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorSign him, put him in left field, and give him a lifetime pass to the stadium nachos.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorA man plays harder when the concourse loves him back.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentHot. Nachos are a legitimate recruiting tool.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThe article never names him. You're all bidding on a ghost, and the ghost will pull a hamstring in April. Mark me.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentNot. A ghost can't pull anything.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThen he's the perfect outfielder. Nothing gets past him and he never asks for a raise.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorDale just invented the cheapest roster in Georgia.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentMy take: sign the ghost, and stop asking for a name. Nobody has ever seen him drop a fly ball.
