Braves Maybe Looking At Jim Edmonds, Who Lost Out On Orioles Job

The Braves will now look at Garret Anderson, Jim Edmonds and Luis Gonzalez, three more left-handed hitting veterans. But GM Frank Wren said he's been impressed so far by their young outfielders.

Edmonds almost had a job earlier with the Orioles. But ironically, it was Baltimore's acquisition of Felix Pie that appears to have cost him that opportunity. Edmonds was acquired by the Cubs last year when manager Lou Piniella didn't think Pie could cut it. Baltimore had been considering using Edmonds as part of a first-base platoon, but now Luke Scott is expected to get that playing time.
