They shopped Upton so much, they put themselves in a position where they pretty much had to trade him. I'm so baffled by it.

Could be worse. I'm happy getting Prado and happy Parra gets more playing time.

Heyward just won a Gold Glove in right, I doubt they'll move him.

Why? BJ Upton is essentially Michael Bourne, except he hits for power and has a better arm.
I don't know who should move to left, but using gold gloves as a basis of figuring it out is silly. |

Because that would've meant BJ Upton probably would've stayed in Tampa Bay, man.

In other former braves news, the orioles actually signed somebody. Jair Jurrgens 1 year 1.5 million.
A steal considering they were close to trading adam jones for him and prado last year. Had a bad year after going 13-6 with a sub 3 era..Now the orioles havelike 10 or 11 starters to figure out a rotation with.. |

Didn't know the Dodgers picked up Skip Schumaker. Good move, I like him.

I don't think it's silly if it was deserved. And why make the incumbent move when he has been used to playing that side of the field for three years now? Justin has already said he was fine moving to left, so it's a moot point.

The Mets are still appealing having to give up their first round pick for Bourn. I do see their point. They had the 10th worst record in baseball and should have had the 10th pick...and only the Pirates' failure to sign their first round pick last year bumped the Mets to 11th. The union had already said they will support the Mets in their argument.
But the new CBA just says the first 10 picks are protected, not the 10 teams with the worst records. If MLB supports the Mets on this, it will create a precedent that will drive up costs on certain players since teams with unprotected picks could now potentially get the rule vetoed in certain situations. Hard to imagine the owners want to create a situation where costs will be even higher. MLB also said they won't even make a ruling until the Mets agree to sign Bourn. So the Mets will have to take a HUGE risk in signing Bourn and then potentially the protected pick thing falls through. I'm at the point where I just want them to sign Bourn for 3 years and be done with it. You only have Strasburgs and Harpers in the draft every so often. Nobody they could take at #11 would be a lock to be a start anyway. |

I have zero issue with either moving to left, but just feel that gold gloves are not a legitimate argument. Both are considered good defensive players, so regardless, it's a win.
Keith, there's no way, and I mean NO WAY BJ Upton would have remained in Tampa. None. They knew it, he knew it. Desmond Jennings will do fine in CF with Joyce eventually Myers flanking him. |

Well I've seen a lot of people cite current fielding statistics as misleading, so I'm not sure what you want me to say. Like plenty of other awards in sports and elsewhere, Gold Gloves only lose their muster because people who occasionally don't deserve them get them anyway. I don't think Heyward is one of those people - from me watching over 100 Braves games last year, he was damn good - much improved over his first two seasons.

The Yankees are just going to hand -out over $20million to ARod and he might not even have an at-bat this season.
LOL geez, what a bad contract. |

The Yankees aren't idiots. I'm sure Arod's contract is insured, which means, after filing a claim, the Yankees aren't stuck wasting the money on a lost year while Rodriguez gets paid.
