This is why Atlanta never wins anything. The goddamn Marlins went out and got a serviceable starter, and we meddle around with a 4th/5th outfielder with speed (because we steal so many bases as a team), and a middle reliever. How about our fricking starting pitching is pathetic. The Cardinals got better with Lackey in town. Hell, the damn Nationals went out and got Asdrubal Cabrera who will fill in at 3B shifting Zimmerman to the OF. That lineup just got better.

Looks like Braves finish 3rd or 4th in division.

While we didn't really improve all that much, Cabrera is garbage. Bonifacio is better than he is.

Outside of having the money to trade for Price, I'm not sure what we could have gone after to improve the rotation. Not like Lackey is really much of an improvement over what we have.

The pitching has not been the problem. The starters have way outperformed expectations this year other than Minor. The bench has been absolutely terrible, so if Schafer is gone that's an upgrade. I think we had to expect that no big moves would be made. We don't have many big prospects to trade and we weren't trading anyone from the starting lineup.

ETA: Ryan Zimmerman's arm in the outfield sounds like a disaster.
