re: Does the Braves management know what they are doing?

Trade for Uribe, keep him for a month, than trade him to somewhere else.

Chris Johnson sucked and we needed to find a better 3B, so we traded for Uribe. Uribe then started to perform well and we were able to unload him for future pieces.

-Trade Alec Wood, one of your best young pitchers.

I didn't initially like this move, but again.. with Alex Wood losing speed on his fastball, and just in general his entire throwing motion raises questions about his longevity, we capitalized on his young talent and moved him for some serious prospects, one of those being Hector Olivera (3B) who we heavily chased before he signed with the Dodgers.

Supposedly this is a rebuilding year, but they don't seem to be building anything. The team they put together reminds me of scab teams during strike years.

We are in rebuilding mode. The Braves will have a new stadium in 2017, a new coach and most if not all prospects we have traded for since this past off-season will most likely be contributing members of the 2017 squad.
