Still think the Braves handled it correctly.

Sweet we could score 2 or 3 runs a game.

I'm fairly certain that if Beachy had not been injured the Braves win the East.

If we wouldn't have traded away Vizcaino, then the Braves win the East.

I'd prefer heyward down in the order a bit to get those RBI opportunities.

If we had only held onto Nasty Nate, we'd still be in the playoffs.

I want to take a moment to recognize some unsung heroes from this year:
Ben Sheets
Chad Durbin
Paul Janish
all did about as good as can be expected. Janish came in and played great defense and got a couple timely hits when we needed it most.

We should definitely trade Bourn now before he becomes a FA after the world series.

In DOB's article today he suggests:
- Trading for Willingham (has two year left on his contract at $7M per)
- Signing Pagan to a 4 or 5 year deal at $9M per.
Thoughts?

Actual decent suggestion by DOB. I like idea of signing Pagan. Don't know about 5 years at 9 mill a year. I think he's 31 already. Just off the top of my head, it doesn't seem like the Twins like to trade. I would say Willingslam has another 2 years of slugging in him though.
