Chris Johnson and Uggla are going to be exciting

I forgot about Uggla.

I'm probably giving CJ too much hate. In a competent lineup, he's far from the worst problem. He's at least able to hold his own. Best case you'll probably get .250-.270 with 15-20 homers and 60-70RBI. That's decent production from third base in addition to what the Braves lineup should be doing. He's a pretty streaky though. He'll have times when he's on fire and other times when he can't do more than strikeout. And he WILL strikeout.... while never walking 132 strikeouts to 31 walks.

In the end though is it worth adding CJ to your lineup to get Justin Upton? Absolutely.
