You can do a lot worse than having your 8 hole guy be a .270/15/70 hitter. Don't know what the criticism is all about. Excellent move by the Braves.

No joke

Upton was a top 5 piece in all of baseball before last year. He played through a significant injury that can/will sap your power.

Prado is a nice player and it's very nice to have his versatility, but it's not like he's a bargain considering he will be getting paid 8 figures/year when he hits FA. Delgado is a decent #2 at his maximum upside and more than likely will be a 3rd/4th SP.

I'm not sure who is worse out of the Braves & Rangers fans.

Anyone hear who thinks the braves made a bad deal is out of their mind. Delgado isn't a huge loss, prado was leaving after next year, and the other prospects are only unproven young guys. We didnt give up teheran, EOF, or venters. Now we have the best outfield in baseball just by switching prado and Justin.

Justin,BJ,Heyward>>>>>Prado,BJ,Heyward

This. The guy is 25 and has more upside than 99% of the players in the majors. He's already had two incredible seasons. And the Braves got him without giving up any of there top 5 prospects. WTF are Braves fans bitching about?
