Very good article.

No team in baseball has gotten less production than the Braves out of center field or third base.

Also points out the extreme stupidity of batting BJ leadoff.

Not a lot of options though, outside of maybe trying out Bonifacio or Peraza in center and Gosselin or Kubitza at third.

Also, move Heyward back to leadoff.

Anyone believe this?

quote:

The Braves were close to pulling off a major deadline deal that would have sent center fielder B.J. Upton and a starter (which could have been either Mike Minor or Ervin Santana) to an unidentified club and for an unidentified return. The nature of the hypothetical return has not been revealed, but Rosenthal says that Atlanta ultimately felt it was not receiving sufficient value in return. Ultimately, the conception of the move was intended more to shake up the roster and clubhouse (in addition, no doubt, to shedding Upton’s future obligations), and Rosenthal says that a deal of that type could be revisited in the offseason.

Good article. I can't believe BJ Upton is in position to get more plate appearances than anyone else.
