Haha dumbass. Why do you think the Cubs, Mets, and Royals are successful now. They built up their farm systems, stock piled pitching prospects for their own good or as trade assets for the future. Simmons was a 250 career hitter, never hit more than 7 bombs in a year. His trade value is at its highest right now. The Braves have a couple of SS prospects in the farm. So, all the Braves fans that say the Braves are dead to me or frick the Braves are idiots. You are the reason why the fan base gets ridiculed constantly. It's a great trade if you don't like it GFY and be a Nats fan.

You're not seriously comparing the Cubs recent farm of future all stars all over the field with the Braves' 50 pitchers.

Yes John Lester, Jake Arrieta, Kyle Hendricks, and Jason Hammel were drafted....

Same with Volquez, Vargas, Medlen, C. Young, Guthrie, and Cuerto...

Simmons is vastly overrated by Braves fans. Exceptional fielder but terrible hitter. We got a lot back for him. All those arms we have will be traded for position players.
