I text my buddy we should do a three way:
Rasmus + prospect to the Rays
Minor to the Cardinals
Upton to the Braves
Championship.

I disagree.

I hope this Willingham thing isn't true. He adds absolutely nothing to our lineup aside from being a right handed bat. He doesn't run well, his OBP is nothing special, his "defense" is so bad it is borderline humorous, and he doesn't even play a position we will have a need at by the end of this month when Chipper comes back.
If we give up ANYTHING for him, I'm going to take marta down to Turner Field and kick Frank Wren square in the balls.

He's like .370-.380 guy. That'd be like the best on our team right now. That's pretty damn good.

This might have been covered since I only read portions of this thread, but did Medlen reinjure himself?

Yeah they set him back 6 weeks. Likely out for the year.

New info says deal is not official yet. Sorry for the false alarm.

Also remember Willingham hit 11 hrs playing for OAK which isn't all that bad. On most teams he hits about 15.

SIAP, but i thought this was an interesting take on the Bravos:
quote:
Atlanta Braves
First-half record: 54-38
Standings: trail Phillies by 3 1/2 games in NL East, 5 up in wild card
Needs
Outfield: Jordan Schafer has had his moments, but he also has a .599 OPS in 169 at-bats while filling in for Nate McLouth and Martin Prado. The Braves offense is fine when everyone is healthy and McLouth is the worst player in the lineup, but adding another outfielder is a must. Players are going to keep getting hurt, and while Prado’s versatility makes him a huge asset in that department, the Braves need someone to cover left field when Prado is needed elsewhere.
Bullpen: The Braves have gotten superb relief so far, but they currently have Jonny Venters on pace for 90 appearances, Craig Kimbrel on pace for 83 and Eric O’Flaherty on pace for 79. They could use another solid right-hander capable of taking some of the burden off their big three.
Infield: If the Braves can’t bring in a starting-type outfielder, maybe they can at least go get a quality backup for Chipper Jones so that they’ll no longer have to play Prado at third base. The return of Omar Infante to Atlanta would work if the last-place Marlins decide to sell.
Target
Josh Willingham (OF Oak): The addition of Dan Uggla was supposed to help out a Braves team that has typically struggled against left-handers, and it probably will pay off in time. Still, to date, the Braves are hitting .208 and slugging .333 against southpaws, compared to .249 with a .407 slugging percentage against righties. Willingham isn’t a perfect solution — ideally, the Braves would bring in someone capable of helping out in center as well — but he’s a very good bat with plenty of NL East experience.
Proposed deal
Willingham and RHP Brad Ziegler for LHP Mike Minor and LHP Brett Oberholtzer
I wouldn’t propose that the Braves give up Minor for Willingham alone, but for Ziegler, too, it might be worth it. Ziegler has a 1.95 ERA in 32 1/3 innings this season, and he’s limited right-handed hitters to a .219 average and two homers in 525 career at-bats. He is weak against lefties, but the Braves already have three quality southpaws.
It’s still a pretty high price to pay, but Brandon Beachy‘s emergence has made Minor expendable. The left-hander would likely be a fine No. 3 starter in Oakland. Oberholtzer, who is currently sporting a 4.03 ERA as a 22-year-old in Double-A, probably ranks as Atlanta’s sixth- or seventh-best pitching prospect.
