He would have been a better bat coming off the bench than Hinske this past year.

I say we just shell out the money to sign David Wright long term. Then we roll with this lineup next year.

Prado
Wright
Heyward

Crasnick isn't a bullshiter, so I'm guessing we're nearing a deal...

Hopefully a change of scenery does him some good. I don't like the idea of him and Uggla next to each other in the lineup though.

Oh snap.

Depending on the price, I'm all for paying for a player hitting their prime at a premium position, rather than overpaying for one nearing the end of their prime at a spot that can be filled with fluff (Uggla).

I have mixed feelings with Upton.If he can be the Upton of 07 great but he can be another Uggla swinging for the fences every at-bat.

Oh I agree...I just don't like the idea of the 5th and 6th spots in our lineup being good for 4 Ks every night. Is there any way for us to get out of Uggla's contract? I'm not even sure we could get a B prospect at this point.

I will say, I have a lot of confidence in what Greg Walker and Scott Fletcher can do. That and Tropicana is pretty pitcher friendly whereas Turner is slightly more hitter friendly.
I think this could wind up being a great deal.

I also like this deal.
He's also much younger than Danny was

Reported 5 years, 70-75 mil.
Bargain, IMO.

We overpaid IMO.
Posted on 11/28/12 at 4:46 pm to OBUDan
Yes. 30/30 potential, solid defense at a premium position, and the contract is for his 28-32 years
Plus he's right handed

I like it. Very interested to see who the third outfielder or third baseman is going to be to see how the lineup might look though.
