So are we better with him at third and JUP in left or prado at third and someone in house in left?

I love Prado, but it was going to be too expensive to re-sign him

Chris Johnson can hit for average but below average in power. Pretty good defensively also.

This and us trading him away confirms that.

I'm gonna miss Prado quite a bit, but I'm going to go ahead and be optimistic. Roadrunner played well at 3rd last year when he got starts, and with him slimming down maybe he can be even better...maybe. I think I need to drink one for Prado damnit.

At the cost of where Prado was getting combined with 3 years left on Uptons contract, I would say it was a good move

Well prado didn't have incredible power either, so if johnson can hit for average there are no complaints here.





UPTON X 2!!

In no world were we re-signing prado after this season.

It sucks we aren't as stacked as we thought we would be with jupton but this is a better move for the long run

ETA looks like im renewing my season tix

I feel the same way and I think this was the planning. Probably wouldn't have re-signed him.

I love Prado. I am glad they kept Teheran over Delgado tho.

And just traded Prado and quality young pitching to get JUP, so what would you guess be?

Johnson has reverse splits in his career (did last year as well).
