Thanks.

Bethancourt costs us another run.

Thought Lagares would get that one. Nice 2B for Kelly.

We've seen that Folty can hit, he should be looking for a SF here IMO.

Not striking out on a bunt!

PETERSONNNNNNN

Peterson, holy ****.

Hope on guys. This kid is real good.

Straight up for Upton would have been a great deal in hindsight.

Wow Peterson with a blast?!?!?

I hope we extent him soon

It's really hard not to love Jace. I can't see a scenario where Peraza replaces him at 2B

My god stop it. Jace Peterson should not headline a deal for a star slugger.

6 years of a second baseman with an average bat and plus glove is more valuable than one year of Upton.

Jace doesn't usually hit hr but when he does he's getting 3+ RBI

D Peterson is my favorite prospect now. Mallex seems to be improving with the braves.

Freid could be icing on the cake

Now if the Braves sign Justin then it's a great trade!!

Yeah but so what? When you trade a guy like Upton, you better get a lot more than Jace Peterson. Thank God they did. You are basically saying trade every star for some lower ceiling prospect straight up just because of years of control.

Not sure what he does going forward. I'm sure babip or something will say he's lucky. But he was awful early in the year and is now 6th in baseball among second baseman based on obp. 11th in ops.

48th in obp in all of baseball despite bad start.

I don't know if that's an avg bat.

it's only 1 year of Upton. The Padres will be regretting trading Peterson for 1 year of Upton if they don't resign him.

We are saying in hindsight now that we've seen Jace at the major league level. If that trade was done in the offseason it would have been awful. But, not in hindsight.
