Guy guys guys… it's not like he's breaking up the 27 Yankees here. Who cares about the return?

So Pads have Kemp, Upton, Myers, and Seth Smith??????????? They promised Smith they wouldn't trade him, but they have to. And they will have zero outfield defense!
As far as we know, Heyward and Upton were traded for Miller, Jenkins, Fried, and Peterson. I still find it odd that we traded Heyward and Upton and didn't receive 1 top 50 prospect in return.

So, what is Freeman thinking now? Signed this long term deal to end up being the only hitter in the lineup.

We're going to have the worst, fastest infield and outfield of all time
If the Braves got Fried, Peterson AND Gettys for Upton that's a darn good deal!
I guess we figure we'll get the inevitable TJ out of the way first. It's not like guys ever need a second one.

So glad that we're still going to have BJ in center field while Justin and Heyward are in other uniforms.

Can we trade Hart for Preller?
So essentially we gutted our team, failed to return even one young impact position player, brought in a 20 year old coming off Tommy J that won't even pitch for us until 2016 and then on top of it we committed 45 million to a declining 31 year old outfielder having neck surgery.
I hated rebuilding - but I accepted that was their direction and was willing to see how it went. I hated trading Heyward but will admit, at least we got a young controllable pitcher - but everything since then has just been all down hill. Just seems to me we are now left with more wholes than ever. This offseason has been an epic fail. We turned a potential playoff team into a bottom dweller and I have zero confidence any of these moves will make us significantly better in the future.

Is Peterson going to be our 2B? Will he move to 3B when Peraza is ready? Is Chris Johnson still on the club?
Wait, there's another Peterson?

This is just like the trade we made FOR Justin Upton. A bunch of trash for a stud.
