Looks like the Simmons and Wood trades will turn out bad-to-very bad, although I still hold out hope for Newcomb. I get the inclusion of Melvin in the Kimbrel deal killed the return and I would have preferred they just release Melvin, but this front office seems to have a problem with paying guys to play elsewhere (although they did it with Uggla).
I'm not as down on the J. Upton deal. Could have gone quality over quantity, but Mallex being flipped for Gohara (although I didn't really cotton to the deal) may turn out just grand. Hard to tell with Dustin Peterson's injury.
