    So you consider top 25 prospects "big time". In 2012...Shelby Miller was ranked #4 overall, 8, and 19 on different top prospect lists in baseball. What do you consider that?

    If you haven't already, you can officially scratch off the Padres as a candidate for Upton

    Might as well have just live streamed the meetings these teams had because it seems like we got updates on this trade every 10 minutes.

    The Nats essentially converted their extra OFer into their replacement at SS once Desmond leaves, and a SP prospect. They somehow weaseled their way into the deal and came out like bandits.

    It really sucks when you're in the same division with a team that possesses both money and brains.

    I agree, I don't think we're bad but we had one of the worst offensive teams in baseball and haven't done anything to fix that.

    Plus mlb is giving them an undisclosed amount of money every year because they have a bad TV deal.

    I agree. We still have a very young team with a lot of upside.

    We signed a pretty good hitting coach.

    Well, we do have a line-up full of DP machines now (and already had enough of them before hand). But hey, at least they could get on base more right? :)

    If there's truth to this afternoon's Nightingale report that the Braves believe they'll trade Justin before Christmas, the next two days would figure to be the time. Not usually a lot of activity on the weekend and need to leave a couple of working days to get physicals done.
