He looks interesting actually. Really good bb/k rates in the minors.

Perterson is a faster LaStella
Like La Stella
This proposed trade blows so far, there better be more than this to it.
I really ****ing hate John Hart.

I think we just reverse McGriff'd them

Hows his defense? He must be a lot faster as well by his SB numbers in hte minors.

After all of these deals… I really wish we would have kept everyone and went for it again.
Not much to be optimistic with the "future" we keep getting back.

Peterson's 2013 BA writeup:
At McNeese State, Peterson starred on the diamond and as a cornerback on the football team, but he made the right decision in pursuing baseball. He spent all of 2013 as shortstop at high Class A Lake Elsinore, ranking among the California League leaders in average (.303), stolen bases (42) and triples (13). Peterson has no single plus tool, but he adeptly combines athleticism, skill and instincts, so his average tools play. He shows average range and arm strength at shortstop to go with throwing accuracy and first-step quickness. That quickness, combined with his ability to read pitchers, makes up for his average run times, and he boasts a career 80 percent stolen-base success rate. Peterson shows no give in left-on-left matchups and sprays line drives where the ball is pitched. Though he has below-average power, he can turn on the inside pitch when he's geared to do so. If he reaches his ceiling, Peterson will be a table-setting starter at shortstop.
No idea. But I doubt he's Robbie Alomar out there. The difference between the two isn't to the point where we should jettison one and bring back another as a focal point in a Justin Upton trade.
Braves got some real good pitching for Heyward. The return for Upton was meh. Can't believe we acquired a pitcher that won't even pitch in 2015 for a great hitter like Upton.

If in fact Jace Peterson is in this deal, you have to wonder if Chris Johnson is going to SD. Peterson is mainly a SS but has played 3B.
Chopping With The Braves And Rolling With The Tide
Thats very promising.

You guy kill me here smh! This offense sucked last year and ya'll wanted to field that same team again LOL!
He's an absolute f***ing joke.
Upton was our best hitter last year!
That's what we should have done anyway.
I like the speed possibilities there

"Baseball America ranked Jace as the best athlete, best hit tool and best defensive player in the organization, a rare feat pulled off only by future studs, like Andrew McCutchen, Buster Posey and Dustin Pedroia. "
