    All 3 players are injury risks. There is no question about that.

    One difference is JD is a potential 4-5 win player, while the other guys aren't.

    The other difference is the Braves are on the hook for 1 year for JD, while the other teams are on the hook for much longer.

    The Braves took less risk overall, and a chance at a higher return on that risk.

    Seems clear to me which is the less risky gamble...not that I necessarily agree with AA's ultra conservative approach. I think he should have assumed more risk in an attempt to defend the recent NL East title (I would have signed Grandal, Brantley and a utility guy like Asdrubal), but I can understand his plan.
