    Picking up Cervelli, Hechy, and Hamilton post deadline was really a pretty sweet bit of front office work.

    Yeah wupk said he has a sub-1 ERA vs the Dodgers in his last 30 games vs them or so. I still dont like the move since it most likely hurts our payroll next year to add/keep key pieces but it makes sense in that way you said.

    If we're gonna win the NL, gonna have to get through them.

    Interesting that we do not seem to have had much competition for their services. In some ways we were lucky they became available at a time injuries to regulars created a positional need.

    Yeah, it's kind of weird how the right pieces have hit the market at the right time.

    Their reward will be a 1 game playoff and best case, a trip to LA
    1 game against the best pitcher in baseball

    All of a sudden the prospects of having Greene/MM next year is promising.

    AA is starting to build a resume as one of the top GMs in the sport.

    Hamilton mentioned interest in him besides Atlanta, that might explain AA taking the contract rather than waiting till he was released.

    i wouldn't mind Hamilton as our 5th outfielder a full season just to watch him pinch run and run wild on the bases (and watch his great defense in CF).

    To be fair he was traded from the Mariners
