I'd say you're correct IIRC, esp. if you throw out the posters that are known to either support every move the FO makes or dislikes every move the FO makes.
And yet again you miss the entire point of the trade. My personal support has to do with the reasoning behind it rather than the return, and has absolutely nothing to do with support (or non-support) of the front office.
What did we all know going into camp? Certain players - Aybar, Norris, Chacin, both Johnsons, Ogando, Francoeur, Beckham, and Stubbs to name several - were traded for or signed to be placeholders and that the amount of time they'd be spending on the roster would be dictated as much by the performance and readiness of the prospects in the system behind them as it would be by their own success. The brass has been consistent in the message that "we're going to let the players tell us when they're "ready". This was the entire reason Albies was challenged with the aggressive assignment to Mississippi to start the season. It was the reason for the early promotions for Mallex, Ozzie, Swanson, and Sims. The minute they felt Blair had proved his readiness, the starter performing the worst (Norris at the time) lost his rotation spot. The early performance of Folty, Perez, Jenkins, and Sims has apparently led them to believe that they'll get better production from one of them moving forward than they hoped to get from Chacin.
There are likely going to be several more trades like this one this summer that have absolutely nothing to do with the return. The hope is that some of those players will be performing well enough (and that several teams have injury concerns at their particular positions) to build enough of a market for their services that the Braves will be able to fetch a few more well-known names than McCreery in return at the times Garcia proves he can capably play LF (assuming he does), or any of Ruiz, Albies, or Swanson forces their hands. They're not going to continue playing guys like Frenchy, Aybar, Beckham, KJ, Castro, and d'Arnaud for weeks holding out hope that they'll somehow get hot enough to net them a name prospect in return if and when the "future" shows it's time.
The ONLY team desperate enough - at this point in time - that needed a SP AND didn't have available options in their system was the Angels. Why? Partly because they traded Newcomb and Ellis to us. Otherwise one or both of them might have been getting their first looks at the MLB level this week for Anaheim.
