S-Rod traded to Pirates

Well DOB is saying 1B/OF prospect...

Youth movement is on: #Braves have traded veteran utility man Sean Rodriguez to his old #Pirates team in exchange for a 1B/OF prospect.
 
I guess this is why they've been playing him to hope he showcased to get a better prospect and clear some salary. My hope with Johnson, Dickey, Srod, and Jaime is we're eating some money to help move Kemp or Markakis.

The prospect coming back will indicate how much/little that shoulder injury is going to affect him.

This would also change my mind about us wanting to flip high on Camargo. He's more valuable without a Sean Rodriguez on the roster.
 
I liked the signing at the time but I wonder if he will ever come back from the shoulder injury. With the emergence of some other solid bench pieces I am glad we pulled the plug before it got to a Melvin situation.

Same here. I thought it was a good sign, and SRod seems like a great guy. The niche he filled is less of a need for the Braves now though, and major shoulder surgery is pretty scary . . . especially for a player in this 30s.
