. . . and the "sort of bad but not as bad as I was afraid of" news on Prado . . .

Hopefully he will only be out 2 weeks...Luckily it wasnt his other hand or his swing would have really been effected.

The way it looked last night, this is good news to me.
 
Braves just did a deal for a AAA outfielder but Ken Rosenthal says something "much bigger" is very close to happening.
 
Farnsworth and Ankiel for Blanco, Tim Collins, and Chavez.

Getting rid of Chavez might be the best part.

I also saw somewhere that Jesse Chavez is in the deal too.

. . . along with Tim Collins who I think was one of the guys that Toronto sent with Gonzalez in the Escobar trade.

Not too sure what if anything the Braves will get out of Ankiel, but the addition of Farnsworth takes a deep bullpen and makes it even nastier with another power arm.
 
The Braves sure do like to make deals with their former executives.

The guy I'm happy for is Gregor Blanco. He deserves to go somewhere and get extended ABs.

Yep.

He will most likely be playing CF and maybe even leading off.

Kila will be called up to DH, with Guillen moving to RF. With that said, I would love to see Guillen traded.

Really excited about Collins, the guy is going to be good.
 
Ankiel is bad. Blanco would have been better. I thought that Tim Collins was going to be a good relief type pitcher? Hell he can't be worse than Kyle Farnsworth, we already been down that road once. I think those are horrible horrible moves.
 
Freeman has been raking. I know it's probably best for him to stay down, but with Glaus struggling i'm getting anxious to see him.
