Up, Up and a Hey :leon:



I have mixed feelings about this. First of all, there will be no balls hit into gaps with those 3 in the outfield, but there will be a shytload of rallies ended due to strikeouts.

I also don't want to look back like I look back on the trade where we gave up Matt Harrison, Neftali Feliz and Elvis Andrus for Tex. I know Upton would be more than a rental player like Tex, but I don't want this to end up causing us not to be able to keep Heyward in the long run. Heyward is arbitration eligbile this year and it baffles me why we haven't just locked him up now while we can still afford to.

The Atlanta Braves have acquired Justin Upton from the Arizona Diamondbacks - sources - ESPN

The Atlanta Braves have agreed to a trade to acquire outfielder Justin Upton and third baseman Chris Johnson from the Arizona Diamondbacks for pitcher Randall Delgado, infielder Martin Prado and minor leaguers Nick Ahmed, Brandon Drury and Zeke Spruill, a baseball source told ESPN.com's Jerry Crasnick.

We lose Prado :damn: :damn: :damn:

We get a 3B in return anyway though.

C - McCann
1B - Freeman
2B - Uggla
SS - Andrelton
3B - Johnson
LF - Upton?
CF - Upton
RF - J-Hey?

Who's gonna bat leadoff? BJ? Andrelton?
