At least Atlanta did something right

They traded to get Mark Teixiera, an all-star. Smart move since we haven't done anything in free agency or trading since never we just let people go to other teams and be all-stars without trying to sign them back and let legends just waltz out the door and win 300 games without contract negotiations. I say we get to the playoffs now...and when we get there we won't lose in the first round.

Braves making moves especially with the inevitablity of the Mike Vick situation (they bout to throw the book at him...tell him to read it...Tony Taylor you motherfucker...shit) with the Falcons and Joey Harrington. It will be a miracle if we win 3 games this year, and the Hawks still being amongst the worst teams in the NBA ( why we couldn't get the #2 instead of the #3? bullshit).

Also traded Kyle Davies for Octavio Dotel and they're looking @ Bronson fuckin Arroyo lol

A franchise catcher is 5x more valuable than a franchise 1B, though.

Saltalamacchia > Texeira by a good margin, actually.

but McCann is better than Saltalamacchia so it makes trading him away less painful. I like the trade but it sucks knowing Teixeia is going to definitely hit the free agent market after next season and the Braves probably won't sign him.

And Kyle Davies fucking blows. Hopefully this is the move to get Wickman out of the closer role.

isn't Tex a free agent at the end of the season also. so he could just be a rental for the second half of the season. bad deal of giving up Salty if Tex ••••s..

Salty also plays first..

There was one pitching prospect in the deal though. I think the Angels had a good deal on the table..Kotchman and Joe Sanders and a mid level pitching prospect..

The thing that was rough about Tex was he might just turn out to be a rental so I think that's why it may have been hard to get something for him. At least they got something in return for him without loosing him for nothing

holy shit, god damn the braves are a problemmmm now. sure they gave up their top 3 prospects or somethin in the deal, but they need to win now, can't lose the division 2 years in a row and we're a definite force now. hopefully they can re-sign tex tho, that's a potent ass offense. i remember when he entered the draft i was really hopin the braves would be able to get him since he went to G tech and all that, so this is dope. and dotel wooo i've always liked dude, didn't hear about that deal until just now. i'm fuckin excited for the second half now wow. and yeah salty wasn't a franchise catcher (yet) and who knows if he'd ever really develop into one, time will tell. but mccann's an all-star and hopefully will continue to get better

Salty's better than McCann. If not for McCann's season last year, he'd have been on the block.

he might end up being better yeah but right now he's not anywhere in McCann's stratosphere. Basically what you're saying is if McCann wasn't so good he'd get traded instead. They had 2 potential elite catchers and they decided to keep the one that has already established himself in the majors. Plus McCann is only a year older than than Salty.

If the Braves actually sign Teixeira before he's up after next season than it'll end up being a great deal in favor of the Braves. I'm actually more upset about the other guys in the deal than I am Salty.

Look @ McCann's minor league #'s

http://thebaseballcube.com/players/M/Brian-McCann.shtml

Last year was an anomaly and now he's coming back down to earth. His #'s this year basically mirror not only his minor league averages, but also Salty's line.

Salty's minor league #'s

http://thebaseballcube.com/players/S...amacchia.shtml

Undeniably better.

McCann 2007: 263/315/448/763
Salty: 284/333/411/744

McCann is NOT as good as he was last year. Now that the scouts have figured him out he's come down to earth.

Haha you tell me that Salty is better than McCann and to prove your point...you bring up minor league numbers.

What's also funny is you're using McCann's numbers this year (3/4 of the year actually) to disregard McCann's first full season. Why is this year what Atlanta is going to get from McCann from this point on and not what happened last year. Maybe this year is the anomaly. You have heard of the sophomore slump right?

But anyway back to the main point, McCann is a 2 time All-Star at the age of 23. Saltalamacchia has under 150 ML at bats and is 22 years old. Again, exactly how does that make Salty better than McCann right now?
