they wanna trade for holiday too
so that would be even more rape

If they can get rid of Francoeur, that lineup would be beastly.

Franco + prospects for Holliday

Hanson + Franco + prospects for Holliday

YOU GUYS NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE BRAVES ARE NOT GOING TO TRADE HANSON

MAYBE FRANCO + MEDLEN + ????

I actually think the Pirates won this trade, but the Braves didn't exactly lose.

If that makes any sense. Pretty much the trade works for both teams.

yea this was fricken stupid...

Charlie Morton = a fail pitcher, he's already 25 and he hasn't proven anything
Gorkys Hernandez = Juan Pierre at best, and probably won't be as good of a hitter
Jeff Locke = hasn't proven anything yet, he's a roll of the dice

McLouth gives the Braves speed and power (lacked both), and a cornerstone player in CF instead of rotating prospects in and out.
Plus he's locked up at a good price for a few more years.

I don't see what is so special about McLouth. He is rather ordinary, and will be even more-so when he gets moved to a corner OF spot.

Locke has huge upside too.
Plus your giving too little credit to Gorkys.

He's a 25/25 player, can hit anywhere from leadoff to cleanup, and has a good contract. Best stealing % since 2006.

Juan Pierre is a great player and I think I might be overstating Gorkys by saying he's that good.
