For Charlie Morton, Gorkys Hernandez and Jeff Locke. I guess they're going to make a push.

wow, nice move for the Braves

 

the article also mentions that Tommy Hanson will start for the Braves on Saturday and Andrew McCutcheon will take McLouth's spot in Pittsburgh

Nice, two top prospects emerge because of this trade (and the Braves release of Glavine). Excited to see how both of them do.

Looks like the Braves made out in that deal. Is that all McLouth was worth? He just signed a fairly cheap 3 year deal.

[BoSox21]

according to the Globe's Amalie Benjamin, Smoltz said the following about Glavine's release: "That's not how you treat people. ... That ain't right."

They should have given him the privilege of retiring instead of cutting him loose like that.

 

The Braves showed no class on that move.......

[BoSox21]

Smoltz: "That's not how you treat people. He didn't have a chance to fail at that level, if that was the issue or concern. It's just not how you go about it. They're in control. They make those decisions. They've made a lot of them lately."

[Keeper]

Are we positive they didn't give him a chance to retire before cutting him?

f***ing Pirates. I root for them for family's sake, but for f***s' sake, can they hold on to one player?

Gorkys Hernandez

 

Well hello, Hall Of Name.

[BSN07]

This is a great move by Atlanta.

 

The Pirates seem to have no problem dealing within the division. Where as it always comes up as an issue for most other teams. Granted I don't know that much about the prospects going back to the Pirates.

...Sorry total brain fart there. I don't know what the hell I was thinking. Total utter failure on my behalf.

 

Again sorry for making you read that and lose 5 seconds you will never get back.
