I always bitch about the Braves never making deals like these. Now I regret it. Don't get me wrong, Justin Upton was a strong pickup, but damn I can't believe we gave up Prado for him.

I really liked Prado too-thought Bourne might have been the next difference maker and hoping this might have a sorta RH bat "Crimedog" effect to the lineup in the three hole. Guess we'll see!

I'm satisfied with the starting rotation. I was ok with not trying to get a big arm because I think Medlen has shown enough to eventually be the ace. I'm satisfied with the bullpen, although Venters had some bad innings last year. I think he'll get it turned around.
Upton is a big pickup, but I wanted to pick up a solid left fielder without having to give up Prado. I think we had plenty of power, Prado is a perfect #2 guy in the lineup and has been for a couple of years now. I think we are gonna miss that.

You're right. And as a day to day follower I know I'll miss him but there's always a chance that they can boost the two spot as late as the July deadline if need be.

I still kept forgetting we lost Hansen.

Honestly, he was one that I was ready to ship. I loved the guy, but Mark Lemke could steal home with his windup. And consistency was always his issue. Of course, he'll probably win 20 games this season.

I miss us trading Hansen?

Yes, Tommy Hanson was traded to the Angels for a bullpen arm. Most likely our new setup guy.

Losing Hansen didn't bug me. He had a some good moments but I was never really that impressed with him.
