It's always funny that there will always be someone out there to try and put a good man down........even with circumstancial or in this case, false evidence.

Yahoo Sports is already doing a countdown of baseball team rankings just based on their off-season. They have the White Sox ranked at 18, but the way they talked about the team, you'd think they'd be a little worse...like 29th. Man, they make the Sox sound like the '62 Mets.

The Phillies sign Delmon Young to a 1 year major league contract.
Once again the Phillies make me smile as a mets fan.

There are a TON of question marks on the team with guys having career years (Rios, De Aza, Dunn rebounding) and roster turnover at a few key positions. The thing about that article that really jumped out at me was this: What the f***, Kenny?

Cubs are close to signing Scott Hairston to a 2 year deal.
Liked Scott but two years guaranteed? No thanks. Last time we did that to a non full time player it was Marlon Anderson. Eesh.

So BJ and Justin are now on the same team. When's the last time we had two brothers play on the same team? The Giambis on the A's back in the early 2000's?

On one hand, I really wanted this to happen and I'm very excited about that "Up, Up, Hey" outfield. On the other hand, them giving up Prado worries me/bums me out. The Braves have definitely made some questionable trades in the past, so here's hoping they got it right this time.

Hairston's played together on the Padres in 2010 Adrian and Edgar Gonzalez (Adrian Gonzalez has a brother?) were on the Padres together in 2008 Giles played together on the Padres in 2007 The Padres like doing this. It happens a lot more than you would think. You have to remember that people like Tim Drew existed and played with JD Drew.

Mets signed Shaun Marcum to a 1 year deal. Great signing by the Mets. Marcum could be a good trading chip in july.

That, or "Outfield Lawyers: Upton, Upton, and Heyward."

I just wish they could have done it without giving up Prado considering he was probably the most versatile guy in the line up. But, the Braves needed some power in the line up. I hope this doesn't bite them in the ass.

I was a little bummed to see Prado's name in the deal too, but sounds like he was gonna bolt for free agency in a year anyway (if the $11-12mill/yr number that's been reported is correct).
So one year of Prado for three of J. Upton, starts to make more sense.
Ideally I'd have traded Teheran before Delgado though.

I like the trade. Prado had one foot out the door for free agency anyway.
