Braves already Active in the Trade Market


Today The Tigers acquired SS Edgar Renteria from Braves in exchange for RHP Jair Jurrjens and OF Gorkys Hernandez. Jurrjens started seven games for the Tigers in 2007, compiling a 3-1 record and 4.70 ERA (30.2IP/16ER). In 19 starts with Double-A Erie last season, Jurrjens finished 7-5 with a 3.20 ERA (112.2IP/40ER).
Hernandez spent the entire 2007 season with Class A West Michigan and he batted .293 (141-for-481) with 84 runs scored, 25 doubles, five triples, four home runs, 50 RBIs and 54 stolen bases in 124 games.


To me, I take this a a salary cut. I foresee The Braves using the freed up money on Tom Glavine or a CenterFielder. I really don't like seeing the braves aquire young prospects. But I love to see them part with a player that hit over.330 in 2007, especially if they trade him out of our dividion. I hope these two prospects flop like free willy in the ocean...
