#Dbacks want Andrelton Simmons from #Braves in Justin Upton talks. This is why Justin Upton has not joined BJ in Atlanta -- yet.

I hope that we don't trade Simmons, he's the next Ozzie Smith

how does that make any sense they didn't get any prospect in return they traded Hanson cuz they didnt want to pay him more

It frees up money so they can make a bigger offer for a left fielder they still have money to spend they didnt want to spend on hanson bc they didnt see him as being worth it, but they didnt have to trade him which tells me they're making cuts in one area to use it in another, and we all know they need a left fielder with prado moving to 3rd. also I saw an article on mlb where the uptons were talking about playing together and i.think that's part of the reason bj came to atlanta. Atlanta does have a lot of arms in the bullpen and they cant keep all of them, it's just speculation at this point but they have a lot of prospects to offer.

This is the article I read and why I think it's possible.

That would be a great outfield. Holding out hope the D-backs are aiming high but settle for a young pitcher.

:stopitslime: Of course we are better than the Nats. Gio and Zimmermann will fall off. Stras is a beast and so is Harper.

The Nats could potentially have the best fielding team in ages if we can keep LaRouche. :wow:

Finally solved the hole at the top of the line up and center field. :wow:

And a full season of Strassy, plys Gio, JZimm, and hopefully the emo Detwiler wakes up and realizes he got good stuff. :whew:

RZimm finally healthy. :win:

Lastly, Bryce Gawd gonna get better :bryan:


I aint predicting world series, but 2013 was supposed to be the year we be good, not this year.:lawd::ohlawd:


my big concern is Storen tho... I hope to gawd he aint shook anymore :damn:

The Braves would be the first team in a while to have brothers on their team, I bet the Upton brothers would be :to: if that happened.
