Braves agree on deal with B.J. Upton, pending physical | MLB.com: News

So we sign this dude instead of re-upping Bourn....

and its not like he's significantly younger either, he's 28.

ATL teams make it tough to root for them sometimes.

We lost Michael Bourne

well, Upton is two years younger, to start. More HR power and higher average OPS the last three seasons.

IDK I just liked Bourn being at the top of the lineup better than anything. Looking at his numbers he seems okay, but for 15 mil a year though?

"If it ain't broke..." type thing? I can dig it.

I'm a Yanks fan and have seen this dude (BJ) play for years. He's solid. I don't think he'll lead off, though.

Braves have been looking for another Righty power source for two years(and Uggla doesn't count anymore, because fukk Dan Uggla) and this is a great fit.

1. Prado LF
2. Heyward RF
3. Upton CF
4. McCann C
5. Uggla 2B
6. Freeman 1B
7. Simmons SS
8. Francisco 3B

Last year you could bring in a Lefty specialist and negate all the power bats after Prado (Heyward, make Chipper bat Righty(his weaker side), McCann, Freeman).

Besides, I bet you Boras finds some team(Washington) that will give Bourn $100 millon.

its basketball season no one fukking cares about

ball

We took a step back offensively, but Upton should be his equal in the field. Lineup is gonna be ehh to start off the season...IDK if I like Francisco at 3rd over Prado, but that's probably our best bet b/c we'd have a huge hole in left.

I wonder when Mac gets back after the shoulder surgery how productive he'll be. Dude has been since after the 2011 AS Break

Nobody don't care...
