I think the Rays got a great deal in this trade. I wish we could have made a move. I thin kwe could have gotten him for Minor + mid level prospect.

Nothing wrong with having Swisher at the right price. I would assume many teams after him, which drives the price up...

1 year of Shields for Myers? That's a rip off.

+1!

Two years, still a high risk trade if Myer lives up to his potential.

With Myers now gone and guessing Alex is off the block with that move, do the Braves circle back around to the Justin Upton with the D-Backs. Keeping Simmons out of it but prehaps willing to deal Delgado with another high ranking prospect not named JT?

That won't happen, i think J. Upton ship has sailed, we don't know if Bonifacio is available and i haven't read any other report about De Aza being available, so the most logical choices are Choo, Willingham or going with a Francisco/Johnson platoon.

Its possible. You never know with FW. I personally would perfer a speed guy who hits for average. I dnt know, but speed and high average players are my weakness.

Let's do an experiment, how would the numbers looked if we use a platoon of Francisco/Johnson last year (Francisco at 3B vs RHP and Johnson in LF vs LHP):

.278/.323/.461 .337 wOBA 110 wRC+

This platoon is a worst case scenario in my opinion, but those numbers are above league for a LF or 3B, so it won't be the worst thing in the world.
