Looks like we finally may have a new doormat in our division next year. About time.

I'm ready to see Simba show Yunel how a real braves SS acts and plays....wish we could get Stanton!

Hard to believe just 1 year ago..the marlins were stacking themselves up for a serious run....wow..can't say I have seen this..

Merry Christmas, South Florida taxpayers.

#Marlins have traded 6 of 8 from 2012 Opening Day lineup, top 3 starters and their closer in the last 4 months. A disgrace of a franchise.

If Wren doesn't botch this LF/CF situation, the Braves might win 100 games next season.

As of right now (as I track it in Twitter)
FLA to get:
Marisnick/Gose
Wilson/Mathis
Marisnick
Alverez
Nicolino

How awesome would that be?! Move Heyward to left and stick Stanton in right while.hitting between J and.Freddie....beastly!

[beldugo]

I'd trade Heyward for Stanton

[jwn0303]

Why would we move Heyward from right? He was the best right fielder defensively in baseball last year.

A few reasons:

- The Marlins will look like a minor league team next season. Braves won the series 14-4 and it could slant even more in our favor.

- I am not certain that the Phillies will completely bounce back. Their best players are still old and battled injuries, and I don't know if we can expect Ruiz to repeat his 2012 performance.

- The Braves won 94 games with the AL East on the schedule. In 2013, they play the AL Central.

- The Braves' best players are all young, entering their prime, or in their prime. Heyward, Freeman, Medlen, Kimbrel, Prado, Minor, etc.

- A full season of Prado at 3B and (hopefully healthy) Simba should tighten up the left side defense, which was a problem last season.

But as I said, it comes down to how Wren deals with the LF + CF situations.

Get so pissed off that you want to play for the braves...you know you want to...

And yea...why are we moving J-hey from RF??
