I don't mind Pastornicky or Collins (especially if Pastornicky develops more pop), so it's not like Atlanta got completely hosed. But being so keen to get rid of someone with the skillset of Yunel is a bit disturbing.

I'm a big fan of Yunel's skillset and it's tough to like this deal from the Braves standpoint since a year or two ago Yunel was highly coveted and mentioned as more of a centerpiece in a big trade than getting Alex G. But I can also see that it was time for Atlanta to move on. Now I'm hoping that Yunel can get back on track since he's been killing my fantasy team.
And here's to hoping that Tiny Tim makes it. there's nothing better in baseball than a good story like his.
