I'm happy with the deal now. Lillibridge + Gonzalez for LaRoche is fine with me.

Yeah, I like it a lot. I am a lot higher on Thorman than you though. The offense is doesn't look great, Andruw needs to be better than last year & Chipper can't get hurt.

According to Baseball Prospectus, the best part of this trade was the Braves getting the SS prospect Lillibridge. Pirates lose again

Man, I was hoping to be the one to break this news. PECOTA loves him and Sickels gave him a grade B. The only thing I worry about is he's a little old (23) to be getting his first crack at AA. Still, if things go well, he could be the Braves 2B by the end of this season.

bingo

i don't really consider the 2006 deadline deals that important. it's clear from this offseason that no one wants craig wilson anyway.

Braves have signed Craig Wilson, probably be a Thorman/Wilson platoon this season. I'm even more happy now.
