Thread: Breaking News: Braves Acquire Baez, Aybar From Dodgers For Betemit

  1. #16
    Compared to Betemit, yeah.

    Actually..no. 4 SBs in 200 ABs. He looks fast, at least.

    Assuming Baez walks in the offseason, we'd get two picks in the top three rounds in next year's rookie draft. Plus we keep Aybar around for at least 3 more years, and we use Baez for 2 months.

    Beats dealing Betemit for Proctor.

    I wish it was Linebrink instead.

    I do too, though I wouldn't have minded if we got an infielder in return as well.

    Yeah but that infielder can't pitch. We can live with Pena Jr. or Pete Orr at 3B, we really just need an overhaul in pitching. July has been a fairly good month for consistency, but I don't think any braves fan actually trusts the pen and never will this season.

    And don't get my wrong, I hate to lose Betemit, he is good and could become even better. He gave a lot of flexibility to rest Chipper and Renteria. I'd honestly would have rather seen mini-me Giles dealt.

    What this basically boils down to is this: Do you trust JS? I do, so I think this is a good trade.

    Dry is that dude. He knows what's up. This trade is pretty shitty for Atlanta.

    I know little about Aybar, I hope he contributes. More importantly, I hope Baez works out.. I'm just waiting for Tyler Yates to give up 10 runs or something in an inning.

    Hey, I like Tyler Yates, he's been solid. Surprised we haven't seen Damian Moss yet though.

    Wasn't Aybar the top LA spec a few years ago?

    Are you sure you aren't thinking of the other LA's Aybar? Erick Aybar? I know he's a top spect. He was rumored to have been the centerpiece of a possible Carlos Lee deal until the Rangers nabbed him.

    And I didn't know Betemit played "good" defense at third. I heard he sucked at D everywhere.

    Erick Aybar's an Angels prospect, yes, but I am thinking of Willy, for sure.

    Betemit plays decent defence at third, compared to his adventures at short.
