The Braves are serious
Hey, remember the ‘90s? When cardigan sweaters were cool for guys, Sean Combs called himself "Puff Daddy" and the Braves were serious? Well, it looks like they’re serious again about their chances this season. The other NL East rival has been active lately, trading for outfielder Nate McLouth, cutting ties with Tom Glavine and now, apparently, checking in on Brad Penny, as ESPN’s Buster Olney reported today. Olney also reported recently that the Phils had checked in with Boston about Penny, and were told the asking price was Jason Donald. Would you Phils fans make that deal? Would Penny to the Braves bother you?

I would stay away from Penny, he's way too injury prone and Donald is probably your starting 3B next season. If you could give a low end prospect for him then maybe.— JBS67- Why is it we are always looking for what we think is the quick fix? There is no way you make a deal Penny for Donald. Donald is the infield of the future and for those who don't realize it Rollins is in his contract year next year. Why do you think Donald spent so much time at short in spring training? It was to see how well he worked with Utley. Our problems will not be solved with a trade like that since starting is no longer the problem. Or did you all miss the stats posted by the Fox network? Since 2007 Charlie has targeted Madson to be the closer someday but that's not going to happen before they get their moneys worth out of Lidge. If anything we really need a bench player who hits from the right side and is a good situational hitter. The player Cairo was supposed to be. Too many times we needed someone off the bench to just get a single but so far the only bench player to do that is Stairs.— Wally 24
