The Braves acquired Justin Upton along with Chris Johnson for Martin Prado, Randall Delgado, Nick Ahmed, Zeke Spruill, and Brandon Drury. Giving up Prado is obviously the downer in the deal, but if he wasn’t or couldn’t be signed to an extension, he was only in Atlanta for another season, while Upton is here for 3 seasons. 小贾: 斧头军们, 大家好, 偶来面会偶老哥...﹨(╯▽╰)∕ MVPrado: 想多赚点钱友凑吗~~~不用赶我出去啊~~~哭哭~~~~ Looking from the Braves’ perspective, they don’t get a whole lot better in 2013, but they get considerably better moving forward. Both Prado and Upton are 4-5 win players, but while that’s probably Prado’s ceiling, Upton could be quite a bit better, possibly MVP-caliber. This gives the Braves a slight edge in 2013, but it isn’t likely to make a significant difference for the next season. 斧头军不要因为这个交易就嗨过头了, 不过就是两个WAR 4~5的家伙交换宿舍而已 Moving forward, this gives the Braves another 4-5 win player for two additional seasons at a total cost of $38.5M for all 3, a bargain for someone of Upton’s caliber, along with keeping the better pitching prospect in Julio Teheran (and JR Graham and Sean Gilmartin). ..............●( ¯▽¯；● 好啦......其实斧头军这次赚很大 我们等於多弄到WAR4~5的球员另外两年的美好时光, 同时还不用丢掉球队顶级的几条手臂(Teheran, Graham, Gilmartin) Regarding Johnson, he’s another 3B option, and he can be the starter, part starter as a member of a Francisco platoon, or primary bench player. He’s not a lefty masher, but he’s better than Francisco against lefties. He’s signed for $2.88M as a Super Two and is under control through the 2016 season. 不要忘了小贾还带了个室友小强过来 小强可以站3B炮打南面爪而且还能便宜用4年 For the Diamondbacks, this rearranges assets for 2013 and thickens out the farm system. With the signing of Cody Ross, the DBacks had 5 outfielders – Upton, Ross, Jason Kubel, Gerardo Parra, and Adam Eaton – and with obviously no way to get them all in, this essentially moves the 4-5 win player to 3B. 蛇蛇补了农场, 所以他们在这场交易里没有亏(吗?) 他们有才的GM弄来了5个外野手, 才突然发现一场比赛只能派3个外野手上场(惊!!!) The problem for them is that they give up significant future value because Prado may leave at the end of the season. Gaining some of that value back, the DBacks also acquired Delgado, Ahmed, Spruill, and Drury. 交易过去的人都很不错, 只有一些小问题(心虚....) MVPrado说他明年想要一大笔安家费..... Delgado will have to battle to get into a rotation that already has Ian Kennedy, Trevor Cahill, Wade Miley, Brandon McCarthy, Tyler Skaggs, and Daniel Hudson coming back from Tommy John at some point in the season, so he may or may not add value to the team anytime soon, though he could be flipped elsewhere. Delgado可以去抢个rotation的位置, 不过蛇蛇的SP好像本来人选就很多..... Ahmed becomes a future 2B or 3B option as the DBacks already have Cliff Pennington, Didi Gregorius, and Chris Owings in the organization, and Ahmed is more likely to fill in a position vacated by either Aaron Hill or Martin Prado, though the DBacks also have 3B prospect Matt Davidson coming close to the majors. Ahmed未来可以当2B,3B或SS哦....ㄟ....不过好像每个位置都有人了(囧) Spruill is more pitching depth, and considering the depth and higher-ceiling prospects in the organization, he’s probably trade bait for them as well. Spruill用不到他没关系啦,你们可以拿去其它店换你们真的需要的货色..... Drury was the final piece, and while he has some offensive upside, he may be 1B by the time all is said and done, which means he’ll have to hit a lot to be of much value. Drury的话....嗯.....其实我们斧头军跟他也不熟....(晕) All told, the DBacks rearrange some assets for 2013, not a terrible decision given what they had (though one could certainly ask whether they should have been in that situation to begin with), and forego quite a bit of future value for the sake of minor-league depth. This seems to indicate a future trade as the DBacks have built up curious depth in starting pitching and shortstop. 看到这里, 蛇蛇迷应该可以放心了(咦) (还有蛇迷在看吗.....汗.....) 你们GM有长远的战略眼光, 他这次为你们赢得了光明的未来..... Although this trade involved Prado (a bummer), the Braves are at least as good as they were before for 2013 and possibly a tiny bit better, but it puts the future of the MLB team in much better shape. (严肃貌)至於斧头, 它还是同一把斧头, 我们没有变得更好(殴....) Trading Delgado, Ahmed, Spruill, and Drury was basically trading away areas of depth, and the team kept Julio Teheran, who has a higher ceiling than all of them, along with Sean Gilmartin, the next closest pitcher in MLB-readiness, and JR Graham, a high-upside arm whose role is still undetermined. Teheran, Gilmartin, Graham, 再不好好练球, 你们就跟那四个一样搬出宿舍(鞭) As far as the payroll goes, the trade leaves the Braves with about $5M, which gives the team flexibility to get a better bench option (Kelly Johnson?) or have payroll flexibility for a deadline deal. You should be happy about this Braves’ fans. Now let’s hope for some extensions. Wren突然发现这笔交易害他要想办法消化多出来的预算..... ※ 编辑: ashidaka 来自: 1.170.216.53 (01/25 23:00)
