    How do you think they'd set up their outfield? Bourn in center, Bruce in right, and Stubbs in left? Or move Bruce to left and put Stubbs in right? Stubbs is an excellent defender

    Stubbs is a great defensive CF, but they want to get Alonso's bat in the lineup. I think Stubbs may turn into a 4th OF.

    Until the braves show something significant I ain't buying. But it does seem as if the braves were playing poker with the astros so maybe we get their best offer sometime soon.

    I had forgotten they brought Alonso up. I heard he's a bad defender in left but like you said they need to see if his bat can help out their underperforming lineup

    I saw a little of Alonso and his swing reminded me a bit of a young Berkman...lofty heights.

    Offense isn't the Reds' problem. Arguably the best offense in the NL.

    They should be focused on pitching and defensive upgrades.

    I hope one is Julio Rodriguez...potential to be a stud down the road but not one of their big boys.

    I wonder when we will hear these names. I was hoping the Braves would step up and part with a couple of their pitchers.

    I am hoping they end up being a bit more then "throw ins". Curious as heck, either way...good job Ed.
