braves didnt have the luxury to just let glavine start of a few games and see how he does. they play in a very tough nl east. honestly who wouldnt want mclouth and hanson on this team. if you had to pick between those two or hurting glavines feelings which would you pick. even if the braves did let him come up and he pitched so so say 4.50 era in a few starts and then they released him people would still bitch. or say if glavine pitched a lil better he would just be blocking hanson all season. as much as it hurts it was the right move.

On Glavine:
It would have been nice to see him play this year and go out on a positive note, but one of the biggest proponents of the “it’s a business” stance can’t complain about the Braves making this move. It was a smart decision, even if it doesn’t sit well.
On McLouth:
Great, smart pickup by the Braves. This is on par with trading for Tex, though in a much better deal for the Braves IMO. And if you read between the lines this could spell the end for Frenchy too. Where will JS play when he makes it back to the bigs? My guess is RF.

Wow! I step away for a few hours and all hell breaks loose!
Gotta say that I am disappointed about Glavine. I understand that the Braves were concerned about his velocity but he has been pitching effectively and supposedly his velocity improved in yesterday’s start. This was obviously a salary dump by the Braves and I think they owed him at least one start to see what he had. I wish him the best of luck and hope he gets a chance with another team.
Concerning the trade. I think this was a great move. McClouth is a terrific centerfielder and I think he solves both the centerfield issue and the leadoff issue. Now KJ can hit lower in the order where he is more comfortable. I think it was a good trade for both teams. McClouth is under contract for several more years so it’s not a “rental” move. We gave up some good players, but there was not a spot for Morton in the rotation and now we have a proven centerfielder so Hernandez is not needed. Oh yeah, and Hanson starts on Saturday!!! Great day for the Braves!!

I’ve said from the start that this Braves team is no better than a .500 team. Today, I believe that outlook has improved considerably. Will it be enough to push the Braves past the Mets and Phillies? I dunno. We’ll just have to wait and see. We still have problems that need to be addressed. Bobby Cox, Terry Pendleton, and Roger McDowell are still here and that can only retard the team’s growth. I like the McLouth trade, but this offense needs more than just one player. Of course, the rotation just got significantly better with the addition of Hanson. Along with Lowe, Jurrjens, and Vazquez, that is a pretty good 4-man rotation. I hope these moves aren’t the end of the changes we are going to see.

Once again, it needs to be stated: a General Manager’s job is too put the best product out on the field in the most cost-effective manner possible.
While this situation is sad for Glavine personally, Frank Wren, as GM, cannot afford to make business decisions that will make his team more competitive in a very winnable division, based on emotion.
The division is up for grabs, Wren knows that and his job is to get the best return on investment with this team.

Frank Wren is not gun-shy.
Just about every move that made sense he has made the past few days. What to do about Jordan, what to do about an outfield bat, where is Hanson, why should Glavine get his spot?, etc…
Not too many GMs are quite so active right now, but Frank is not shy when trying to get this team better NOW.

At first the Glavine move was a head scratcher. But it certainly makes sense now. I’m sure recently-maybe even after last night, Wren decided this team could compete, now. Before, adding Hanson to a solid but flawed team is no excuse for telling Tommy you don’t have room-even with Hudson coming back, and Medlen pitching well. It made some sense, but it probably wasn’t worth alienating an icon. But now? You add Tommy Hanson and Nate McLouth to the mix, and you have an extremely tough lineup and easily one of the best rotations in the bigs. Exciting stuff..

Living in So Cal, this Glavine move is the exact same reason I hated the Dodgers and became a Braves fan. The Dodgers front office in the late 80’s and early 90’s was a headcase..now we go and do something Dodger-like…
I agree that Hanson is better. In fact, I’m happy to see him start on Saturday in place of Glavine. There was really nothing Wren nor this team could have done to avoid the scrutiny IMO. If the let Tommy and Smoltzy go in the same offseason, not good. If they release Glavine after a few starts and waste $1 mil, not good.
I understand Glavine would be flamin’, but the Braves made the right move, even if it doesn’t look good. The Dodgers moves weren’t the right moves, and didn’t look good.

While this may be a good move overall for the team, it was out of the blue. Glavine seemed to be rehabbing well. Couldn’t they have let him pitch a couple games as the 5th starter and then if there was evidence he was washed up, then let him go? I hope that Glavine is picked up by some team and that when he pitches against the Braves, he whips their a**!

Great trade for McLouth! Way to go Frankie! Leadoff man, Gold Glove Centerfielder, WOW! Has stolen 7 bases without being thrown out, has 64 career steals and been thrown out only 5 times. Gap hitter that gets some over the fence too. Close to being a 5 tool guy and for 3 minor leaguers. Minor leaguers with lots of potential, yeah, but a trade the Braves needed to make. 5 tool guys are not a dime a dozen! Can’t believe they were able to get such a quality major leaguer without having to give up one of their “untouchables” in the minors.
That being said, Glavine was treated badly, but also something that needed to be done. Glavine and Smoltz both treated badly in the same year. The mistake was made when they signed Glavine back in the spring. Shouldn’t oughta done that. The timing of his release was horrendous, but as Wren said, they’re trying to put the best team they can on the field. I’ll take Hanson over Glavine at this point in their respective careers.
Methinks Hanson may have been quietly making some noise about it being his time to move up. The squeaky wheel got greased. Who would you rather piss off? A guy at the end of his career, or an upcoming star that may have a long memory when his free agent year rolls around? Hate it was done to Glavine in such a classless manner, but I thought his move to the Mets was rather classless also.

waits an hour – then releases the news that Braves traded for McClouth. Shrewd… very shrewd (and very smart!)
Frank did the same the weekend Smoltz was not signed.

Glavine was great for the Braves. Won the World Series. But give Wren credit today. He is willing to act. The changes are exciting. I am not unhappy at all. Meanwhile, any bets where Glavine goes. Mets certainly one possibility with CitiField and history there, Phillies already have Moyer and a bandbox, so best bet would be Joe Torre and the Dodgers, following Maddux. And a real chance at playoffs for him with a large stadium. Before sending, Derek Lowe shows how to pitch plugging Theriot. Now hit Soriano and Lilly!

Very poor form for the Braves on the Glavine move. You don’t sign the guy, rehab him and all that to release him right before he’s ready to pitch. Nothing has changed about the pitching staff since he signed. You knew when you committed to him that the rotation was already set and Hanson was ready. They shouldn’t have signed him if they weren’t prepared to let him pitch and delay Hanson. I got no problem with letting Hanson pitch, but you can’t attempt to travel both paths. When you do, you end up looking bad like this.

Gotta think that Hanson is gonna sell quite a few more seats than Glavine would. Hate to see it happen to the guy but you gotta think the rotation is more solid with Hanson in the long run. Glavine will make some money from someone. I bet he resigns with the Mets- don’t see him pitching in that Philly park.
The trade looks win/win to me. Both teams fill needs (Braves immediate and Pittsburgh gets 3 solid prospects who could contribute in the very near future.

Well, they did it again. the Braves gave up too much for McLouth. Two of the top eight prospects plus Morton who was 7-2 at Gwinnett. You would have hoped that they had learned from the embarrassing Drew and Teixeira trades. But, alas, they did not.
And, they handled the Glavine matter poorly as well. Poor dumb management.
But, at least three more genuine prospects escaped Atlanta and Glavine can go elsewhere. Good for them.

The Glavine situation reminds me of Warren Spahn, my all-time favorite. The Braves decided that he couldn’t do it anymore and basically dumped him on the Mets as a player/coach. He went something like 6-14, but it wasn’t just because of the Mets. His legs were gone and his fastball was way down, even though he had a pretty good year previous.
I think they asked him if he wanted to retire, like they did with Glavine, and Spahn said no.

The fact the Braves held on to their top four prospects in Heyward, Freeman, Hanson, and Medlen is tremendous work by Wren. If they got a rental OFer like Holliday for this package I’d be as upset as you. But considering McLouth is one of the best CFers in the game and signed cheaply through 2012, I think this is a fantastic move.
I was a Morton fan, but Locke is so far away from the finished product and Hernandez’s bat has been questionable at best.

McLouth is a great addition. Although I hate see Morton and Hernandez go, the fact is we just don’t need them now. The best part is that the Braves didn’t part with Hanson, Medlen, Heyward, Freeman, Schafer, or Cody Johnson. My guess is that Wren is still looking for a power outfielder or first baseman. If he pulls that off the Braves could/should go deep into the playoffs.

That contract is excellent, cheap and for an extended period of time. either he or Schafer will move to LF next season, and Heyward will bump someone soon after. Very nice.
The Braves are now my favorites to win the World Series in 2010
I don’t think there will be too much question now of what to do with the rotation. Hudson’s option can easily be picked up, because they really won’t have to make any signings this offseason outside of the bullpen. And I don’t think anyone needs to be traded out either, Kawakami can be moved into the bullpen (unless Hudson becomes a brilliant closer when he comes back late this year in the pen). I also think Medlen has the abilty to come in and do well out of the bullpen. So resign Soriano and Gonzalez, there won’t be much increase in this years salary, and next years team is looking good.
2010 roster-
C: Brian McCann (he will continue to get better)
1B: Casey Kotchman (he will continue to get better)
2B: Kelly Johnson
SS: Yunel Escobar (he will continue to get better)
3B: Chiper Jones (Infante probaly about once a week)
