Yes... the Braves are my favorite team... thou it doesn't look like he is going to ultimately get traded now.
When a player is place on waivers it's supposed to be kept confidential until something might happen... which is why I was worried. At any rate, when a player of his calibur is put on waivers... someone leaked... and nothing is going to happen... for now anyway. I fear another poor stretch might change that. We had a real good one to get back into the wild card race, but I think we need one more to seriously entertain thoughts of getting it.

I am almost positive Maddux left as a free agent.
Anyway, the Braves have been progressively cheaper and cheaper and it caught up with them this year. Even the few good moves they have made the last five years ended with good players (Sheffield, J.D. Drew, Furcal, etc.) not a Brave anymore. It makes me very sad to see all this.
I think Andruw will be safe for the rest of this year, but this offseason? Who knows... you'd have to be on crack to trade away a player of his caliber. I mean offensively and defensively combined, Andruw has to be a top five or ten player in the league, you can't just replace that.
I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens.
