Interesting deal...kind of glad that Houston traded this guy, as he seemed pesky.

Whoaaaa... nice new transaction icon.

I wonder if this increases our chances now of holding on to Coco and/or Linebrink...I know Houston was a big player for relief help

the braves outfield is going to be really quick with Anderson and Hernandez, but that makes Luke Scott "less" available...

I looked at Anderson, and his OBP in AAA was very unimpressive. He had a few good AB's in the bigs, and it looks like ATL overpaid.

From what I saw of Anderson in a small sample size I really liked this kid. I feel he's gonna be a very solid MLB player in a few years.

Not really, from what I've heard they are pretty content with Lee in left, Bourn in center, and Pence in right. I highly doubt that they'll keep Scott as their number 4 outfielder.
