Baseball in November

I decided to mix it up a little today and give some info that is going on in the baseball world these last few days especially since I am an Atlanta Braves fan. The Braves have made the first big move of the off season by first signing B.J. Upton to a 5 year contract. Then today they made another big move that I was glad they did by trading away right handed pitcher Tommy Hanson to the Angels for reliever Jordan Walden. By making this move the Braves have now cleared up $4 million so that they now can go after another outfielder to play alongside Jason Heyward and B.J. Upton. The Braves were allowed to move Hanson because of all their young and talented arms like Julio Teheran and Randall Delgado

The first person that has been coming up in the outfielder talks is the brother of B.J., Justin Upton. I have also heard of them trying to get someone who could bat lead off like a Shane Victorino. I hope that they can figure something out to get Justin Upton because I believe that B.J. Upton can handle the lead off duties or even Martin Prado. If all goes right their lineup could look like (Upton, Prado, Upton, Heyward, McCann, Uggla, Freeman, Simmons, the pitcher). If it happens to be something like that you can not pitch around anyone because they can all hit. With the pitching rotation and bullpen they have, the Braves should be considered a title contender next year for sure.

Stay tuned to see what happens in the next few days.
