Braves Go To Church

This afternoon, it was announced that the Atlanta Braves traded struggling right fielder Jeff Francouer to the dastardly NY Mets for Ryan Church. Honestly, I don't know how to politely write my true feelings on the matter. The most politically correct thing I can say is, "I hate this trade!" Although Francouer is having another horrible season at the plate, I can't justify trading such a young, dynamic asset WITHIN THE DIVISION! Especially, when all you receive is a past his prime, 31 year old outfielder in return. This move has the potential to haunt Atlanta for many years to come.

At a time like this, I'm left to wonder, what else does Frank Wren have up his sleeve? After all, we're talking about the guy who allowed John Smoltz to become a Boston Red Sock and stabbed Tom Glavine in the back. Well, this trade becomes his latest act of lunacy. What's next, Chipper to the Phillies for a pair of batting gloves? On behalf of angry Braves fans all across America, I would like to extend a very loud RS Sports "BOOOOOOO!!!" to the Braves GM.
