Wow wonder how much they gave up. The guy they got from the Marlins has to be headlining the deal.

I'm sure you've read it by now, but Aybar and their first round pick Newcomb +1. People are saying that the Braves got fleeced, but I personally think people over value Simmons.

Aybar, and their number 1 and two pitching prospects. The #15 draft pick in 2014. A left-handed starter with a 2.45 ERA in AA.

Sean Newcomb, and Chris Ellis. Their 1st and 2nd rank prospects.

People think the Braves got fleeced? Guess I underrate Simmons. To me this seems like a blah deal for the Angels.

Is Aybar good enough to get a QO next year (assuming he maintains average production)?

Defensive metrics.

Defensive metrics.

His metrics suggest he's about 3 times better defensively at short than the next best player in baseball at SS. He's on for a friendly 5 year deal. Age 26, averaging over 4 WAR a season the last 3 years.

How many of those friendly years were pre arb or arb?

He's been the Wilt Chamberlain of defensive metrics. Of course, that doesn't mean he'll continue to play at that level. Whenever he gets a twinge, Angels officials will... cringe.

Sisco and Bundy for Teheran? If Bundy stays healthy, the Braves might like that idea a lot at midseason.

Bundy and healthy in the same sentence just doesn't sound right. Bundy and shut down or day to day seems to be more realistic at this point.

Atlanta would get fleeced in that deal. Bundy doesnt have any value. Cisco might be a 2nd piece in a Teheran deal.

I think that's a shrewd move by Atlanta and they may win the deal. Aybar is not much worse than Simmons, he's a darn good all-around shortstop, but he may be out of town after one year. It all comes down to how those prospects work out.

Don't trade for Braves' pitching. It's never a good thing.

So far Simmons has been Mark Belanger with twice as much power and a batting average 30 points higher. Defense so good that they're marginal MVP candidates OPSing under .700.
