I simply wanted a new voice this time. Don't look into it too much. Actually, I interviewed Martin from Talking Chop twice and Mac from Braves Journal twice, respectively.

Why the change to Chop-N-Change? I mean, I wouldn't be shocked if the other guy irritated you because his questions to you last time were pretty awful. Anyway, just pointing it out :) hmm, color me crazy, but didn’t you interview someone from the blog Talking Chop all season, DJ? Why the change to Chop-N-Change?

I believe the rats have deserted the sinking ship S.S.Braves.

I think the huge payoff was referring to the output they are getting. So maybe the logic is, without Teix, they wouldn't even have the 3% chance? Not sure what if anything the other prospects in the deal are up to, but it sounds like the Braves still have a decent supply of young talent (to go along with all the relatvie newcomes playing in the majors already). So they could be dangerous in the next few years as they reload. Trading Salts did make sense, since he was blocked at C (unless his real home is 1B), but similar to Kazmir, the deal might end up stinking not just because of who they traded, but who they got back from him. Maybe a Pelfrey from the Mets would have helped them more (just a for instance).

They're not going to the playoffs, but it would sure be nice for even their fantasies to be buried at Shea. 2 of 3 should about do that. Sweep would be icing.
