The Braves

It's obvious Rafael Furcalreally wasn't as interested in returning to Atlanta as he was with getting a better offer from the Dodgers. LA played right along of course, sweetening Atlanta's $10 million a year offering enough to close a deal with the leadoff hitter.
Atlanta fans have a right to be disappointed as another big name player move bogs down, leaving the Braves with Javier Vasquez and not a lot else to show so far. However, did the Braves really want to invest $10 million per in an infielder who hasn't been able to stay on the field in recent years?
Hopefully they will move past this Furcal mess, stay active and keep pushing for Peavey. If not, a lesser package could bring a good bat for left field or first base.
Texeiria would be the best possible signing, but Atlanta has never in been in that game. I guess if Tex had wanted to come back he would have made that clear during the season. However, it's hard to believe someone would talk SERIOUSLY with the Nationals and the Orioles but not be willing to do business with the Braves.
Adam Dunn hits a lot of homers and draws walks, but his defense is dreadful and Cox won't stand for that. Dunn's offense is underrated, but his play in left is awful? How about at first? We need another bat.
