I don’t mind the talent swap, but I really hope this isn’t too much for Schafer too soon.

Wow, I’m psyched… I figured we’d find a trading partner, but I didn’t think we’d get someone with as much upside as Darrow seems to have at first look.

I really wish Anderson could’ve stuck, because I would really like to see a real SB threat at the top of the order, but he just couldn’t do enough on top of that speed.

I kind of wish we would season Schafer a little longer at AAA, but I highly doubt they made this move to make room for Blanco in center… I assume Gregor is now the 5th OFer (if we keep a 5th,) but this does increase the possibility that Brandon Jones spends some time in the majors, which is also probably a plus for the organization.

Good Job Frank!.. and good luck Josh…

Best prime-years CF, but who else do they have in the outfield? Marcus Thames, Gary Sheffield, Carlos Guillen, and Magglio Ordonez. That’s like having Garry Maddox in CF and Pete Incaviglia in both outfield corners.

From Millwood to Estrada to Villarreal to Anderson to Darrow. Another entry in an interesting trade train — each trade was basically forced, but each brought at least a modest return.

I like Darrow — we can always use a hard-throwing bullpen arm with control, and better that he’s young and cheap than old an expensive.

For a team with arguably the best prime-years centerfielder in baseball.

That’s a hell of a pickup for what Anderson really is. A late inning defensive specialist/pinch runner.

The #11 prospect for the Tigers may well be the #25 prospect for the Braves.

Still a decent pickup for a team forced to sell.

Barring injury, Schafer’s the CF.

Wow, so does this mean the Jordan Schafer era has begun? For some reason I’m all giddy.
