Good job raping your farm system.

Seriously, I was hoping the Braves landed Tex for two reasons:
One, because trades like this is the exact opposite reason the Braves won 70 million division titles in a row. Their incredible farm system constantly supporting and augmenting the major league squad is what made them so consistently good. Trading FOUR of your very best prospects for a declining player (Tex is not as awesome as he used to be, and he's moving from a hitter's paradise to the NL) is exactly something out of the Steve Phillips guidebook.
Two, before the trade deadline I wasn't worried about the Braves. The Mets were injured and underachieving and still in first place. Now, this is gonna get exciting. Bring it on.
