It has been a wild day for the Braves. After releasing a future Hall of Famer Tom Glavine, Atlanta has acquired Pittsburgh Pirates All-Star centerfielder Nate McLouth in exchange for right hander Charlie Morton, left hander Jeff Locke and outfielder Gorkys Hernandez.
McLouth is hitting .256 with nine homeruns this season.
Last year the Braves tried to acquire Jason Bay from the Bucs but were unsuccessful and Bay has proven what a tragedy that was. So hopefully McLouth can do for the Braves what Bay has done for the Red Sox. Well frankly, if McLouth plugs along at the rate he’s going, he’ll be an upgrade from Schafer for sure.
