We would have to trade a lot of our top prospects. I just like the idea of developing younger players through our own system then going out and spending money on star players. Who knows, Schafer, Gorkys, and/or Heyward could potentially become stars. With all of that said, I would not mind seeing Granderson patrolling center at the Ted.

One of my favorite thing about the Braves is that they do an amazing job of getting high quality people and getting rid of low quality people. Grandy is an awesome person. He’s incredibly nice and he loves the game. I’d love to see him play in Atlanta, but I agree, I’m not big on mortgaging the farm for anyone.

His personality and team-first image would be a brilliant fit with the Braves, but we’d likely have to give up a whole lot to bring him aboard. But if we somehow managed to snag him, like right now, four more years at roughly $6mil annually honestly doesn’t seem to steep, and would be what I consider a bargain for a superb defender, and a triples-hitting machine.

In favor of this fantasized move, nonetheless.
