Jaye Chapman and Vizcaino for Reed Johnson and Paul Maholm + cash.
I really like this trade for the Braves. Add a good RH bat and a guy who can play all 3 OF spots. Definitely an upgrade over Diaz/Hinske. Maholm has been a stud lately 5-0 1.00 ERA in last 7 starts and gives much needed depth to the rotation.
Not sure why a lot of Braves fans are upset about losing Viz. He would be a setup/closer which will be occupied by Venters/Kimbrel for quite some time. Injury issues in both NY and ATL as well.
No blockbuster but it works.

Some comments said by my friends & I during last night's comeback win against Arizona that lasted until 1am:
"Jason Bay is a f*cking zombie. It looks like Terry Collins smacks him in the nose with a newspaper every time he K's, and now he's terrified to swing. Did he just piss in his pants?"
"Bay should go to the minors to revive his career. He could become a pitcher!" "...huh?" "Yeah, he's already half way there since he f*cking hits like one."
"Jason bay looks like he scalped Liam Neeson and sewed his hair from The Grey to his head. He finally looks worse than he plays."
"Is it wrong to hope Jason Bay ping-pongs his head off the outfield wall and thinks he's a zebra for the rest of his contract?"
I think he's officially the worst contract ever. Do you realize he's making $17 million to strike out and misplay fly balls? He has 3 more RBI's than a guy named Vinny Rottino who played for about a week in the big leagues. He has less home runs than a little 2b who has had less at-bats than Bay (Jordanny Valdespin). He's batting .164. I haven't looked at his defensive stats but I'd assume he's -infinity in everything. I'd rather pay A-Rod $30 million than Jason Bay $5 million, and he's making $12 mil more than that.

Make any trade they want as long as they stay behind the Nationals.

F*ck Jason Bay. God dammit.
I think it's safe to say Jason Bay is the worst free agent signing in Mets history, and that's saying something considering we've signed guys like Bobby Bonilla, Vince Coleman, Jeromy Burnitz, and Roberto Alomar.
The best thing the Mets can do with Bay, I think, is to just bite the bullet and eat the rest of his contract and release him. They're not going to get any type of talent in a trade for him nor will any other team be willing to take on much (if any) of his contract. He's a liability in the field and at the plate and the only reason he gets any playing time at all is because of his ridiculous contract. They should just release him now. If history is any indication he'll become a superstar again as long as he leaves the Mets.
i dont even know if its injury related. he's just like ubaldo where he just doesn't have the mechanics to have the same release point every pitch, which is the most crucial thing for a pitcher if you know anything about pitching. couple that with the fact that hes one of the smallest starting pitchers in the MLB, and the fact that he threw 220 INN a year and then had several deep postseason runs, and he's just worn down already.
i honestly could see him being converted into a closer role eventually in his career, i think it fits better for him. they're obviously not going to give up just yet but his velocity, K/9, K:BB have all been in decline since his rookie year. not a good trend for a SP expected to be ace caliber and this year has just been the culmination of it all. a lot of people have been trying to write it off as a fluke but the numbers prove otherwise and there are a lot of other reasons to believe the numbers are not without explanation
Timmay pitching every entire seasons like CC's "pitch a complete game every start because my team is only renting me for a couple of months" Brew Crew stint probably didn't help.

I don't know about converting him. It worked with Eck but then Cone, Glavine and Guidry were small and had great careers.
It's kind of scary how a career can just go downhill like that, especially when the player was so good at such a young age.
Which is exactly why giving contracts to pitchers that go beyond 4 or 5 years can be incredibly stupid, unless it's a freak like Sabathia who can throw 230+ a year without issue.
