Braves got Adam LaRoche for Casey Kotchman.
At the beginning of the season i thought Kotchman would provide .285 AVG, 15 HR, 70 RBI but he hasn't shown any HR power but was a good contact hitter witha gold glove, and LaRoche adds to the Braves lack of HR hitters his defense is good.
what are your thoughts? a lot of people don't like this trade because Kotchman was still controllable for another 2 years (i think) and we basically getLaRoche for only the rest of the season. (Braves seem to think Freddie Freeman (1B) will be ready for 2010)
