The Braves wasted no time in going for the NL East Crown and loading up as they have already spent a Pretty Penny in the Outfield in the Off-Season acquiring former Rays CF BJ Upton. Now the Impossible has happened and the BJ will reunite with Little Brother Justin in the Braves Outfield.After spending a 5-Year $75 plus million Contract of BJ Upton the Braves have now positioned themselves to arguably have one of the Best Outfields in the Show acquiring BJ's Younger Brother Justin from the D-Backs. Yes the Braves gave away young and talented Martin Prado but they get back a Five-Tool Players and not just throwing that around, that is just Two Years removed from finishing #2 in the 2011 NL MVP Voting.
The Braves also keep their Top Three Home Growns in the Deal and the Braves OF from Left to Right will or should look like this on Opening Day 2013:
Note: 2012 Numbers
Braves New Outfield names "Peach Drop 3" Tomahawk 404 Edition
LF Justin Upton @Jus10UP10p .280 avg 17 Bombs 67 Ribbies 18 thefts (pictured above right)
C BJ Upton @BJUpton2 .246 avg 28 Bombs 78 Ribbies 31 thefts (pictured right)
RF Jason Heyward @JasonHeyward .269 avg 27 Bombs 82 Ribbies 21 thefts
Looking at the 2012 Numbers they all can Run, the all hit for Power, they are Run Producers, and not to mention they bring Good Leather and Great Speed into the Gaps.
I know Braves Nation has endured a lot as its not the NL East Pennants they should be collecting but the Big Trophy and the Parade down Peachtree shouldn't be that far away now with that Braves Pitching and the "PEACH DROP 3" Tomahawk 404 Edition.
