The last thing this team needs is a trouble maker and starting any problems.

Wow this is bad news especially if Chipper goes down. Willy needs to get his act together because he is a valuable member of the bench.

Offensively it would definitely be bad news but defensively I wouldn't have a problem with Woodward or Orr at 3rd. Our team has never had deliquents and shouldn't have one now.

A healthy and motivated Aybar is far better than Woodward or Orr. I hate to see this situation unfold because Aybar a hugh asset as an injury replacement and pinch hitter/starter. That said, it feels really good having Escobar and Prado tearing up AAA right now. Prado was my personal preference to start at 2B before the season started and Escobar is starting to turn me into a believer in him.
Tony Pena was traded for a top 10 Royals prospect before he got injured. I'll take a potential top prospect for a middle infielder the Braves were going to lose on the waiver wire anyhow any day of the week!
