Drew Carries
J.D. Drew has given the Braves a 3-0 lead with his 29th HR of the year. Looking at his stats for the season, there's nothing wrong with his offensive game. He hits for average, (BA over .300), gets on base (OBA over .400) and hits for power (slugging in the high .500's). He works anywhere in the offense as he both scores runs and drives them in. J.D. is a good percentage base stealer, swiping 10 in 12 attempts. And he's only grounded into 6 double plays all year. Atlanta could not have gotten a better replacement for Gary Sheffield.

GOOOOOOOOO Braves!
I also think they got the best replacement for Lopez. Actually, knowing what I know about Estrada now, I'd rather keep him than get Lopez back.
I love the Braves. :)
And J.D. Drew, as long as he stays healthy, has also been a great pickup!

And how about Charles Thomas? He's my vote for Rookie of the Year.
