AJC article on trading LaRoche and Giles

[Lenny]

There is an article in the AJC today about rumors of Giles being traded to San Diego and LaRoache going to the Angels.

On the first full day of baseball's winter meetings Monday at Disney World, the Braves and at least five teams discussed trades that could bring Atlanta an elite setup man and a left-handed reliever, with second baseman Marcus Giles and possibly first baseman Adam LaRoche among those who could be involved.

The Los Angeles Angels have strong interest in LaRoche, and the Braves might listen if the Angels are willing to part with a package that includes utility man Chone Figgins and a pitcher. However, the Angels consider 23-year-old starter Ervin Santana and top setup man Scot Shields nearly untouchable.

I'm going to laugh my ass off (and cry all year) when we decide to replace Marcus Giles with Martin Prado.

Just the idea we can just trot anyone out there and replace Giles' production at 2b is ridiculous. Especially when you consider how long it took us to develop a 2b who could actually stand up there and not have the bat knocked out of his hands.

Ill just be crying Tex when I see Prado out there.....
