This trade does make sense, especially from a defensive standpoint. Since Gotay can play SS/2B, I don't mind haveing Norton come in occasionally for Chipper/Teixeira late in games or for a spot/rest start. Prado has been good offensively, but not as strong with the glove. I think this trade helps out the infield depth for the short term. Also, since the Braves still have 3 cathers on thier roster, which is odd, but someone said it was a waiver thing, that means the Braves need a 4th OF (Blanco), a CI (Norton) and a MI (Gotay) off the bench. However, since most of these players, sans Blanco, are more defensive players, this does limit our pinch-hitting ability. Did anyone see Jo-Jo Reyes PH last game?
