I know this is a crazy, shooting from the hip accusation, but John Schuerholz just recently traded Wilsom Betemit. In my opinion, he was the best young hitting talent they had in their organization. He should have been set to take over for Chipper Jones. Schuerholz has also shopped around Andruw Jones. I know he is set to make a bunch of money next season, but Andruw is worth it & he is like having a damn good relief pitcher because he'll save you a run a game just by his defense. We all know his bat is pretty good to. Schuerholz also just traded Jorge Sosa, the only black pitcher they had. In the past Schuerholz has traded guys like Fred McGriff, when he was still in his prime, Jermaine Dye, Gary Matthews Jr., Dieon Sanders when he was in his prime, Ron Gant(in his prime). These are just to name a few. Imagine if the Braves had kept either Dye or Matthews Jr. I don't wan't to hear about economics. You never hear about the Braves wanting to trade Chipper Jones. He makes a lot of money also. Chipper, in my opinion should be traded before Andruw. Chipper has stayed on the DL a lot more lately. Andruw is rarely on the DL. Everytime it seems I start liking one of the Braves players, Schuerholz trades them. A lot of those players were just coincidently black or hispanic, or dominican. The Atlanta Braves in my opinion have become the "good ole white boy" organization. Quiet frankly, trading Betemit was & will prove to be the absolute dumbest thing John Schuerholz has ever done, next to trading Matthews Jr. & Jermaine Dye, who the Braves & Schuerholz gave up on far too early in their careers. I hope Betemit truly comes back to haunt Schuerholz & the Braves one day in a very big way just to shove it up John Schuerholz racist ass!
