Tim Collins stats look good to me http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=collin004tim
I think Blanco is probably our new lead-off hitter also or am i wrong? |

Gregor Blanco - outfielder. Career MLB stats: 531 at-bats, .252 AVG., 1 HR, 42 RBI. Yes, you are reading that correctly. They just got an outfielder that has 1 home run in 531 at-bats.
Jesse Chavez - right-handed relief pitcher. Career in MLB: 116 games, 4.92 ERA, 1.45 WHIP Tim Collins - left-handed relief pitcher. Actually has good numbers in the minors. 2.35 ERA and 1.09 WHIP in 116 games. Still in AA right now. |

The Braves on Saturday filled a void in center field and added to their deep bullpen in a trade with the Royals, obtaining Rick Ankiel and Kyle Farnsworth.
Kansas City got reliever Jesse Chavez, outfielder Gregor Blanco and minor-league right-hander Tim Collins. With Nate McLouth demoted to the minors and Melky Cabrera hitting .265, Ankiel can take over in center. He recently returned from a strained quadriceps that cost him more than two months and has four homers and 15 RBI in 92 at-bats this season. Farnsworth is 3-0 with a 2.42 ERA in 37 appearances. He served as Atlanta's closer down the stretch in 2005 after coming over from Detroit. Chavez, 26, is 3-2 with a 5.89 ERA in 28 games. Blanco was sent down July 21 but made 16 starts in center field for Atlanta this year and has a .252 average in 204 major-league games. Collins, 20, went from Toronto to Atlanta in the Yunel Escobar-Alex Gonzalez deal earlier this month. He is just 5-foot-7 and 155 pounds but has 87 strikeouts in 51 innings at Double-A. |

Gregor Blanco, CF, 0.670 OPS in very limited major-league AB, 0.733 in his minor-league career. Not excited about him at all.
Jesse Chavez, Relief RHP, over 1.4 WHIP in limited major-league innings, 1.315 WHIP in his triple-A career, about 2.5 BB/K in AAA. eh, not all that excited about him either. Tim Collins, Relief AA LHP (we clearly dont have enough left-handed pitching. We have to have close to the most left-handed talent in baseball), 1.086 minor league WHIP, about 3.5 K/BB in the minors. However, he's gone nuts this year, 15.4 K/9 in AA. Wow, thats actually pretty good. Looks to me like a very good B+/A- AA minor league lefty-relief pitching prospect and 2 very fringey AAA C-/D prospects. Braves fans seem emotionally attached to Blanco, but his stats really dont look special at all.
