I agree. They have a great shot at the wild card. In the playoffs, they could give San Diego or Atlanta a run for their money.
I think that Atlanta just made one hell of a move in acquiring Farnsworth to set up Reitsma. It sounds stupid, but that could be the difference in a Braves vs. Cubs first round matchup. Farnsworth has been murder on hitters this year. The numbers are just beautiful.
Lawton is one hell of a pick-up, though. Previously thought of as a stroke in my world, those OBP numbers don't lie...he's been kicking a little ass out of the leadoff slot. Huge pick-up.
Too bad WCW isn't in ATL anymore or Farns could moonlight at another job.
