Towers royally screwed himself and, believe me, the rest of baseball has noticed. He won't come close to getting the type of deal he would've gotten from the Braves, and still, he's stuck now having to trade Peavy. He'll get far less in return. It's not out of the realm of possibility the Braves sign Lowe or Burnett -- or both -- and still land Peavy for a deal that won't hurt Atlanta as much as last week's proposed deal. --30-- KT: You are right on about that.

If the Braves get Burnett and Lowe and don't have to give up anything that will prove to be a big win for the Braves. Towers got insane with trying to get just one more player thrown in. If Peavy was worth all that he wanted the Braves to give up to get him the Padres would've been in the playoffs. It took big stones to call the Padres bluff.

Who do you think the Braves will get to help their starting rotation? Other than Tim Hudson their other pitcher’s are average. Who do you think the Braves will get to help their starting rotation?
