derek Lowe also hit his FIRST career homer in the game
Matt Talbert
Great pickup Wren. It would have been nice to get Carroll but Wilson is a slick-fielding nice backup to Gonzalez – much better than Lugo.
Jbraves
Hell he’s an upgrade over a-gone
coolstorybro222
Hitting wise, yes. Fielding? about the same. But DANG we got Carroll too? is he eligible for the playoffs?
Tyler 20
We didn’t get J. Carroll, says we had interest in him, and yeah he would have been playoff eligible.

Wilson is younger, better. When healty, one of the best defensive SSs in the game. He was sick in Pitt. Mustve led in BBTN webgems in 09.
Isaac
One of the best. True but Troy Tulowitzki’s the best fielding S.S correct?
Jbraves
Is Troy on our team? No. So he’s not part of this equation

Wilson is hitting .249, but has an OPS of .577 and an OPS+ of 65. Gonzalez is hitting .226, but has an OPS of .597 and an OPS+ of 64. It’s not THAT significant of an upgrade, if at all.

And in case of mass injury like last season it keeps Conrad out of the field
Jeff 31
Conrad won’t even be on the roster.
Ross/Hinske/Diaz/Wilson/Heyward will be bench
(I do sniff at last part)

As much as I like Diaz, I would’ve preferred Francoeur, if sticking with former Braves.
Baseballfan83 2
He just re-uped for 2 years with the Royals that would have been horrible for us to get that crap contract and dumb for the Royals to sign him then trade him.
triguous
The Braves were asking about him before the extension.

best bench in baseball
Dude Solarsystem
It looks the Braves will soon have more middle infielders on their bench than fans in the stands.
