2. Acquire Michael Bourn for Jordan Schafer, Juan Abreu, Paul Clemens, and Brett Oberholtzer

3. Claim Eric O’Flaherty off waivers

10/ Signed Eric Hinske to a one year, 1 million dollar contract

The Worst of the Worst

1. Sign Derek Lowe to 4 year, 60 million dollar contract

2. Sign Kenshin Kawakami to 3 year, 21 million dollar contact

3. Sign Dan Uggla to five year, 62 million dollar extension

4. Acquire Nate McLouth for Charlie Morton, Gorky Hernandez, and Jeff Locke

5. Sign Tom Glavine to one year, 7 million dollar contract

What Frank Wren is really good at:

- Trades. Aside from the McLouth deal, he’s won most of them. No Teixeira like stinkers.

- Waiver claims- EO’F and Cristhian for nothing. Well done

- Screap heap signings. Ross, Glaus, Hinske, and more all for less than 2 mill a season

What Wren has been really bad at:

- Big money signings. His three biggest mistakes all involve giving way too much money to old players

- Drafts: Braves have gotten 3 major leaguers out of Wren’s drafts, and little hope for any further. Not really his fault as Liberty gives him no money to spend.
