Kotsay for Devine right move?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The Braves are sending pitcher Joey Devine to Oakland in exchange for center fielder Mark Kotsay.
Joey Devine, a former first-round draft pick who has bounced between Atlanta and the minors the last three years has been projected as a possible major league closer. Devine struggled with control early in his career but posted a 1.08 ERA in 10 games last season and had 20 saves in the minors.
Oakland will reportedly assume a large portion Kotsay’s $7.325 million salary. That’s a good thing, since he may be a temporary fill-in until top-prospect Jordan Schaefer is ready to patrol the Ted.
Are the Braves giving up to much for a one-year rental?

The Falcons’ new general manager will be the New England Patriots’ director of college scouting Tom Dimitroff.
Dimitroff, who will replace Rich McKay, will get to hire the new head coach.
Dimitroff, 40, is a highly respected talent evaluator who has worked under Bill Belichick and the Patriots’ Scott Pioli.
You knew what Bill Parcells brought to the table, what do we really know about Tom Dimitroff?
