I think you vastly undervalue Prado. Braves fans think he is a steal at that price, and we would have signed him to that in a heartbeat if we had had the cash. He doesn't hit for much power, but he's a plus defender at any position not in the battery, he hits for a great average and is a fan favorite and a clubhouse guy. And third is currently a hot commodity in the MLB. A lot of teams have some shitty third basemen these days - the Braves now included.

I think Braves' fans are prone to overvalue him (myself included), but Prado is one of the best 2-hole hitters I've ever had the pleasure of watching. He was such a table-setter for the offense, and I'm not sure who is going to do that for the Braves now.
