The answer to the question of "one piece or not?" is pretty obvious to me.

A bat that can hit .280 with 25 homers over Frenchy's .240+ and (potential) 11 homers would be huge.

The question is: Will the solution come from within or from another team?

I really think the Braves will either be buyers or stay put at the deadline.

Trading someone like Vazquez or Yunel when a team is just three games under .500 doesn't make much sense.

In a divisional race where all of the teams have a shot, it probably wouldn't take much to put a team like the Braves (with impeccable pitching) over the top.
