I'm not terribly happy to see Infante go... as he was a fast/quick base runner, the best hitter on our team (at least the 2nd half of season), a hard worker, and seemed to always be in a good mood.
But... On the flip side. I'm very happy to get Uggla. I've thought for a while that he would be a great fit. A big bat... Not THE big bat I was hoping for, but it should be big in our line up.
Granted, there's still quite a few "IFs". IF Prado stays healthy, IF McCouth can re-gain his '08 form, IF Chipper can come back strong, IF Heyward can stay healthy and not fall into a Sophmore slump, IF our pitching can stay healthy, IF Freeman can continue his growth and become a worthy everyday 1st baseman... Despite all these IFs, things are looking pretty good.
