Paul Maholm and Reed Johnson two very solid additions. The Maholm addition is in line with my initial thought that the Braves needed a solid guy not an ace. And adding in a right handed bat off the bench who has absolutely killed lefties is awesome. And I know the Braves gave up Vizcaino but I personally never trusted him and he has been hurt practically the entire time he was a Brave. I with him the best of luck but an oft injured reliever and a career minor leaguer is not too shabby to give up for a solid bench bat and a very solid lefty starter who is under control for a very affordable 6.5 million next year. Not to mention the Cubs sent cash over as part of the deal. So in my opinion this was a win for the Braves but definitely could be beneficial for the Cubs if Vizcaino remains healthy and they convert him too a starter again.
