    "The Braves needed a home run hitter/run producer, and Uggla seems perfect for their lineup and that ballpark. The Braves don't have the sexy rotation that Philadelphia does, but they have five solid starters in Tim Hudson, Derek Lowe, Tommy Hanson, Jair Jurrjens, and 22-year-old lefty Mike Minor. It should be an interesting race with the Phillies. By the way, since we first reported that Uggla was closing in on a five-year, $61 million deal, talks have slowed as he sought a few more dollars. But a deal should get done the first week of January."
