Cheyanne wrote the Mailbag yesterday with the following question: With the Braves acquisition of Mark Kotsay what is the chance that Willie Harris or Brandon Jones is traded to get some more relief pitching? Well first off, Cheyanne, thanks for asking a question - you get two entries into the Kelly Johnson autographed ball contest, as do all mailbag participants. We don't think Willie Harris has much of a chance of being traded - he was released by the Braves after the Will Ohman trade (signed by the Nationals, by the way). However, I think your question bears some teeth here. We have a ton of outfielders.
