The difference probably comes down to how artificially high saves figure into fantasy drafting. He didn't make his appearance today. When the station tried to find him they were told he's on a flight to KC to negotiate a contract to replace Tony Muser. And he's been leading the rumors to replace Felipe Alou in Montreal for the past few days. Conine will likely hit for a better average.
Bonds is the best all-around player right now.
Good fit for both teams. Tavarez is a useful pitcher but that start was a little more than should be expected. However, he's a smart enough pitcher to be pretty solid the rest of this year. Andres might be a good gamble for them because Texas likely would take a young pitcher and then open up room at first base-DH for Carlos Pena, an outstanding prospect. But I think the Braves need to get a guy who's more certain to provide a major impact.
