28-year old Darrell Evans is on the trade block, so I will give up 35-year old Joe Torre and Ed Kurpiel, the #25 prospect in baseball for him. Kurpiel is 21 and has hit 21, 23, 24 and 24 HR's up the chain the last 4 years and walked 113 times in AAA last year. But he has struck out over 100 times every year, I think he will max out as an Adam Dunn-type....very low average, lots of walks and k's and hr's. Evans can play 1st, 3rd, and all 3 OF positions, but I will plug him in at for for Torre.
Evans had a nice 1st month.

Kurpiel hit .417 with 3 HR's and was named rookie of the month for the Braves.
