Braves can't keep making big-money errors | Mark Bradley | www.ajc.com - The Braves got away with paying Derek Lowe to leave, and they’ve largely gotten away with Uggla’s three seasons of diminishing returns. Despite general manager Frank Wren’s inefficiency with big salaries, his team has still won more games than any other National League team the past four seasons. But ultimately that dead money – Uggla didn’t make the postseason roster, and Upton was essentially the 25th man – had an impact. Because of the Uggla/Upton failures, the Braves tried to play a Division Series with three outfielders manning spots that didn’t maximize defense, and their starting second baseman was the Kansas City castoff Elliot Johnson.
