JS Agressive? Really?

A quote from Stark's column today.

"Meanwhile, clubs that have talked to Atlanta say there isn't a buyer in baseball trying to be more aggressive or more creative than the Braves. 'They're in on everybody,' says one GM. 'Starters. Relievers. Bats. Older guys. Young guys. They're heating up to do something.'"

He also mentions teams asking about Elvis and Dan Smith. Despite the potential there I think those two are the best candidates to move. We all know Elvis' story, but smith is a little discussed secret. A 2003 undrafted FA he has since put up filthy numbers as a reliever and good numbers as a starter. His control is about where you'd expect for a AA prospect, but he's getting a lot of Ks. Right now he's striking out just under 13/9 innings with Mississippi.

How much you want to bet that Moore is the guy who's making a big stink over getting Smith in any trade?

BTW: If you haven't noticed i'm disavowing any knowledge of last night's game. It never happened.
