for

P Derek Lowe(82) 37 yrs old, $15.0 mil thru '12
P Kenshin Kawakami(82) 35 yrs old, $6.66 mil thru '11
OF Nate McLouth(75) 28 yrs old, $5.5 mil thru '11
3B Eric Hinske(79) 32 yrs old, $1.0 thru '10
SS Eric Hawn(62/87) 18 yrs old, arb '13

This trade is basically a salary dump for Atlanta, which allows him more freedom to make some moves before the trade deadline and gives us a SS spect for our system. Going through a rebuild, we have room for these salaries within our budgeting and a couple could provide some help on our roster this season.

i accept i gained a useful bench player possibly start but the most part i dumped a huge amount of money off my hand and if things keep going good this will help a ton to pick up a few more pieces
