Counting down 20 moves the Braves have lived (or will live) to regret:
20. Signing Chris Johnson. Inking a 30-year-old third baseman with a sketchy glove and horrible splits (13 walks, 116 K’s this year) to a 3-year extension worth $23.5 million (beginning in 2015) when you already have a line-up full of free swingers defies reason. Unnecessary and unwise.
19. Signing Kenshin Kawakami. The first of the players signed by FW not to finish out his contract, Kawakami made it through just two years of a 3-year, $22 million deal. Final numbers: 8-22, 4.
