Probably a smart move by the Braves. He seemed to have leveled off . Lucky he didn't come up through our ogranization--Amaro would be in talks to make him a "Phillie for life" at this point
The reason I mention this is that in the case that Franco and Asche both turn out to be good fielding 3Bs and solid hitters (but not great hitters) they shouldn't be afraid to trade one of them and get even younger, rather than putting one of the at leftfield or 1b.
