Because of Escobar and Johnson the Braves will likely be able to give Furcal rest when he needs and should increase his games played to around 120 or so and 500 at bats. So wRAA at 500 would be .336-.332/1.15*500=1.74. Makes him about a 8.7 million a year player??? please let me know if i did something wrong thanks. I think this is a great signing for both sides.
