My thoughts?  Sign Hudson now, before he can sniff free agency.  He wants to be in his home state of GA, and pitching in a Braves uniform.  He is only 34 years old, and posted a 3.61 ERA in his seven starts in 2009.  He also posted his best K:9 ration since 2001 with a 6.4.  So sign Huddy now, and try like hell to trade Derek Lowe.  The problem with trading Lowe, however, is that the Braves will have to pick up some of his salary.
