Certainly an upgrade for the Braves, but as far as I can tell they'd still only have the second or third best first baseman in their division (and Texeira is hardly a stud compared to the rest of the NL - Howard, Pujols, Fielder, Lee, Young, Helton, Berkman, Delgado). ESPN's current frontpage seems to think that a team with Ryan Howard playing first base should somehow feel threatened by the Braves picking up Teixeira.
