for a couple crappy relievers (like the Braves need more of these) :lolBIG:
The Atlanta Braves traded him on Wednesday for right-handed relievers Lance Cormier and Oscar Villarreal, reports The Associated Press.
Estrada went to the Braves in Dec. 2002 from Philadelphia. The 29-year-old hit .261 last season with four home runs and 39 RBIs. He made the NL All-Star team in 2004, when he batted .314 with nine homers and 76 RBIs.
The Braves will likely start Brian McCann behind the plate next year.
The 25-year-old Cormier was 7-3 with a 5.11 ERA in 67 relief appearances last season, and Villarreal, 24, went 2-0 with a 5.27 ERA in 11 relief appearances.
