Minors not that good your joking right. I bet your looking at him over 4 era and saying look he's not that good . Pitching in coors field will do that to you most times he's had the same amount of bad starts as has Julio exactly 2. As far as last year it's not just last year it's been since the all star break of 2012. Minor should have been an all star last year and mark my words he will be before too long. Not to mention the fact that minor is the only young starter we had last year who didn't let the pressure of the playoffs get to him this is who you want to get rid of for samardizja. So what if it's sims and wood hell no.
I am looking at him over his career so far. He's been get worse overall than he has been good. It's right there in the stats. Minor is a good pitcher, but Samardjiza is better. Minor is the 3rd or 4th best starter on the Braves.
Minor is the #2 and not that far away from Julio
Prove it.
And if you somehow do prove that. Is it worth trading Minor + prospects for Samardjiza and having to pay him big bucks sooner then you would Minor? If he is better than Minor it's not by much. And not worth the extra players in the deal plus him being closer to FA.
Your probably looking at losing wood in this deal and minor to fa again hell no
