If he did, then we've hit the jackpot. Whether we keep him or trade him, we'd get our own.

12 games folks...
Remember all of the spring training declarations.
Jace looks awful - Betancourt "looks" a "little" better but the results are awful. Simmons still can't walk. etc.
I agree on that but do the Braves really want to go back down the Upton road again? For an all-star OF'er to be essentially given to us and then for us to at least publicly not to make too much buzz about extending him even after he puts up good offensive numbers makes me wonder. Something tells me they have no problem he is in SD.

yes - if Hayward continues to be a terrible hitter and Miller continues a sub 2 ERA this year then we will have definitely won this trade
This early on, I just don't trust C-Beth's offense at all and I actually really like what Simmons is bringing to the plate. He still hacks, but it's been much less than last year and his stance has tightened up which has led to awesome results.
Defensively, both of these guys have been great. C-Beth has called beautiful games.

Mark Simon keeps track of hard hit rate. Currently he has the Braves in 3rd place in MLB (behind LAD and Oak) at 19%. In fact the Braves have been relatively unlucky this year with hard hit balls, thanks mostly to Freddie who has the highest out of any player in baseball, but has been extremely unlucky.
I wonder what Cardinal fans thought the following year they traded JD Drew to us and he had a MVP type season for the Braves.

Exactly, but the year of I don't believe Wainwright did anything for the team. But, STL fans are savy. They knew Drew wasn't going to sign long term and they got an awesome long term piece. Sounds kind of similar. Of course I'm not saying Miller is Wainwright but it is funny to see this type of deal from the other side.
