Heyward (05-17-2015)
I find myself rereading the Heyward trade thread after each of Shelby's starts. It's pretty entertaining.
Zito should have been on suicide watch. Lol

Walden is worth more than Jenkins. So you are telling me Shelby Miller is worth more than Heyward? What a ****ing joke.

Wow I need to digest this a bit. Getting past the shock of Heyward for a minute, Shelby Miller is a potential front line SP with years of control and has already proven to be very effective. Tyrell Jenkins is a hell of a pitching prospect and young. Still needs time to develop though.
I've got to say....this is a pretty good haul for 1 year of Heyward.

Think anyone with half a brain knew Heyward wasn't staying here long term and it was a risk to sign him to big dollars as it is due to his lack of offensive production.
But, Shelby Miller? Really, not like Shelby Miller and a top 10 prospect? Not Shelby Miller and Matt Carpenter? Not Shelby Miller and someone good at the very least?
I'm shocked.

Some positives to take away, Miller finished this yr on a roll with a 2.95 ERA over his last 12 starts. May be something clicked for him.

Think I'm done as a Braves fan. He was my favorite player to watch, and this is a joke of a return.
Terrible organization.
Later, y'all.

See, many of us don't see Miller's ceiling as all that high—and that's a big part of the issue here that I guess you're not seeing.

Very funny!
On the Cardinals board they also don't like the trade.
Because they don't see how the can extend both.
We get 4 years of Miller and prob. another free 10 Mio. $!
Very excited to see what this team will do? Sign one of the top pitchers this year / or probaly next year, where more aces are FA.
Will they go hard after Yoan Morcada?

Maybe this trade is our revenge for the Wainwright deal? An oft injured talented corner outfielder. In return we get the future ace pitcher in the trade.
Only time will tell where thing go from here, but at this time, the trade is leaning VERY heavily in the Braves favor.

It appears Jeff Conine will NOT be the Marlins manager.
