A big part of the offense doing better is Freeman and Simmons rebounding. CJ too before he got hurt. And some addition through subtraction in center. All things that could be foreseen as likely this past offseason.

Even before Shelby Miller's no-hitter-in-progress, Atlanta looked like it won the Jason Heyward deal. Tyrell Jenkins solid at Double-A, too.
He's shown real reasons to believe he could be—but there are also real reasons he hasn't stuck with a couple teams heretofore, despite his age, athleticism, and a need in CF for those teams. I think it's too early to tell what Maybin will mean long-term for the Braves, though any amount of mattering will make the Kimbrel trade appear even better.

Oh, I think he could be. I've been as big a proponent of him as anyone here, if not the biggest. My point was that I don't think that he was targeted by the Braves in any meaningful way. He wasn't precisely a throw-in—taking him was probably conditional to SD's making the deal. So if he ends up as a contributor, awesome—but its more good fortune than perspicacity.

Shelby Miller doesn't give a fuhhh....He will go RIGHT after you.

Sure is nice to have a laugher of a game so far (thanks, Shelby) so we can debate world peace, the Braves future, etc.

Justin Boar reminds me of the St Paul Saints' porcine mascot of a few years ago, Justin Bieboar.
Edit: Any idea, [MENTION=54]50PoundHead[/MENTION], if the Saints are still trotting that set of trotters out there? Been a few years since I've caught a game in St Paul.
