Clearly didn't feel like overpaying him. What kind of years were they looking at?

You have to throw in Walden just because though...

Agreed.

Yes.

Superior Franco coming though...

Also it will probably take Markakis the entire length of his contract to equal one year of Heyward. That's terrible value for us.

Assuming Markakis isn't already in a decline and is probably already being overpaid.

What about 3 Mukaki?

Good thing Jason can hit a baseball. Even better than a 31 year old Markakis...

I'm still a little weirded out by those saying Markakis is going to age well while Heyward will have to retire in 3 seasons though.

Well when you put it like this...

What if Seattle just says screw it we don't feel like getting Justin?

That's Trout and Markakis money.

Stat heads keep winning titles. They must know something the Braves don't.

So clearly the Cardinals got very lucky that a player like Jason Heyward was made available to them after such a terrible thing. They had a hole and filled it with a player they clearly valued.

That's the going rate for really good players.

So Bill James has an irrational love for Jason Heyward. Weird...

Oh so they were going to trade for whoever they could get. Interesting...

They still use advanced metrics. They clearly feel Jason's defense will help them keep consistently winning.
