There's also a misconception about adding muscle slowing you down. You can get bigger and still be agile. It's the kind of muscle you put on. Heyward isn't going to go for bulk. Most baseball players stay away from that kind of muscles mass.

I hope he can handle it. We've seen some frustration out of him before and I think it could be a cause for concern.

I think we could of competed with our current staff but really only needed one more top guy. Now we need a whole new OF. Not to mention we only have one guy on the infield who can be called a "hitter".

Heyward is taller but Griffey was just thick. Like yeezus said he's way closer to Justin's build.

Those are a lot of dominoes that have to fall when before the TLS trade we just needed a CF and a platoon partner for Johnson to be a contender again.

Jason has the body of a basketball player.

And yet they gambled hard on Uggla and BJ with large amounts of money.

We'd have to acquire a lot of players who are just on the cusp. Our lineup is literally a mess and worse if Justin goes. I don't see how one trade will fix that.

Every contract is a gamble. Hasn't stopped us from handing them to everyone but Heyward and Upton.

If we trade Upton I'd be a lot more comfortable with a full rebuild. Wasting Freddie and Kimbrel's prime years to sell tickets seems like a waste of time.

They paid to keep him in Miami. That's the price that particular franchise has to pay.

:YDS:

That's true for most contracts. You get a bargain out of the production for the 1st half and then the second half evens out. That's why you see players restructure their contracts later in the deals. To help everyone out assuming your team has financial problems. We'll see it with Freeman...

It was just a joke to lighten the mood, Francis.

He'll be nearing 30 in 5 years. At the very least you'll probably get A 30 WAR out of him and that's assuming his offense doesn't improve at all. That's still a very very good player.

Man how screwed are we when Freddie loses his ability to hit in two years.

They're not exactly proving me wrong. Because Jason is going to fall apart in his PRIME years. Are you even aware that Jason is only 25?

I can only assume(like everyone else) that no real talks took place. Probably just some feeling out but I think it's become painfully clear that Hart and company don't value what Heyward brings so they probably low-balled him.

So they're just crap evaluaters who decided a follow up wasn't needed. Good to know everyone is doing their do diligence.

It's funny that people think Wren could do anything without the approval of the homeboyz upstairs.
