Look, Hart has made a lot of good moves for the future but his mandate is different than Wren's. Wren's was win now with what you already have. Hart's was, unload what major league value you have to set us up for 2017. We had a good run under Wren from 2010-2013.
2014 was pretty much his last stand with the 2010 core and it didn't work out.
We've gone over the Wren vs. Hart thing hundreds of times. Hart was only able to stock our a lot of our system with impact quality pitching recently because he used big pieces like Heyward, Justin, Kimbrel, to move them over. These were established talented major leaguers. I give full credit to Hart for maximizing the trade value of Justin and Heyward whom only had 1 year left before free agency.
It's too early to know how this year's draft will pan out in the future. What we do know is Hart has been aggressive in getting international slot money. We'll never know if Wren would've done the same since he was in a win-now mode not rebuild for 2017. The front office has already given up on actually competing this year and next year whereas Wren was about "How can I get us to the playoffs this year". Who knows maybe some of our baby Braves will have matured enough for us to make some noise in 2016, but it appears 2017 is what they're aiming for and they've hinted as much.
