Spring Training Gamethread/Discussion

Medlen and Maddux should not be mentioned in the same sentence. Sorry but it's not even close.

I didn't say Medlen was Maddux, but closest thing to Maddux that I have watched pitch. Obviously Maddux is and was far superior, but their mound presensce and the way they carves up hitters was very similiar. I loved watching Medlen's efficiency. Neither were hard throws, relied on pinpoint control and moving the ball around, both have that cutter fastball that comes in on lefties, and both have great changeups.
 
Heyward looks poised to have a monster season. Should have just signed him long term.

I agree. But the Braves are playing it safe because baseball salaries are guaranteed. If he stays healthy this year we'll extend him and pay him the big bucks like Freddie.
 
Heyward is good at baseball. once the fluke injuries stop happening he will remind everyone why he was considered one of hte best prospects in the last 30 years.

I want him to breakout as much as anyone here. I have a hard time believing he is going to turn into that player though. Difference of opinions as usual though.
