The problem here isn't Jason Heyward. The problem is Shelby Miller. Seriously? This guy sucks
I'm trying to see the positives - he's a young guy who projects as a low end #2 - high end #3 and still has upside. His peripherals were decent last year, though not as good as they were in his rookie year.
I have read interviews with Braves execs who want to get back to their roots with a pitching-centric team, but this is not what I was hoping for. Why not send JUp somewhere for an honest to god pitcher, and give Heyward another half season to prove himself? He's been decimated by slow starts, otherwise it would be much easier to extend him with confidence. Chances are decent that we could have gotten someone of Shelby Miller's caliber at the deadline anyways.
Ugh.

For a much, much smaller price. Braves just have STL a cornerstone of their outfield for the next 10 years for a pitcher who will probably go 12-12 with a 4.50 or higher ERA.
Someone in STL's front office is laughing their asses off at the ineptitude of Atlanta's front office.
Also, this tells me the organization has no hope for Medlen or Beachy ever throwin a pitch in the bigs again.
