The only reason the braves would have to overpay for an average player is the poor job drafting and developing they've done of position players in the years since Freeman and Heyward graduated. Unfortunately, with nobody on the farm and no good OF that year in FA, we're stuck with hoping Heyward becomes a better hitter than .240. I know he's still valuable if he hits .240 with 20 bombs and plays solid defense, but the Braves need him to be a 5 WAR player consistently.
