Hart got raped. Should have been able to get Wacha for what we gave up

Looking at it from the Cards' perspective, I don't know how or if this trade helps us tremendously. If Heyward plays right, what does that do to Grichuk, who has already shown he can play at this level and played some pretty damn good defense himself in the short time he was up, and Piscotty, who was being looked at to compete for that right field spot with Grichuk and has a cannon for an arm. If Heyward were hitting 30 HR's a year or something I could see where they want more pop in the lineup.

Waldon is just one more in line in the bullpen along with the million other young arms the Cards can throw out there.

Not upset with the trade but don't see where it necessarily makes the Cards better either.

Wacha >>> Heyward

I think you're overvaluing Heyward here. I like the guy but both parties needed a change of scenery. Miller for Heyward seems pretty fair. I would have hated to be pressured into signing Heyward to an extension after another underachieving year.
